Um...Kind of a really really good interesting week. Also long...Okay, just read the email.

Well hey everybody!!!

It has been a really really interesting week with stories that very few missionaries will have to tell.  So... Let's do this.

Tuesday:

Normal day.  Mostly.  A family that we love A LOT made us (Naupoto and I) a freaking mini gift basket filled with chocolate and love.  The outside of mine is all decorated with a guitar....  And it looked oddly familiar... Come to find, they found my facebook and made the guitar look exactly like my baby back home.  Also, they made a necklace with a guitar with (are you ready?) FIVE POINTS, in the shape of a STAR.  Yeah.  This family is awesome. (Family Raudales - they kind of make me emotional.)  

Also, we established that our investigator H. was going to be baptized in Comayagua, but all the paper work was gonna stay here.  So... Win both ways.  Kind of sad that we weren't able to be there with her....

Wednesday:

Interviews with President - every three months-ish.  So....  We went in, had interviews, and... it was great!!!  

And, as we were leaving, President asked if we could find out exactly where H. was going to be baptized (cuz we both talked about her a little in our interviews).  Kind of weird that he wanted to know... But, hey.  He's the President.  We defintely wondered why and if anything was going to become of it....

Thursday:

Another pretty normal day.  We had H.'s batpismal interview, and she is good to GO.  Also, we cleaned the pila in our church for another baptism.  And.... It kind of turned into a water fight with a couple kids that were helping us.  Unintentional, I swear.... But hey....  Two years without swimming?  You gotta take your chances.....  

Later that day, we got a call from the office Elders.  Friday was my migration day....  So.... Plan on finsihing up my citizenship of Honduras in the morning.

Also, nothing more said about questions from President.  He probably just wanted to make sure she was actually going to be baptized.  I suppose....

Friday:

So... Migration.  I got to see a whole bunch of my fellow Elders that have the same time as me, which was cool.  But.... Migration kind of went down like this....  

Imagine going to the DMV.

...That is literally all I have to say.  We were there from like, 10:00 in the morning to like, 4:30 in the evening.  It was a whole lot of nothing.  Unless sitting counts as something.  Then, it was a whole lot of sitting.  .... And that's all.

LATER THAT DAY.....

'.....  Why is President calling us, dude?'

.....FLASHFORWARD.....

'..... Um....  So.... President just told me....He wants to take us up to Comayagua tomorrow.  For H.'s baptism.  Himself.  Alone with us and Hermana Bowler.'

'..... Is that a normal thing to do?'

'No.  No, it is not....  so.... I guess...Road trip with the Mission President?'

Saturday:

Road Trip with Our MISSION PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE.  Comayagua is like, 2 hours away.  And.... He and his wife personally, alone with Elder Naupoto and I, took us up to comayagua for H.'s baptism.  It was like, bonding time with them.  And get this....  PRESIDENT HIMSELF CONFIRMED HER.  IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN THAT A MISSIONARY CAN SAY HIS MISSION PRESIDENT CONFIRMED ONE OF THEIR CONVERTS.  IT WAS AWESOME.  AND THEN AFTERWARDS HE BOUGHT US DINNER.  LIKE.... WE LITERALLY SPENT THE WHOLE DAY WITH PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE.  That is NOT a normal thing to do.  Our mission president is AWESOME.  I could go on about this for a while.... but... you'd have to be there to really appreciate it.  wow.  It was fantastic.  

Sunday:

Pretty normal Sunday.  Nothing else special to report.  Elder Naupoto and I still couldn't believe that what happened the day before actually happened.  That was awesome.  

And.... Now we're here.  Not much more I can tell you guys!!!  Only that Heydi has successfully entered the church.  pretty fantastic, right?  Yeah.... We think so.  

Well, that's about it.  And, I know I said I'd explain why I chose Demons as the song of the week last week.... But.... I'm gonna push that one week more.  Love you guys.  Stay strong, firm in the faith, and pray always.  Thanks to everyone that wrote me (Ana, Alfredo, Nicolle, Idania, Megan, Landen, Blythe, Scott, Nanny, Jose, Lizzie, Donny, Mariah).... you are all fantastic.  Talk to you soon.

Song of the Week - No One is Alone from Into the Woods

Yeah, I don't Have a Clever Name for This One

Well hi everybody.

I once heard it said that the mission works like this....  

