Sometimes Im not sure if Im coming home, or leaving home.<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zdwYlTFqxHw/VdVfrPSljdI/AAAAAAAADsQ/fTLOVPdJCoc/s1600/mid_58965_DSCN1682.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zdwYlTFqxHw/VdVfrPSljdI/AAAAAAAADsQ/fTLOVPdJCoc/s640/mid_58965_DSCN1682.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
Reflecting on my mission, I know that I have worked as hard as I have been able to. I have been obedient and followed the Spirit. Heavenly Father has changed lives through the words He has put in my mouth to help the people of Tegicigalpa, Choluteca, and Valle de Angeles. I have overcome trials and challenges and sufferings, you dont even know the half of them. But, I have also felt incredible joy and happiness and recieved countless blessings. I have a life here that I dont want to leave, but I know that I have to.<br />
I promised myself in the beginning that I would work as hard as I could until my mission President told me it was time to go home, and I have done that. I tried 4 times to extend my mission, and was denied each time... President Bowler told me, Hermana Steele, you have to go home and get on with your life. Well I guess I have to, even if I dont want to sometimes. Really, it doesnt even feel real. I dont feel like Ill be in Canby, Oregon on thursday night. I felt yesterday in church as I was directing the hymns that I would be in that same spot trying to get Latinos to sing at least a little in tune in one week, but I won't.<br />
Yeah, Im sad. I am also happy. And nervous for what the future brings. I have to like, start the rest of my life now. What?<br />
:) I have loved my time in the mission. I have learned so much to apply into my life. I am so happy that I made the decision to serve. I feel like the last year and a half went by in a flash. Like it was a dream. There are so many memories and experiences and stories I cant wait to share with all of you.<br />
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7)<br />
I love you all so much. Thank you for all your support and love.<br />
<br />
Love for the last time, Hermana Steele<br />

Hermana M just isnt progressing like she should. We feel that it just isnt her time. Im really sad that we are going to have to drop teaching her. We will probably only go two more times, once to teach her this week, and next monday so I can say goodbye. I really love her and her family. I pray that in the future she will accept the Restored Gospel.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
Its sort of you know, insane, that I will be home in 10 days. What? When did that happen? We plan on working our hardest this week. Its my last full week here in Honduras until I can come visit again, but it just wont be the same coming back here and not being a missionary. There are so many recently returned missionaries here in Valle that are bugging me so much about how Im going home haha ahh I love them. I love it here. My two Bishops from the city are coming to the airport with their families to say bye to me. Man. I dont want to come home sometimes. The thought of not being a missionary...... :(<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
Lourdes, Odeths mom, is progressing well too. Something came up so she couldnt come to church on Sunday but she is still looking for her answer and reading. We have faith that she will progress towards baptism on the 5th of September. I wont be here, but, thats okay.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
It just keeps raining harder and harder so Im gonna go now, I dont want the power to go out again and we are far from home haha sooooo love you all SO much. Ill talk to you for the last time through email in exactly one week.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
Family, please bathe my dogs. Dont forget. I miss clean animals that I can cuddle with.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
love,<br />

She asked me for advice on how to be a good sister training leader. I dont really miss that calling. It was fun, but I love just focusing on my own companionship and area. Its much less stressful. We had some good lessons together. </span></span></div>

It was hard finding new investigators this week, but during the weekend we were finally able to find some! yay... the work continues...<br />
M. is progressing still. She.. is waiting for the answer to her prayers. I dont know when it will come (or when she will recognize it) but when it does, she will be baptized and will be one of the best members in the ward. Man.. I wish her answer would come. We have had some crazy and spiritual experiences with her lately... I love her so much. I hope her answer comes while I am here. I feel like I was sent here just for her.<br />
We went to the temple this week with the zone..... It was beautiful like alwaysss... the zone leaders took us to lunch BY THE AIRPORT... that wasnt cool haha </div>

