hey guys its your boy brendo. not too much to report this week. just an average one. we out here working and sweating. we had a multi zone conference about faith. which was good, because faith is so important out here. they repeated mark 9:23 like a thousand times which was really cool cause i think we forget that a lot. not much else happened except for last night we (i mean i because my comp was too scared) had a pretty crazy rat chase. so rats are a problem down here along with a lot of other problems down here lol. but like a couple weeks ago we noticed a rat run across our study room so we chased it outside but apparently he came back cause last night while i was laying down i saw him zoom across the room. so we decided this time we were capturing him for good. so i grabbed a pasta colander (or however you spell that) and we trapped it in our study room. he was hiding behind some boxes of books of mormon and stuff so i told my comp to go kick the boxes and right then that rat zoomed out. i threw the colander on him but i trapped his neck under the rim of the colander so as he was like being strangled by the thing we just squished his head. after a couple pics we threw him to our neighbors dog and that was the end of our story. just hope another one doesnt show up. on the bright side i heard honduras just beat el salvador as the most dangerous country in the world so thats sick. lol love you guys!!

hey guys

hey guys. another week. we had changes this week but because im training the guy im with right now, we get to stay together another change in catacamas together. pretty chill week although there are alot of missionaries finishig their missions right now so this change alot of areas got closed and i got made district leader of not only the two sisters who were already in my district but of the zone leaders and the sister training leaders. which is crazy cause i was trying to avoid responsibility and yet here we are getting more and more put on lol. no but its all good they say that as soon as you get comfortable in the mission they give you another challenge, so i guess its all good for the growth. nothin too crazy this week happened, just working like normal. its starting to rain alot which sucks cause working in the rain blows when all your streets are straight dirt. its like walking through muddy rivers every where we go. Reber is about to hit a year which is crazy cause i feel like just yesterday we were saying bye and grabbing some fili b's. (ooooo what id do for a california burrito). shakira just came out with a new song with nicky jam which is real good. my love for her grows stronger everyday lol. funny story for the week:  theres this family that we always hang out with because theyre super funny but only half of the fam is member and less active at that. the only real member served a mission and is now in argentina studying. but we think he left some of his garments on accident and his 17 year old brother was wearing it like a normal tshirt lolol. also let me establish the kid who went on a mission is the only one that went to the temple and stuff like that so the two other members that are baptized in his family have no idea about garments or that sttuff so it was hilarious and awkward cause we didnt know what to say. thats pretty much it. love you guys so much and keep the emails coming im getting lonely.

officially the only gringo in the district

long week

hey guys its been awhile. but super crazy couple of weeks. we had a multizone conference, we had 3 baptisms, did a service project and rainy season is finally here (it was nice to have a different change of weather and routine), found a new baleada place, ate there too many times, got sick from baleada place, stomach killed me then all the pain went to my appendix area so i started to get scared, went to a clinic, doctor tells us 90 percent is apendicitis, rush 4 hours to tegucigalpa, get to hospital, tell us its just a really bad infection, chill in tegus for a couple days, came back and im taking a ton of pills lol, saturday a member invited us over to watch the end of the champions league, where freaking real madrid took another cup, and this week we have apostle dale g renlund coming so that'll be sick. and on a high note my comp loves taking pics soooo i might actually have a constant email for while. (that is if we don't get changed). lol love you guys.