'The days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days.'  

And... Yeah.  Pretty much.  Time is flying, although the days are LONG..... But hey, I don't notice when I'm working. Once in a while, I'll just take a step back, and be like.... Whoa.  I've been here for 7 and a half months.  How did that happen?  Then it'll be midday, and it's hot as the devil, and I think to myself.... Actually.... Maybe that sounds about right.  BUT, either way.  I freaking love it here.  Thanks to everyone that sent me an email this week, like Christie, and Joy, and Blythe, and Steph (I'm so proud of you, girl.  Way to go.), and Cristina, and Emma-Lee, and Scott (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EMAILING ME), and all the fam.  I love you all dearly, and I am always grateful for your messages.  

Hmm....  Where do I take this week's letter..... Well, actually, there are a couple things I wanted to tell everybody about.  Let's start with some of the people (investigators) I'm working with right now.  Guys.... they're freaking wonderful.

He:  This woman is the BOMB.  She was actually taught by missionaries in another mission in Honduras, and dang, they prepared her well.  She is an incredible person with an incredible testimony.  We've only been here to help tie things up, but she has become a dear friend of mine. We had some confusion about paperwork, but.... now, pretty much everything is set up for her to enter the church.  Really, she did it all on her own.  She's truly just a good person.

Cr:  Well, she is probably one of my most favorite persons in the world (I am really sorry if that sentence was super badly worded.  Spanish n stuff.)  Get this....  She's like 60.  We taught her grandson once, and gave him a little card with a picture of Jesus and our phone number.  We never saw him again.  

Then, one day, as we were walking, we get this call.  This woman on the other line goes, 'hey, you guys are the Elders, right?  Well, I have no idea what the word Elder means, but your phone number was on the back of a Jesus picture, so you've got to be doing something that includes Jesus.  Could you come and visit me?'  

And.... she has turned out to be one of the kindest, sincerest, most LOVING people I have ever met.  She's like our grandma.  She gives us food, never wants us to leave, she listens so intently and really applies everything we teach and invite her to do, and BAHHHH.  This woman is amazing.  

(Also, super fast funny story.  She told us she was gonna come to church with us, but she's just scared cuz she has bad knees.  So... We told her we would get her a car.  Well.... Our 'car' freaking bailed on us.  And.... SHE CAME ANYWAY.  She walked like a mile and a half, up and down hills, all that JUST cuz she said 'I need to know for myself if it's the true church.'  And... She did.  Then, in the class of investigators, she offered to say the last prayer.  She probably prayed for like, seven minutes, due to the fact she was having a lovely conversation with Heavenly Father about her Catholic husband.  The best part went something like this:  'Oh, Father.... Also bless my husband.  He didn't come today to church.  Well, he actually doesn't like going to church a lot.  You see, God, he's catholic.  And so, sometimes he goes to church.  When he feels like it.  He's really a good guy, he just doesn't like to listen to the missionaries and that's why he's not here today.  But look, I'll keep talking to him about it.  You know, his parents were actually catholic too, and I think he really just wants to please his mom still, cuz she was a VERY strict woman.... But she was a good person too, Father, and....'  Etc..... you get the idea.  It was fantastic.)

Ci:  She is a poorer young woman, but also a very kind, sincere person.  She picks up the concepts SUPER well, but when we ask her to repeat some things, she kind of spazzes out and can't remember.  But she has the desire to follow Christ, so we try to help her be able to do so.  She has a little baby that's like, 3, named An who is pretty much that.  Except when he screams.  Cuz man.... He screams LOUD.  She's really sweet though.  

Do:  A young 9 year old who is just bursting with joy and energy.  Her family are members, but a bit inactive....  But they are some of the coolest people.  There's like five kids in the family, so we always teach all of them together.  We have SO much fun teaching kids..... It's a different world.  :D:D:D  But they're great, and Do is such a cute little girl.  We always teach with the grandma, who is SO funny, and SO tired after watching 5 little kids all day every day - We love them dearly. 

La and Ab:  This couple is just funny.  They are interested, and they love to listen, but they often don't seem like they plan on following our invitations.... But, they always tell us to come back. They always give us food, and they both speak english too.  They love metal (like Korn, or Metallica, or other death metal.....)  and they both love comic books.  They're super great people.  

Well, there are a lot more, but..... Those are a few for this week.  I'll tell you all about some other people next week.  But really my time is short.... So....  I think I'm gonna leave it there.