my last mission comps name is Hna Vizcaino. SHE IS THE GREATEST THING EVER I LOVE HER SO MUCH. I remember when she came to the mission. She's the only one I remember from that day. I always wanted to be her comp. And here we are!! The great thing is that one time we did divisions together when I was an STL. And after these divisions shes always wanted to be my comp too. And.. so she asked President if we could be comps. That was a long time ago but he finally granted her wish and Im happy about that :D She is so great. She is from the Dominican Republic.<br />
Al and O were baptized this week :) I love them sooo much. We are teaching their family and they are progressing as well. Not as fast as they did, but they are progressing :)<br />
Iv wants to serve a mission. :D Shes seriously the most pilas thing Ive ever seen. She is so amazing. So sweet and just so perfect.<br />
I love you all. Time is flying really fast...<br />
love, hna steele<br />

Iv was baptized on Saturday!! It was such a beautiful baptismal service and she was sooo happy. She;s single and 25 years old, studying her second major in the university. The YSA of our branch are so pilas and they did so much for us. This saturday her friends Al. and O. are getting baptized. All thanks to Pedro, a member of the branch who invited them to church. We went with her last night to give her the scriptures we bought her and she told us that she is so excited to go on a mission in a year. She has been searching for the truth all her life and she has finally found it. She is passing a hard time in her life, but she has expressed how calm and happy she feels now, after she recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost. I love her so much :) She is going to be a great missionary one day. </div>

So last week I mentioned we went to a sealing. It was so beautiful. I love hna Zwang and I am so happy that she invited me to her sealing. She is someone I will be in contact with forever. It was suuuuch a beautiful day!!!!<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />M and her 3 children D, Mo, and Br will be baptized on the 18th of July :) She knows now that our message is true. We feel a really different spirit with her now. We gave to the kids a picture book of the stories of the book of mormon and theyre already half way through it and they tell us what they learn everytime we come, basically theyre just telling every story to us. they are so smart. I love them :)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The investigators we have right now who are progressing and getting baptized are all references from MEMBERS. We as members of the church have to give people we love to the missionaries!!! They are the ones most likely to get baptized. So take the missionaries to your friends. :D<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Hna Jimenez is going to have changes this week. She has arthritis and the cold and rainly weather is really hard on her, so she is getting transferred to the South. Im nervous to have a new companion. This week I start my last transfer........ajoewuihalidfaliweweu <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I think thats all for now... I love you all! have a great week :)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />love, hna steele</div>

almost a ward</h3>
<div class="missionletters_text" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32px;">
<span style="color: #5c5c5c;">This week I have things to write about. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Tuesday night I got a call from the sister training leaders in Esperanza saying were going to do divisions </span><span style="color: blue;">(when they change companions for a day) </span><span style="color: #5c5c5c;">the next day, and that I was going to Esperanza!! Yay!! So I went. Of ALL the dozens of divisions Ive done... Those were definitely my favorite. It was so great to see the people I love. We went to visit the Familia H. I. was so happy to see me, she was baptized with me in April. Her parents had gotten married and the husband C was all ready to be baptized on Saturday, but his wife.. Not so much. Even when we got to the house she was saying she wasnt prepared. But.. After a really powerful lesson and the closing prayer on our knees, we left the house, everyone crying, and the both of them were baptized together on Saturday. YESSSSS. The ward mission leader from Esperanza called me to thank me. The hermanas over there had been struggling with A(the wife) and hes like, you just got here and boom she accepts her baptism date! Im sure it was a beautiful baptism. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="color: #5c5c5c;">I got home from divisions on Thursday. Thursday was a normal day. The rest of the week was not...</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c;">Friday we had interviews as a zone with President Bowler. I always love interviews. That day I learned that Heavenly Father is really really merciful even if we dont deserve it hahahaha. Ill just leave it at that for now ;) The APs were teaching their lesson and the new AP this change, Elder Thompson, made us a promise that if we have 6 investigators progressing AND with a baptismal date and 3 in church every week we will have 2 baptisms in July. And my mind was like.... okay thats nice Elder Thompson okay mmhm yep. Sure. Ive had those dats a bunch of times and still no one gets baptized. But then I was like... President Bowler has called him to be assistant and tell us this. President Bowler was called to be President by the 12 and the first presidency... sooo... God has called Elder Thompson to make us this promise. SO. I have A LOT of faith in this promise. This week we had 7 progressing that also have a baptismal date and 7 in church. Were on the right track. I;m excited to have some baptisms. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c;">And really I have seen a huge difference since that meeting. We have found 11 new investigators the past 3 days. E, Iv, and O are the most positive. E (36 years) has already read up to 1 Nephi chapter 21. in TWO days. Iv (25 years) is getting baptized the 4th of July, she goes to institute with all the YSA, and she already has been to church 3 times. AND shes our neighbor! :p O (16) has a date for the 11th, she was a reference from Iv. Thats how you know if you have a REAL investigator. If they give you references. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c;">On Sunday Elder Ocampo of the 70 visited our branch to tell us and motivate us to work hard to be a ward. We are almost there!! My old bishop of Esperanza was released and now he is part of the stake so he had to come to the meeting, and he brought his whole family to see me :) </span></div>

