Finally I get to write. Its so hard here. They honestly have nothing. Our house is nicer than all of the members and everyone. Its only me and my companion living in our house. His name is elder Herrera and is from mexico. So I have to speak Spanish all day which is good for me. They speak so fast but I am getting used to it and can understand most of it. There were 32 new missionaries the same day as me. That's the most there has ever been. I miss all of you guys so much. This week was the hardest week of my life. But we have 2 baptisms set for this Friday. Both of them didn't want to get baptized but then when I came they both said yes. I don't know why. Its nothing that I did. I have no idea. But that's good. I live 40 minutes outside of Tegucigalpa. I don't like living in a pueblo. I want to live in the city. My district thinks I will be training a new missionary in 11 weeks but I don't. We'll see. I don't know what to say other than this is so much harder than I expected. We have a huge area so we walk a ton. In 5 weeks we get two more missionaries in our area so that's less work for us which is good. The members are great. I love them. Not gonna lie, I hated church yesterday. It didn't even feel like church. Its so different. I am going to have to give a talk soon. Oh and the reason why this is so scattered is because our president only allows 30 minutes of email. We don't know why but that's his rule. Also we cant drink coke. No clue why. I don't know what else to say. Except this is so hard.
LATER IN THE DAY:
President changed the rule and now we get 50 minutes so I have 10 extra minutes to be on. My companion is going to give me a blessing when we get back to the house.
EVERYONE...PLEASE REMEMBER AUSTIN IN YOUR PRAYERS. HE IS HAVING A HARDER TIME ADJUSTING THAN HE EXPECTED OR THAN EVEN I EXPECTED. I KNOW THAT IF HE CAN FEEL SOME COMFORT THEN HE WILL BE ABLE TO ADJUST QUICKLY AND NOT THINK ABOUT HOME. HE ALSO DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO EMAIL AS YOU CAN SEE. THE EMAIL RULE WAS CHANGED TODAY BY THE CHURCH AND ALLOWS THEM TO NOW EMAIL THEIR FRIENDS AND PRIESTHOOD LEADERS AND ASKS THAT THE MISSION PRESIDENTS ALLOW ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM TO DO THAT. MAYBE HE WILL GET EVEN MORE TIME NEXT WEEK AS I JUST HEARD THIS NEW INFORMATION SO LIKELY MANY OF THE MISSIONARIES HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT IT YET. LETTERS WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED WITH LOTS OF ENCOURAGING INFORMATION IN THEM! IT IS FREE ON WWW.DEARELDER.COM AND A LARGE POUCH OF LETTERS IS SENT EVERY TUESDAY FROM THE CHURCH HEADQUARTERS. THE DEADLINE IS SUNDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT FOR IT TO GET MAILED THAT TUESDAY. THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT.
