And We're Off!

We just finished another round of mission interviews and zone conferences.  They roll around very quickly on this new schedule of six week rotations. We have a week to plan, two weeks for interviews, two weeks for zone conferences and then a week for transfers. If we thought we were busy before... well it just got busier!  We are so grateful for these exuberant youth who are filled with the spirit and work hard.  They know they have a great message to share with the people of Honduras and, despite difficult conditions (heat, rain, dirt roads that are often muddy, to mention just a few of their challenges), they love this work and so do we!

 The hermanas did a training segment at each of the zone conferences on keeping our homes orderly and clean so that the spirit will be able to dwell there. They suggested helpful cleaning tips so that we can be healthy.

Here They Come... & There They Go... Again!

On February 28th we welcomed 14 new missionaries to the Honduras San Pedro Sula East Mission.  They have been looking forward to this day for a long time and are so excited to finally arrive in their mission.  They are pretty tired after an early wake up call to make their flights, but they are just getting started!  After a baleada breakfast, they discover where in the mission they have been assigned and meet their trainers. Following that there is an orientation meeting packed full of important information.  I hope they can stay awake!

Elder Cerdhe was a little late joining us but we are so glad to have him serving here with us.
Now, let the work begin!


 These are the missionaries that have finished their service.
They bear strong testimonies of the many truths they have come to know over the time they have spent serving the Lord teaching repentance and baptizing converts.  They are returning with honor and are prepared to continue doing good and becoming all that the Lord has in mind for them.
