Elder Andrew Smart: No White Flags

Sent 3/21/16

So this week we had divisiones with the APs (assistant to the president of the mission) in la Lima, so we had to get up at 3:30 am for the bus again, but we arrived there like at 7:30, and they had the 8 week meeting going on, so we got permission to go and visit Berlin!! And since my comp and I were both there, it was awesome!! I saw my converts, and Hermana Morlen!!! My favorite abuela Catracha (Honduran Grandma)!

But the coolest thing was that the rest of the family got baptized after I left, as a result of them being baptized and sharing their testimonies and taking them to church. Awesome.

We sold hamburgers in our zone to raise money to help a couple get married this week, nice.

My comp had a nasty ear infection this week and so we had to go to the hospital and get him injected 3 times in the nalgas!! Jajaja that was funny. Good guy.

We also had a youth activity in our zone this week. We did a super contact with some youth preparing for missions. We were out front of the chapel waiting for the rest of the missionaries to get there, when all of a sudden, next to the church, we heard like 30 gun shots. Then a dude running with an AK47 jumps into a white car with tinted windows, and speeds off. He had lit up a pulperia or something with lead. Straight unloaded. And we were like 20 feet away with all the youth... but we were in the church yard, so we were protected and no one snagged a stray bullet. The Lord protects his flock.

Also it was fathers day here, so we had an activity. Someone made some really good flan, so hats off to who ever it was.

I also really enjoyed the ¨Ricciardi letter¨ it is amazing and really makes me look at myself as a missionary, amazing.

We also had a service project for the ward. We made a new tin awning and new mud-oven for a sister in the ward. That was super cool. But only a super old guy and the bishop helped us, so it took like 4 hours, but they fed us tacos, so it was cool.

Man, I'm really food motivated...