I also had the opportunity to take my investigators to the temple this week:  Cr, He, as well as another family of less active members.  I'll tell you their story soon.

One last thing....  I was prepared to write a long, heartfelt letter about fathers today....  Cuz this week was Father's Day.... Except it wasn't.  That was just here.  Sorry Dad, big long thank you letter is gonna have to wait until June.  Or something like that.  Oh Honduras..... Why do you have all the dates of stuff wrong?  Or maybe that's just me....

Well, love you guys!  Talk to you all soon!

One More Week

Hey guys!!!

Well, it's kind of that week again where I don't have much to report, and so I'll make a better letter next week.  For this week, I want to use it to send more personal emails....  So.....  Nothing to profound for now.  I got sick this week, and that put me out of work a bit, but I'm better and I hope to have some better stories in the coming days.  Love you guys!!!

Every Day Life in Teguc

Hey everybody.  

It has been a short week with super long days here in Teguc, and I have some stories to tell... They're pretty exciting.

First, CONGRATS TO THE SOON-TO-BE MISSIONARIES.  Austin, Kevin, you guys are gonna teach like crazy.  I can't wait to hear your stories and such from other parts of the world.  I LOVE you guys and I am so proud of you.  (And Austin, I remember that one time we were talking about the church and you kept telling me that the authority is what makes us different, and for some reason I thought it was something else and kept contradicting you....  I was totally wrong.  You were totally right. I am super sorry for that.  You're gonna make a freaking killer missionary cuz you already understand the basics.  Ladies and gents, this guy knows what's up.)

Thanks to everyone else that wrote, I love you guys and I know you're gonna do great things.  Good luck to the cast of Hello Dolly! and know that I am supporting you here in spirit!  KILL IT AND SHATTER SOME FEMURS!

Now.... Onto the stories. 

STORY OF TUESDAY

'Hey, Elder Huff and Naupoto!  Neither of you guys have changes.  You got another 6 weeks together.  Also, do you wanna take out some new missionaries fresh out of the MTC?'

'Hey Huff, Wanna go take out new missionaries?'

'Sure, I'm down.  And hey, did you know that Pitbull is coming to Honduras?'

.... FLASHFORWARD.....

We enter the church building to see a group of bright eyed new missionaries, looking scared but determined.  I go up to the AP and ask who I'm taking out to show the ropes of the mish - he points me to a tall gringo named Elder Rex.  Now...  I could have just been straight up and told this brand new Elder that I'm a gringo too....  But.... I have dark hair.  And....  The AP told me we have to speak spanish.  So....  I walk up to him, shake his hand, and introduce myself.

'Hey Elder, mucho gusto.  Soy el Elder Huff, y soy de.... Costa Rica.'

(tranlsated) 'Hey, nice to meet you Elder.  I'm Elder Huff and I'm actually from the United States but I'm not gonna tell you that so I'm gonna say I'm from Costa Rica and I'm not gonna say a word in english to you the entire time we're together.'

And... So it passed.  I am not by ANY means saying that I have perfect Spanish, but I took this Elder out and hardly spoke ANY english to him.  I made him teach in Spanish, also.  And PROPS to him, cuz he totally handled it great and went all out teaching in Spanish.  But for the hour we were together, I was from Costa Rica and had super terrible english.  And....  When we finished, he was doing his best to talk in straight spansih to me (WAY TO GO DUDE).  And.... Then.... As we said our goodbyes....

'Elder Rex, ha sido un placer.  Gracias por todo.  And, by the way, I'm actually from Utah and I am pretty sure I speak better english than spanish.'

The look on his face was priceless....  I hope we get to work together again soon.

....FLASHFORWARD.....

'What is the world is going on in the Villa Olimpica?  They're setting up all these big lights and stuff.... Huh.  We'll see, I guess.'

STORY OF WEDNESDAY

'Hey, good morning Elder Huff.  This is Elder Webb.  And I'm going home tomorrow.'

... Yeah.  Elder Webb is home.  I hope you have a great life, Donny.  I'll be expecting that list. I love you and stuff. Also, I don't think I talk like a caveman anymore.

...FLASHFORWARD....

'Okay, seriously. What is freaking going on in the Villa Olimpica?  Sigh.... We'll see.'

.....FLASHFORWARD....

