So I'm now a Vietnamese Speaking Missionary :)
Hola y'all :)
So this week has been a pretty interesting week. Okay so for the story behind the title. This Saturday
Elder Israelsen and I went out early to tract because it was just such a
nice morning! Sidenote: The weather has been awesome the past few days!
80 degrees with a breeze and low humidity... It has been heavenly! :)
Anyways so we go out at about 9:15ish to check up on a member and decide
to do some tracting when they weren't home. The area that we were in is
called The Village. There are pretty much two nationalities, Garifunas
and Vietnamese. Garifunas are anciently of African decent but were
brought to Honduras so they speak Spanish. Well we picked two streets to
tract and EVERY person that answered was Vietnamese!! Like holy cow!
None of them spoke much English so it wasn't very effective talking to
them but it was fun! Now I am trying to learn some Vietnamese so I can
tell them that we are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints! Should be fun!
This week we went to the
park again with our High Council Group Leader. We brought pizza again
and played horseshoes and ultimate Frisbee! It was a lot of fun and we
got to talk to a lot of people who were interested in playing with us or
eating the pizza haha :) I mean if the JW's were offering free pizza I
would probably talk to them so.... haha all in all it was an awesome hour
or so at the park :)
Other than that this week
we have been working pretty hard with the members here. We are trying
to get the attendance up at the Spanish group but it is hard because
most of the members here work on Sunday
and dont get off until 6 which is when the group starts. The members
here are super solid though and love the missionaries coming over.
Well I think that is all for this week :)
