SALVATION IS NOT A CHEAP EXPERIENCE
[Quote I sent him]:
I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience. Salvation never was easy. We are the Church of Jesus Christ, this is the truth, and He is our Great Eternal Head. How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him?"

Well this week has been one of those not crazy ones. Today we woke up at 5:15 to play basketball with the office from the West mission, we beat them 3 games out of 5. Then we went to the big market place where they sell tons of souvenirs. I didn't buy anything, but I'm planning on getting some awesome stuff. I want to buy some SWEET machetes with painted sheaths. I just have to get them home.
After writing, Elder Draper and I are going to SAN JUAN! It's my last area. It's kinda close to here. We will go in the bus. There is a baptism that he was invited to. I got invited to one, but the missionaries never passed that message on to me. Dang it. But I'm super excited, just to see a couple people and be there again.
Interesting things from this week:
~We were driving down the street and we saw a car FULL of bullet holes. Haha!
~We contacted a crazy guy who played professional soccer here. He's super funny, but does not make much sense a lot of the time.
~Elder Guadarrama and I sent 2 Hondurans to their mission in Costa Rica. They came to our mission a couple of weeks to wait for their visas. That was fun. They were both pretty cool.
There's a marriage couple coming to the mission. They sound SOOOO awesome. He was a stake president and patriarch and she was a nurse and other cool stuff. So awesome! Pres is going to send them to Tela. Shoutout to Tela!!
My time in the office has gone by really fast. In two months I will leave. I want to train soooo bad. Fingers crossed.
