Hey everyone!

Its been a good week here in Santa Rosa :) It was starting to get warm, but the past few days its been super cold. But besides having to bathe with cold water, I don't mind Its SO much better than the heat of San Pedro...

All went well with Karen getting baptized! Her dad, who just got baptized almost a year ago, was able to baptize her so that was really special.

We talked to our mission president about Antonio and he told us that he has to finish his parol before he can be baptized...so he has to wait until July. We were kinda bummed but I know that he will be super prepared and have a strong testimony of the gospel. We told him and he was okay with it too :) He is going to help so many people!

We have an investigator named Hilda who is super awesome and has a great desire to learn and go to church, but she can't because of her husband. He doesn't let her go to church(or leave the house for that matter) and he trests her super bad and doesn't respect her at all. She went with us to a little activity that we had with the Relief Society president and she was super happy and loved it, but when she got home he got super mad at her. It is so sad...we have been praying for her a ton and are hoping that things will get better, but we will see. Please pray for her...

Thats all! I hope you all have a great week!

Hi everyone!

Things are going well here in Santa Rosa...Im enjoying the cool weather and trying to get to know the area and the people more. For the first time in my mission on Wednesday another elder and I gave an english class...it was super fun. We also started doing an activity every Saturday to help teach the members how to be missionaries and share the gospel...so far its been going well.

Antonio is doing super great...he was going to get baptized this past week but when we were reviewing the baptismal questions we realized he needed an interview with our mission president...so we are just waiting to see when he can come and interview him. Antonio was a little bummed at first but he has been doing great and reading a ton in the book of mormon and the liahona.

We also have an investigator named Karen that is going to get baptized this Saturday. Her dad got baptized almost a year ago and her sister about a month ago, so we are just working through the family :) At first she wasnt so sure if she wanted to get baptized but we asked her to pray about it and the next time we went she told us she wanted to get baptized :) Hopefully all will go well!

Really I love this area a ton...I only have two weeks here but I feel like in these two weeks I have grown and changed a ton...I cant wait to see what else is in store for me!

Have a great week!

I am in COPAN!

Hermana Whittle and her companion went hiking with the elders last week .

Hi everyone!

So I had transfers this past week! I finally left San Pedro and I am in Copan!

Im in a city called Santa Rosa de Copan...it is sooooo beautiful here! All the streets are cobblestone streets and are super narrow with narrow sidewalks and a ton of shops and there are a ton of inclines...im going to build some nice leg muscles here :) And the best part is that is actually cold here!!! I really do love it. My companion is Hermana Luna. She is from Bolivia and she also came to Honduras with me and was in my same zone before so I already knew her.

Things are going well! I am still trying to get to know everything and learn the area but Im getting there! We are in a branch here so there arent a ton of members but we are working on that!

We have a couple of investigators that are doing awesome. One is named Antonio. He is an older man whose sister is a member. He has been having some problems with quitting drinking coffee but he told us that one morning this week he woke up and had coffee and he was sick the whole day afterwards...so now he doesnt have the desire to drink it :) Miracles happen!

On Saturday we had interviews with President and it went well! He gave me the advice to look for ways every day to bless the lives of others...whether it be the members or my companion or investigators. I hope we can all think about and look for ways to serve and bless the lives of others everyday....that way we will be able to see God work through us and we will be happier :)

Oh, I also learned how to grind corn with a stone and make tortillas this week...it was sweet.

I hope you are all doing well! Have a great week!