Now, here we are walking back from work, when we enter our main street to see half of Honduras parked on the sides of the road.  I'm talking millions of people.  Elder Naupoto and I were super confused.... Then it dawned on us....  Or, more, the bass hit us.... Across the steert from where we live, in plain sight, we hear the oddly familiar lyrics of one of the most famous pop singers of today..... 

'One, two, three, four, uno, dos, tres, cuatro.... I KNOW YOU WANT ME....'

'HOLY CRAP PITBULL IS HERE IN OUR AREA PERFORMING RIGHT NOW.'

And.... Yep.  I unintentionally went to a Pitbull concert whilst on my mission.  He literally was right down the street from our house.  We were afraid we'd be up all night.... But oddly enough... the concert was like 40 minutes.  Then he left.  

..... Well....  That's not something that happens every day.  But in Teguc.... Totally.  

Anyway.... Those are some of the most interesting stories of this week.  I hope you have a great week, everybody.  Next week I'll tell you about some of the people we have been teaching.  I'm always here for you guys.

Talk next week.

Elder Huff

ALSO.... Song of the Week....  Well, it's only fair.... I Know You Want Me, Pitbull.  Have a good one, everybody.

That was Fast...

Well... Here we are.  Another week gone.  Wow they are going fast now.  Shoutouts.....  Ana, Jessi, Joy, Mariah and Donny, Landen, Lizzie, Blythe, Ellie, Alexa, Tyler, Family..... I love you guys.  Thanks for the messages, as always.

Well.... This Saturday I will have 7 months in the mission.  That is insane.  I don't have a lot of comment there.

Also.... This week was awesome, but nothing out of the ordinary.  I mean.... We did light our apartment on fire...  But that was about it.  Nothing too exciting.  

Poor plate.....

Now, for the thought of the week.... I'm gonna be honest, writing something big every week is exhausting, so my letters may be smaller in the coming months just for cause of... Well....  There is not a ton to report.  There are always hundreds of stories to tell.... But....  They won't be anything new to you guys.  :)  So, when I send big emails, it is because I have something I really feel I need to say.  

With THAT said.... I only have one hint of advice for everyone back home. I won't write much, because I think that the message is VERY self-explanatory. 

Don't talk bad about anyone.  

Like, seriously.  If I've learned anything on my mission, it's how perfect I'm NOT. And so.... I always recall the saying of Jesus.... 

'Let he that is without sin cast the first stone.' 

There is never a reason to talk bad about people.  There just is not!  From the bottom of my heart, with total sincerity, just don't do that!  If you hear it, step in!  Stop it!  If you're doing it,  STOP IT!  

I'm serious, the hardest truth I've learned on the mission, is what goes around, comes around.  To be totally frank, none of you that are currently reading this have the right to talk bad about someone else for ANY reason.  And why do I say that?  Look at it this way, what is it that Christ taught are the first and greatest commandments?  LOVE THY GOD AND LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.  IT IS A COMMANDMENT.  Gossip is pure evil!  It hurts poeple so deeply!  It breaks my heart, but I know of more people that are inactive in my ward here is Honduras by cause of a stupid, rude, unnecessary comment than ANY other given reason.  Please, this is absolute POISON in today's society.  Gossip is POISON to the Spirit and Soul!

So Please... Don't Do That.  Be BETTER than that. Build others up.  I love you, and I really want the best for each and every one of you.  Help make the world a little bit better.  I'm always here for you guys.

Thoughts on a Broken Heart

Hey everybody!!! 

It is a BEAUTIFUL day here in Tegucigalpa Honduras, and I am here to bring you a special message.  But first.... Shoutouts, as always.  Lara, Kailey, Khiabethamente, Mariah and Donny, Lizzie, Jose, Emma-Lee, Sabrina, Crys, Alexa, Joy....   I love you all dearly, as always, and if you ever need advice or love or whatever... Well... I'm in Honduras.  But I can try. :D

Now, onto the email.... As I'm sure you've read from my other emails, life in Teguc is a bit hard.  And as I said last week, I wanted to compare a bit about God and the world and religion and stuff.... So... Here it goes.

Any of you that knew me before the mission knows that I believe that a big part of who we are stems from the experiences we've had in which we were broken and left to fight on our own - and thus we 'become' based on the fights we've come out of (notice that I don't say the fights we've 'won' or 'lost' - winning or losing in these situations strictly depends on your own perspective).  