The power was out ALL day yesterday, from the time we woke up until 8:56 at night. We worked until it got dark at about 6 and we went to out branch Presidents house to eat hot dogs cooked on the fire :) Then he took us home in his car, its a little frustrating going home early on the mission but we cant work in darkness. The few stars we could see (it was cloudy) were really pretty because there was no light for as far as I could see. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />So one day, we go and visit hno Gv. Gv is the uncle of one of the returned missionaries here. He has been inactive for a really long time. We visit him.... and he comes to church on Sunday! we visit him again.. and he came to church this sunday too! In a white shirt and tie and everything. We are hoping he continues being active. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Fun fact, it is sooo hard to speak English... Like I can speak it, but not well. My words get all mixed up. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I have so much love for the people here in Valle de Angeles. I feel as if I have spent my whole mission preparing to come here. When I first got here, we saw lots of immediate blessings and I was so happy. Since then, things have gotten harder, as they always do. Sometimes people we think who are golden and progressing, stop progressing. Sometimes people dont understand the Restored Gospel and dont feel the Spirit even when He is present. Sometimes things dont go as planned. But we continue working, just trusting in the Lord. Most of the time I feel as if I havent seen the success I want to in the mission, and I try to remember that our success as missionaries isnt measured in ¨how many people we baptize,¨ but in our personal efforts, work, obedience, and conversion. I was called to preach the restored gospel and that is what I will do, its the only thing I can do. I just have to trust in my Heavenly Father and be obedient and work hard and be dilligent, and everything will happen according to His plan and I will return home a successful missionary. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Alma 26:27.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I love you all, until next week,Hermana Steele<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />lo siento, I didnt take pictures this week. </div>

It has begun... Rainy season! Rain rain rain every day for most of the day. But thats okay, at least its not hot. But my feet are wet and theres lots of mud! Sometimes the storms are really bad and we have to go to a members house or we will probably get struck by lightning or drown haha. I love my area it is sooo beautiful.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />We had some cool new investigators this week! yay, we hadnt been getting a lot because I have been so sick, but Im okay now :) man before the mission I neeeever got sick...<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />M is still progressing :) She slept in on Sunday so she didnt make it to church... But she is praying really hard to know if what we are teaching is true. She has changed a lot and commited this week to keep the Word of Wisdom and stop drinking coffee. Her oldest daughter is 12 and is really awesome too, she always reads what we leave but not just once, TWICE so she can understand the chapters really well :D I love this family so much. And they were a reference from a recently returned missionary. Give references!</div>

<b> </b>This family is so awesome, I got to the area and our first day we visited them. They were totally inactive. And now they come to church almost every sunday and the husband recieved a calling on Sunday :)) its a family of 4, the parents and the two sons who are like 9 and 12 I think. He is an ex missionary who got caught up in working on sundays, but he has fixed everything so he and his family can go and keep progressing :)</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32px;">We had a really good lesson with the neighbor and friend of our branch President, J. J. He is really looking for the truth. He told us there is a big empty spot in his heart that he is trying to fill, and we told him that our message, centered in the true gospel of Jesus Christ, will fill it. He has a problem, he works for the _____embassy as a bodyguard. So, he almost never has time. But another job has come up that he might take and we are praying he will take it. It will require sacrifice but he will have more time for his family and he can go to church too. Pray for him! </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32px;">Hna Jimenez and I are really excited to work together.

