transfers

Dear Family,

Ok, just to finish up telling you everything about Marcala..They only closed the area of the sisters and 2 pair of elders are still working with the branch.  So we spent the whole day on tuesday showing the elders where our investigators live and introducing them. It was king of hard.  I felt like i was handing my children over to someone else.  But Factoria and Natividad are doing well.  Last we heard, the lawyer had turned in a report of her life story to the register and we are now just waiting for an answer of what needs to be done next. Thanks for remembering her in your prayers. 

Ok, so now I am in Roble oeste which in Comayaguela.  Or basically part of the capitol.  This is my first time being in the city and it has been quite the culture shock.  My area is basically like the Beverley Hills of Honduras and its kind of intimidating.  I have to dress differently, talk differently teach differently and i feel like i've been transfered to a completely different mission.  I went from sitting in little homes with chickens running around me to fancy mansions.  I actually feel kind of spoiled.  As you can see in the photo attached, we have a great view of the temple from our house.  Its really exciting being in this area because a lot of people have questions about the temple.  However it is still kind of hard to find investigators because almost all the homes in our area are gated off so we have to find connections to get in.  The members are really great and it is so nice to be in a ward with so many active members.  Our mission president attends our ward and the APs too.  Today we had the privelage of helping out in the temple.  They haven't finished a few things and they just got a shipment of the furniture so we got to help un pack it and carry it into the temple.  Its really beautiful!  The director gave us a really cool tour.  My companion is hermana Guyant and shes from Eagle Mountain. Another gringa!  We had a trio with hermana chavez who is from Honduras but she was waiting for her visa to go to mexico so she was with us for a few days.  She left this morning. 

Love you all!
