Its good to hear how the family is doing. I miss you guys a ton! I miss spending time with you, but I know this is where I'm supposed to be.
This week wasn't too exciting. We've been searching for people to teach, and there hasn't been too much success, but hopefully things will change soon. We're working our butts off, and I know the Lord will bless us.
We're having a barbeque later today, and I'm excited to eat some grub! Woo hoo!
I don't have anymore time to write. Sorry Tanner, Jared and Tyler, I'll write you guys next week. I love you all, and I really really really enjoy hearing about your lives. They are such much more exciting than my simple life of being a missionary. Keep being awesome, and know that I love you all.

The Simple Life
The mission president has cut back the computer time from one hour to 30 minutes. This week's news was short and sweet.

La Grippe
Brett has been struggling with sickness this week. Here is the latest:
So I'm in Cerro Grande. Its on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa. I thought I wrote this last week, but I guess it didn't send. My companion is Elder Luna from El Salvador. He is super energetic and a little immature, but very focused and obedient. We work really hard here. There hasn't been much success here, but we're working on fixing that. As far as this week goes, we had a baptism this past weekend. Her name is Xochilt, and she is 10 years old. She is the niece of an inactive bishop we've been trying to reactivate. So we got a baptism and a reactivation at the same time. It was really sweet, especially since the Bishopric told us that it would be impossible to get the inactive bishop to come back. HA! Nothing is impossible my friends, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't.
So this weekend has been one of the hardest in the mission. I've come down with what the people call la grippe aka the flu. So yeah, I don't remember it being this painful when I had it back in the states. My whole body ached, and my fever was pretty ridiculously high. I probably went to the bathroom 30 times, no lie. We took the day off yesterday, and that was the hardest decision I've had to make. The flesh is weak, but my spirit is strong. I want to work! But anyways, I'm feeling less lousy, and I'm going to see how today goes. I'm grateful for the opportunity it gave me to be more humble and prayerful, but I feel like I learned my lesson and its time to feel good again. Anyways, any extra prayers would be appreciated.
I love you guys. You are the best.