AHH!! She is a reference from Nicolas, a member who got home from his mission when we got here to Valle. She is a mom of 3, divorced, 34 years old, owns a beauty salon. She is wonderful. She has been to lots of churches, but she feels something else in ours. I am hoping she continues progressing along with her children (8,9,and12 years old). Poco a poco her testimony of the Book of Mormon is growing. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br />

Besides being real sick on thursday. Man I ate something that did NOT agree with me. I havent been that sick (not counting the chikunguya) my whole mission.

Family week! There were activities in the church EVERY night this week, ending with a mini fair on Saturday. we had SEVENTEEN investigators come to the fair!! Nine in church the next day. I wish it was that easy to get them to come to church haha. But it was fun, we even had corndogs :) And fireworks! and facepaint! And cotton candy! </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">We had more problems with Ernesto and Ingrids papers, and so unfortunately they werent able to get married on saturday.

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Hermana Morales and I had a really great week. We have found lots of new people to teach, 17 this week alone. 6 people came to church on sunday that had never gone to church with us before! It was awesome. Our investigators are progressing. Hna Morales is really finishing her mission strong, which is what we all need to do. It will be sad to see her go. The time is passing to fast...</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Oh one of my invesitgators from la Esperanza was baptized this last weekend!!! Fabiola :)) she has 15 years old, she went from telling us </span><i about="" and="" because="" but="" catholic="" church.="" church="" evangelical="" go="" i="" like="" mary.="" more="" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" talk="" the="" they="" to="" virgin="">to being BAPTIZED in our Lords true church. I love how the gospel changes lives. I LOVE IT. The parents of Ingrid are also preparing for their wedding and they will be married and baptized this month!! And Maritza, who was baptized with me and hna Groll last May, is Primary President!!! :D she will go through the temple this month for her endowments too when the temple opens the 18th :))<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />My area is huge. Mountains after mountains. Its beautiful, but its really exhausting. Ive never been so tired in my life. I feel like when I get home I am going to sleep for a solid 3 days. But I know that we are blessed for moving forward and working despite the difficulties. There are people here who need to hear the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I want to talk about Nicolas. Who is Nicolas? He is a missionary who just got home from his mission the day my comp and I were assigned to this area. I have never met someone so truly CONVERTED to the gospel. He is always willing to help us. His testimony is so strong and radiates and he has been taking us to all his friends to teach them. He really had a true conversion on the mission. In contrast, there is a returned sister missionary from the other branch that we share a building (got home the same week as nicolas) with who <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">hides</i> from the missionaries when they want her to visit with them.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I have learned a lot from these two examples. I have learned that I need to work more on my personal conversion so what when I get home, I will be like Nicolas, and not like the other. I need to be more humble. I need to study the Atonement more. I only have 3.5 months left in this country as a full time missionary and I need to step it up. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Theres a difference between being a talented missionary and being a converted, consecrated missionary. You can be both. The second is humble.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I have been thinking a lot about 2 Nephi 4 lately. Its so powerful. Even a strong, righteous prophet of God like Nephi realized he is really nothing, and that we are nothing without God. its really humbling. Please read it - <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"> 16 Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.</b><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></b><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"> 17 Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord, in showing me his great and marvelous works, my heart exclaimeth: O wretched man that I am!

