Honduran people make tasty food.

This week went by incredibly fast. Most of it was actually spent outside of our area again. We went through a ton, helping everyone in the zone with the awesome things that they were working on. It`s actually really crazy, because we have three people in the zone right now who are right now in their last week of the mission. In one week, they won`t be in this country anymore. They`re are a little bit nervous about that, because the mission life is VERY different from the life before and after, and they`ll really be going through a big change, going back home. I`m lucky that I don`t have to worry about that right now. 

Today we had a fun zone activity where we made baleadas, which are a type of Honduran food involving wheat tortillas, beans, eggs, cheese, and some other tasty things. It`s kind of like a breakfast taco, but actually shaped like a taco, and with a home-made tortilla that makes it really awesome. They were super tasty. We also had a huge water balloon fight and all got soaking wet.

This week my companion and I have been thinking a lot about faith. There are a few different types of faith, and some of them bring us more blessings and happiness than others. One type is the faith to try. If I have faith that something is good, I`m going to try to do it. But if my faith is only in my own physical abilities and talents, I may give up when I find out that I don`t know how to do it. Faith in ourselves is something that can be defeated. But if I know that God wants something, I can have faith in Him. This is the faith to DO, not just to try. If it`s what God wants, he will make it happen. And if what I want is what He wants, I don`t have to be worried if I go in without knowing how I`m going to make it happen, because I`m just the tool God is using to bring to pass His work, and He will make sure that everything He wants gets done. I`m not perfect, but it`s okay because God is, and he`s using me in the best way possible. 

I love you guys!
