Hello hello!

It's been a crazy couple weeks since I've written you, hope everyone is alive and well (RIP Alex)

Christmas Activity:

Last Monday our mission had a Christmas party! (which is why I didn't write home last week) and it was a lot of fun! Got to see some good friends again and play some sports and other games! It was a good time. I also may have stolen a large tub of crunchy peanut butter but that's a story for another day. My mission president's wife took lots of pictures and my mom uploaded them on my mission blog, so if you'd like to see them here's a link

Leader's Council:

On Tuesday I got to go to my first Consejo de Líderes as a zone leader! Which means I had to spend the night in Tegucigalpa. Monday evening I went out with Elder Brown to do some visits in my old area and I got to say hi to one of my converts and a couple members! It was fun! Then we had a sleepover with the Asistentes (shoutout Elder Nolasco) and Tuesday morning we had the consejo and it was pretty cool. Got some good advice and ideas for how to help out our zone. We got home Tuesday night so we just got dinner and had to go home.

Missionary work:

So the week actually started on Wednesday, but we worked hard to make up for lost time! We've been receiving some really good references and have had some really cool experiences lately, but we've been struggling getting people to show up to church. Even the most positive people we teach just seem to disappear Sunday mornings when we stop by their house to take them to church. It's a little discouraging but we're praying and looking for ways to help people understand the blessings they're missing out on! (pray for me pls)

So that's about it for this week. If you have any questions, let me know. Christmas is coming up in a couple weeks so look for ways to share the Gospel with people this Christmas season! Light the world! And, as always, make good choices!
