Hello family!
This week we
saw a little bit of success with service. We talked to a family and realized
that they were getting ready to move into a house in our area. We went back
Saturday to help them move in. They don't have a lot of stuff, so there wasn't
much in the way of heavy lifting, but we did help them clean and organize. We
invited them to come to church. They came--a little late--but the point is they
came. They seem to be receptive to letting us visit them. We still haven't had
a sit down lesson, but hopefully we'll be able to soon!
This week was a
slow week for being able to teach. But Hna Hill and I had a reality check that
being sad about only teaching 23 times is just because of the mission we are
in. I am sure there are many, many missions where 23 lessons would mark a
fruitful week. So we are trying to be grateful for what we have, like the fact
that after many dry weeks, we had a family (father, mother, 10-year-old son,
and baby) come to church! Of course, we will have to help them see the
importance of getting married, but that is just how it goes.
This week we
are going to try to work more with members to find and teach. We did some
thinking and talking, and we think that perhaps this week was so challenging
because we were trying to do it on our own. Hopefully working with members will
help our members to strengthen their testimonies and help our investigators to
progress. We can find people who will let us in once and listen to us. But
being able to go back is hard, and getting them to keep commitments is even
harder.
But still, the
same work continues. We are in rainy season now. (It seems that this part of
Honduras has two rainy seasons--one in early summer and another in ''fall'' and
early ''winter.'') But in reality Honduras only has summer with some cool
snaps.
I love you all
and hope you have a great week. Enjoy the pictures!
Love,
Sister Davis