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">My transfers are always so dramatic haha. Once again President called me in for an interview before the transfers meeting. But after the short interview he promised me he wont do it again haha :P</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">So the interview... President tells me he has something special for me. A companion who is ending her mission in six weeks to work to the bone, and an area to open. Not just any area. VALLE DE ANGELES! Its a branch, but a really stong one. This week we has an attendance of 85. So he tells me Im his Go-to Girl and that they need me there. This area has not had sister missionaries for 9+ years. But the elders that have been here the past months have not done what they should, and the area has been suffering. And so they put me in. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">I am here with Hermana Morales from Nicaragua. Its so great having a companion that I already knew, this is my first time. And like I said, she goes home in 5 weeks now. BUT. Shes not baggy (trunky), because we have wayyy too much to do. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Valle de Angeles is HUGE. Im literally in the mountains. Im hiking every day, not joking. This is the area of my DREAMS. It reminds me so much of Oregon. It is so beautiful. Im still a little lost but we will get there :p</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">The members of the church here are SO excited to work. They are throwing references at us. There are tons of returned missionaries too. One got here when we did! This branch is going to grow SO much.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Weve spent the last few days getting to know the area. We had 8 investigators in church on Sunday. It was awesome. Ive never seen so many prepared people to recieve this gospel. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Like I said, this is my dream area. The work here is going to explode. Ive never had so much fun doing missionary work until today. Its so fun. For goodness sakes Im HIKING every day. :D</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Thats all for today :p </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">love, </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">hermanita steele</span>Steelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17555839643569538348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578825538724469756.post-4034899268695789172015-06-01T06:42:00.000-07:002015-06-01T06:47:16.232-07:00Last days in EsperanzaFrom April 13th<br />

OVER ONE THOUSAND PICTURES. .......but my old compañera Hermana Castellanos is a computer geek so she says she might be able to get them back...If not, I will kill all of the elders. Family, be expecting me at home soon........So that was the drama of conference weekend. Im still super mad but hey what can you do. Ill just take more pictures and not a single other soul will EVER TOUCH MY CAMERA AGAIN.So thats my excuse for not sending pictures this week.

Really inspiring messages. Listening to the MoTab made me sooo baggy for singing. I want to sing in choir again. I had to watch conference in Spanish which I was super bummed about but I understood everything so its okay. I just really wanted to hear their voices... Walked into my converts house and she was watching priesthood session with her sons and I SAW THE BYU CHOIRS AHHH MY CHOIR. Then the Zone Leaders call at 8pm telling me to go to the supermarket and buy bread and cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches for the zone. Um okay I can do that. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Sunday - CONFERENCEEEEE. Loved it. PRESIDENT BLUNK GOT CALLED TO BE A 70 THATS CRAZY AWESOME. I made grilled cheese sandwiches for the zone. There were pictures but they dont exist anymore........... aaaand Ingrid got back home! yay! She right now is a little hesitant about getting baptized on Saturday. She knows this is the true church and she knows she wants to get baptized but she isnt sure about when. But we know she will get her answer that she has been praying for. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Today - SLIP N SLIDE BASEBALL WATER BALLOON WAR. enough said. im burned.

