Okeydokey,
today was Sunday! I love Sundays...it's very hard to find all your people to
teach, but Sundays are still the best. Thank goodness for church.

Today's
topic was tithing and fast offerings, it was interesting that one of the speakers
pointed out that this is the only commandment where the Lord basically says
"Try me." The commandment to honor your parents brings the promise of
long days upon the land, but paying tithing has the direct commandment,
challenge and promise of so many blessings to where we won't be able receive
them all right now. Neat, huh?
News from
Honduras :
it's still hot. We had some rain the other night, but lately it's been very
clear and very, very sunny. But that's
alright. Every year it's hotter, and the
rain comes later, but by October-ish it should not be quite as hot. Anyways.
Patty's
mom died this morning, (Patty is one of our investigators), so we were pretty
sad about that. She had cancer and had problems with her lungs, been in the
hospital and on oxygen for a few weeks now, and so she passed on early this
morning. We went by to offer our condolences and let Patty talk to us, we'll
visit her during this week as well. There have been so many deaths here, every
other week we hear of someone dying that either we know our investigators know. Pucha.
In other
news from Honduras ,
there's a lot of jobs that require soldering work, and the way that happens is
that they hook a jumper cable up to a car battery and stick the little metal
rod in the clamp, and that's what they use to solder. Very interesting to
watch, I didn't know that you could do that. It's also very bright, but
sometimes the people don't use the mask-shield-thing to protect their eyes, and
so they get damaged from the light, and also sometimes the sparks fly up into
their eyes and cause problems as well. Also interesting to note.
We have a Jamaican buddy that always says hi when we pass by where he works, so that always makes me smile. Actually, he's Honduran, but he has really long dreadlocks and always wears his brightly colored Rasta cap and says assorted English phrases (so far they're clean, thank goodness, it's quite refreshing to just hear nice English instead of bad words and ridiculous requests), mostly "goodbye," "hello," "nice to see you") with a Jamaican accent. Good fellow to have around.
