Very Third World Lately July 26, 2010

So things in Honduras have been... well... very third world lately. My mission credit card wasn't working so I went broke (now it works so we are better) I think I am getting sick, The current mosquito carried dengae virus is now an official epidemic, and on Sunday morning some one was shot and killed in the street. It is very normal in Honduras, but usually it is not less than a block from my house in front of my favorite area pastry store. So that was kinda of sketchy...

However besides that I had a great week. My companion had to go to a bunch of training meetings, so I got to go in a triple with two other elders. They were having paper work problems so we just went all over the place the whole week traveling and joking. To finish it all off Friday I got to go to a wedding in a little tourist town like two hours a way in a car. A Mini-van! I can't remember the last time I got in a mini-van. So I just got to play like the whole week and didn't even have to feel guilty about it!!! So awesome.

Oh, so I heard we are getting hit with some tropical storms, so yesterday I was walking back to the house to eat dinner with my companion when all of the sudden we just see a gigantic cloud come tumbling over the mountains and begin to swallow Teguc whole! We take off running for the house. It was just a giant white wall of water. We got to the house in time to escape what was the sky literally falling. Roads to rivers in like 3 minutes. It was crazy, and they said more like that is coming... vamos a ver.

I am trying so hard to change myself, and become better. I am finally seeing some real progress and I am grateful for that. I am praying for a real change of heart and I hope one day to achieve that dream. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for this chance to find myself, and find out who I need to be. I do feel bad sometimes cause I didn't come to the mission prepared very well at all, and I am not that good at being a missionary, but I am trying and I know my Heavenly Father loves and is patient with me. My hope is is that yesterday in church some one was talking about how sometimes when we change we are the last ones to realize or see our own change. I just hope that's true.

Amen, Elder Morris