It was so beautiful and I took like 3 times as many notes as all the others. Also amazing to hear 3 temples announced, that was unexpected.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><b style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">spiritual thought</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">Something I learned awhile ago but was brought to my memory again this week is how God answers our prayers. There are three ways - He says YesHe says NoHe waits. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">What does He wait for? He waits for US TO ACT. Ingrid right now is waiting for an answer about her baptism this Saturday. I explained this to her because it is something I am very familiar with. When I was praying to decide to go on a mission, I didnt recieve an answer, so I just decided to go. I got my spiritual confirmation when I opened my call. But what would have happened if I had just waited and not done anything? I would never have gotten here. So we are still planning on Saturday for her baptism. We are going to have a total of 5 baptisms in the ward with her on Saturday. It had really been a blessins having the Assistants (APs) in our ward this transfer. The 4 other baptisms that are happening on Saturday are all people I found with my companions. Its really cool to know that I started that process with them and that with the area divide, the Elders finished my work. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">So, my friends and family, if you have been praying for an answer and have not recieved an answer still, what do you think God is waiting for you to do? Are you acting and showing your faith? What more can you do to recieve an answer?</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">I love this work, every moment, and I am learning every day. I loved thinking about my Savior even more on this Easter Sunday. I am so thankful for Him. Because of Him, because He lives, we are NOT LOST AND FALLEN. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">I love you all too!!byeee have a good week</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.4545459747314px;">hermanita steele</span>Steelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17555839643569538348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578825538724469756.post-90034913825462102422015-03-31T21:20:00.003-07:002015-03-31T21:59:49.474-07:0056: Semana SantaFrom March 30th...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Well Semana Santa has started, and since I am in the city, it means that all my investigators leave and go on vacation to their pueblos. Awesome. Its kinda empty here in la Esperanza haha but its okay. Its just for one week. And not EVERYONE has left... :D</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">--I----- and her family haven't left :)) The family -H--- that I talked about last week. --I--- loved church on Sunday again and even went to the conference for women on saturday and a baptism of other missionaries despues. She is praying about her baptismal date of the 11th of April. She has already recieved an answer that the Book of Mormon is true, so thats all good :D she just needs to recieve this answer. I hope I have a baptism before I leave this area again. </span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Because I AM leaving this next change haha. We had interviews with President on Wednesday as a zone and its set. Ill have changes in April. Im super sad to leave here after 6 changes but its time. Im gonna make the best of these 2.5 weeks that I have left here.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">I'm only gonna talk about -I---- today because all the other investigators positives that we have have already left on vacation and yeah its a bummer. --K-- went to the west of Honduras called Ocotepeque. She is so pilas. She took her Book of Mormon and all the pamphlets we give out to people so she can read them all. We found out this week that she is the daughter of pastors. That was a suprise. But she knows she's found the truth haha. She said the other day, I feel like I've planted my feet in something solid. Yes. Yes -K---- yes you have. You've found the truth you've been searching for all your life. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">I've changed a lot over the past 13 months and I will continue changing and progressing throughout my life. Something that has gotten to bug me is when people say things like "You're great, never change!" Excuse me? If I never change why am I here? We are here on this earth to learn, change, progress, repent, become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. If I "never change" I am not fulfilling my purpose here in this earth. </span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Christ said, "What manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am."</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">How are we to become like Our Savior and Redeemer? Repenting every day. Changing our nature to become more like him. More patient, more kind. </span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; line-height: 23px;">Happy Easter Week! Remember the Atonement of our Savior every day. </span></span><br />

We have been blessed with the Hernandez family. I love them so much. In Ojojona (another part of Honduras outside of our mission) the missionaries found her, and she was married and baptized with her husband in June. They were preparing to be sealed in the temple this year when in february, a gang killed her husband, mistaking him for someone else. She moved her to live with her family, and we found her and now she is part of our ward. The wonderful part is, her family. She now lives here with her parents and sister. They ALL came to church on Sunday and the mom and sister (Amalia and Ingrid) came to the temple with us on Saturday and felt the peace that we can only feel there. The parents have to get married but Ingrid is SO ready. We set a date with her for the 11th of April to be baptized. I have faith that this baptism will go through, it will be my last Saturday here in Esperanza...<br />

