welll its been a pretty crazy week guys. this week we had changes in the office. im officially the new financial secretary which means i have a ton of new responsibilities. im now in charge of making sure all the missionaries get their budgeted money on time, im in charge of making checks for all big mission activities or expenses, i take care of all reimbursements in the mission, and i pretty much have to be counting money alllllll day. its super stressful. i gotta make sure that all of the money of the church is put to good use and that none of it gets lost. honestly not sure why president chose such a bum like me to do the job but i guess its cool he trusts me. really the only perk that comes out of this job tho is now i get to drive. Driving in Honduras is one of the most fun and risky things ever. there are literally no rules. two lane roads become 3 or 4 lane roads, red lights are pretty much just stop sign, and the honking is nonstop. its super scary but it kinda doesnt even feel like driving, i juts feel like im in a go kart making my own rules on the street. the funny thing is that even the cops dont enforce rules, the other day i ran a red light and instead of doing anything responsible the cops actually sped up behind us to catch the red light lol. its seriously insane, im gonna feel real weird when i drive in the states again. but anyway because me and stone got moved up my boiz huscroft and Gonzalez got moved back to the field and we have two new guys elder merida whos almost about to finish his mish and my new comp elder zachreson who came with me to the mission. hes a chill guy hes from AZ too but from kingman, so hes kinda a small small town guy lol. so this past week ive just been teaching him my old job and ive had gonzo teaching me this new one. honestly everything is going good over here just stressin about my new work. crazy how fast time is flyin in the office tho, before i know it itll be 2018 which means i will have finished my calendar year in the mish which is pretty cool. not much else new. love you guys soooo much.

welll a year later and i still feel as immature as ever lol. hahah its crazy how fast this past year has flown by. i feel like just yesterday i was saying bye to everyone. just gives me hope that this next year will fly too and ill be with you all again. but it really is crazy how much you can learn in one year. i got thrown into a crazy different culture with a different language and its been a crazy journey. ive seen the gospel change people and ive learned to appreciate everything i have. the people of honduras have taught me it doesnt matter how much you have or your circumstances, its all about attitude. it definitely hasnt been an easy year but im so grateful for it. i know its only gonna get better and i gotta take advantage of this last year. but as far as the last couple weeks have been its been super good here in the mish. we got to watch conference in the office with some dennys and then on monday we played paintball. pretty chill week after that no meetings or anything so the office is chill. but changes are coming up so we gotta start working again. then i hit the one year which was sick. me and my best bud huscroft (my comp from the mtc) both hit a year together so we wilded out. it was super fun. only 11 months left. love you guys and peace until the next letter.
