Elder Mills Portrait

Elder Mills had this picture of him painted to give to his mom when he gets home

 

Divisions with Hermana Adams and Hermana Ortega

 I did divisions in Bendeck with Hermana Adams and Hermana Ortega. We taught a few lessons, visited a few members and also got stood up for a few appointments.  It was a lot of fun. We forgot to take a picture of course. 

Zone Council with El Carmen

They had a cake for Hermana Kunzler and Elder Gamboa because they are going home at the end of the transfer

Elder Stout and Elder Knutson made this hilarious slide with Jesus playing basketball against Satan

We went to Wendy's with the zone after zone council

 

Elder Ortiz's Divisions

Elder Ortiz went back to Olanchito after the MLC with the Olanchito ZL"s and did a bunch of divisions.  He went out with the Olanchico ZL's, Elder Miles and Elder Adanque. The Saba Elders, Elder Jones and Elder Huber.  The Isletes Elders, Elder Flint and Elder Villasenor, and the Bella Vista Elders, Elder Nowell and Elder Jaco.  Then he met us back in La Ceiba on Sunday night.

Mission Leader P-day and Mission Leader Council

The MLC was begging me for cookies so I got up super early this morning and made cookies for them.  They are so spoiled.

The missionaries are so fun to hang out with. They are always laughing and enjoying being together.

Elder Knudson bought these jorts (jean shorts) at the Megapaca (a Honduran thrift store). We are pretty sure that they are girls shorts, but he loves them.

They all wanted to know how much they weighed

We didn't get to go to the temple for this MLC because it was closed. So we had MLC in the morning Tuesday and then everyone went back to their areas.

 

Beautiful Trees

The trees all over San Pedro Sula are blooming and they are so beautiful

Weekend in Roatán

We went to Roatan for the weekend to see the missionaries and help the 2 branches that are under there mission there. We went Friday morning and came back Monday afternoon. 

We stayed at Infinity Bay in Roatan.  There are some members of the church from Florida that have a condimium in the Infinity Bay Hotel.  They let us stay in their condo for just the cleaning fee.  It was super nice of them.  The resort was super nice.  We actually got to relax for our p-day on Saturday and do a little snorkeling. 

We went to our favorite Thai restaurant, The Blue Elephant

We went to the branch in Roatan and then the branch in Los Fuertes

This is the Los Fuertes building

Monday Sloan and Amy Jorgensen, who are the mission dentists, invited us to come to there house on Roatan. (The Jorgensens happen to live in Moses Lake Washington. They are serving a service mission in the Roatan and El Salvador Missions. They don't have to live in the mission, but they just happen to have a house that they visit frequently in Roatan). They invited us and all the missionaries on Roatan out for p-day.  We got there and had been there for a few hours when we got an email from our airline that our flight had been moved up from 5:30pm to 2:30pm.  So unfortunately we had to run out and head to the airport right away. We were kind of bummed, but what do you do?

Missionaries on Roatan

Elder Gornichec, Elder McDowell, Elder Crane, Kirt, Me, Elder Wolff, Elder Ortega, Elder Sac, Hermana Echegaray, (not pictured Hermana Delgado)

While we were there, the Jorgensen's volunteered to let us use their house in April when our kids come to visit. It was so generous of them. 

Lunch with the Office Elders

We survived another transfer day. We couldn't do it without the help of our AP's and office Elders.  They don't sleep for several days straight, often get to drive to Tegucigalpa to sort out arrival or departure issues for the incoming or outgoing missionaries, shuttle missionaries all over, work out multiple logistics and so much more. We are so grateful for them.