<div class="missionletters_text">
Let's do this a little differently today....<br /><br />Monday: Went on divisions with members in the ward and had a total of 7 lessons on a monday!! :D it was such a blessing.<br /><br />Tuesday: Went on divisions with the area called 21 de Octubre with Hermana Morales from Nicaragua who is about to end her mission. I served with her in the South and so it was fun to work with her and learn from her :) Met a Returned Missionary who hasn't gone to church in years and his wife of 17 years and their cute baby who looks like a chino. Taught them, invited them to church. Felipe and Amy. Met the zone goal to find a new family to teach before Thursday!<br /><br />Wednesday: Ended divisions and set some baptismal dates with my comp (Hna Garcia) with our most positive investigators. They already fell but that's okay.<br /><br />Thursday: District meeting. All the Elders showed up late, figures. The APs call in the night to tell me that BERTA ACCEPTED A BAPTISMAL DATE FOR THE 11TH OF APRIL AHHHHHHHH<br /><br />Friday: 4 lessons before lunch. :D Started divisions with an area called Girasoles. I went to Girasoles to be with Hna Aldama from Mexico. It was interesting because she was sick. So I spent a lot of time studying Preach My Gospel haha..........<br /><br />Saturday: Spent the morning in divisions helping the hermana find new investigators in a rich neighborhood. Ended divisions, my comp (hna Garcia) tells me that our investigators mom yelled at us to never come back. Awesome! Taught Felipe and Amy about prophets and why they're important. Invited them to church.<br /><br />Sunday: Call everyone to wake them up. No one answers like usual haha. Go to church. Manuel comes! An eternal investigator. Walter gave an awesome talk in church. BOOM FELIPE AND AMY WALK IN. Yes. So happy. They stayed for all 3 hours too. (p.s. theyre already MARRIED :D) Everyone was so happy to see Felipe. Also a family that Hna Castellanos and I found that we had to hand over to the Elders when the area was divided came to church!! all of them!! it was so awesome!! Good things are happening. Dinner in the night with the Martinez family like usual :) Fell out of my chair laughing during daily planning session in the night time with hna Garcia. hehehehe. :D<br />Thats all. This week we are going on divisions to VALLE DE ANGELES wooo. Its colder over there than here in Teguc. Its gettin pretty hot. But Im thankful Im not in the South right now :P<br />Love you all have a good week! Write me a letter!hermanita steele</div>

I figured after 5 changes here in the Esperanza it was time to go. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">The zone leaders call..... </span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Big news, after so much time in this area I was like President this area is too big we need Elders. And so we have Elders now in the ward!! The assistants to the President have taken the big rich neighborhood we had. It'</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">s nice not to worry about it but Im really sad that I now can't visit a lot of the people I loved visiting :( </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Miracles happen. Does anyone remember "B"? I taught her with Hermana Groll, my trainer, at the beginning of my mission. She was super close to being baptized but didn't pass her interview for some little things. Andddd after that she basically fell into apostasy and didn't want anything and wouldn't let us into the house. WELL SHE CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY AND SAYS SHES READY TO CHANGE AGAIN AND COME BACK AND BE BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!! <b>I just died.</b> She walked in and I jumped up and ran to her and gave her a big gringa hug. I am so happy. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Well thats about it. Here are some pictures :D </span><br />

Man we just need some REAL investigators. We do have some that are progressing but not how they need to be. But all on the Lords time. </span><br />

<div class="missionletters_text">
We may no have a lot of success right now as far as baptisms go, but we know the true measure of success is not the number of people in the water. There are so many different things that count success. I know that I am a successful missionary. There are a loooot of things I have to improve, but I know that I try my hardest to do what I am called to do.<br />We have had a lot of members who have been less or inactive come back to church, including Lourdes and Jesus and their family. That one makes me the happiest because they were baptized with me in May :) the bishop is going to give them callings and everything. I am so excited.<br />I dont have a lot to talk about... just livin the mission life and working hard.... ahhh we will find out about transfers today...... I really don't want to leave but I know that President wont leave me here any longer haha 5 transfers here... spread out but still :p I have enjoyed every moment. Ill never love an area like I love it here. Aaaaand no one wants me to leave either haha. But I know that wherever I go is where they need me.<br />HICE TAMALITOS DE FRIJOLES it was so fun<br />thank you family for the package!!! I loved it!!! ahhh those Charleston Chews... so good....... and my camera!! thank you so much!!!<br />problem is with the camera is that the pictures it takes are SOOO AWESOME that they are too big to send normally haha so I will make them smaller to send to youuu :p ......<br />no i give up theyre taking too long to upload so this is the only picture you get byyyye<br /><3 hermanita steele</div>