As I've been living in Honduras, I've come to believe that even more so.  So, my first question is, is WHY do we allow the 'hard' moments to shape us?  Whenever we're getting close to someone, I've noticed that a 'breaking' point in the friendship is when you come out and tell your 'history' or your 'dark side'....  When you reveal the hard parts of who you are and the journey you took to get there.  It's always a gamble, because when you do so, you are putting the most sensitive parts of you out in the open.... Acceptance means deep trust, rejection means salt in an open wound.

And what is really interesting, is that EVERYTHING we do is an outward expression of an inward root - and we have a million subconcious 'expressions' in which we show who we have become every day.

But although I could talk about all of our little habits and the root of them for pages, I really want to get to this idea - we cannot comprehendall that we do and why, and so to help us with that.... We place 'labels' on ourselves. We also do this same thing with other people - categorizing is easier than trying to understand everyone we meet individually.  We do this with 'friend circles,' ranging from best friends to close friends to friends in general, to the everyday cliques we see in school and the workplace, such as suck-ups, burnouts, flirts, jocks, artsy people, etc...  Now, life in Honduras is no exception.  But the 'labels' that we see are a bit different than the ones you live with - and the labels we have for people were not given by US....  But by the people themselves.  And they will defend this 'label' LITERALLY to the death, even if they don't fully comprehend the reason why.... 

They call these labels 'religion'.  

Now, there are HUGE classes of religions here in Honduras, ranging from the largest denominations (such as Catholicism, Evangelists and Jehovah's Witnesses) to a HUGE variety of mini congregations that claim to be part of bigger ones.  All in all... These people are wonderful people, intelligent, loving, willing to help....  and every one, regardless of the religion, will agree that they are focused on the same basic principles of Love, Acceptance, Kindness and other Christlike attributes.  They are all willing to help one another (at least in principle) regardless of the past you express, as I mentioned before.

That is, at least, until you are wearing a plaque representing another religion.

Despite the profound connections that all these people share in general, once you put one 'label' against another, the love ceases and all that occurs on both sides is varying degrees of defensiveness.  Any sign of general acceptance is GONE.  When you put one set of ideals against another, the love turns to war.  We have been the victims of such wars before, being yelled at, spit at and ridiculed in the streets for being 'Mormons.'

But WHY?  Are we not all trying to reach, technically, the same goal?  Why then, are all denominations so at odds with one another?  

Now, I'm sure that there are many of you who are saying to yourselves right now, 'well yeah!  I mean, I would do that if I was talking to someone of another religion.  It would be EASY to just accept them, right?' 

Well, I thought the same thing.  And it IS easy, at first.  But I started understanding a bit more when I bore my sincere testimony to a stern member of another denomination.  I expressed my sincere desire to help people and help them come to a knowledge of the truth that we believe we have - is there anything wrong in that?  Most would say no.  But this woman thought differently.  She responded in something to this extent:

'If all you want to do is 'help' people, then why would you go around trying to convert people to YOUR beliefs, when we've lived by OUR beliefs for generations?  What about our experiences?  WE are who WE are by what we have come to believe.  What about our families that lived and died for these beliefs?  By being here, you are discrediting all that they were, by walking around saying that you have a higher knowledge, and that is NOT helping anyone.'

What would you say to that?  

Thus... I come to the center of this email.  These are my thoughts on a broken heart - if someone comes to you and tells you that WHO YOU ARE is wrong...  That ALL you believe and ALL you've become was for not.... What do you say?  Obviously that is not our goal as missionaries, but all too often, that is what they hear.  If you walk into ANY given room full of a certain religion, they are going to talk a bit liberally, correctly?  For example.... How many of you, when surrounded by a large group of Mormons, have proudly announced 'Well hey, WE have the right religion ANYWAY right??  WE know the full truth.'   

I know I have.  But it would be a bit different if you were the only Mormon in the room right?  You wouldn't THINK differently.... But you definitely wouldn't be quick to denounce the beliefs of hundreds of others either.  Take that a step further, and imagine if you were trying to defend a belief in God Himself against a room full of professed athiests.  Even though YOU KNOW it is true, your voice would be lost in the war of comebacks, telling you that there is NO way you can prove there is a God.

So here is the Big Dilemma....  Every one who belongs to a given religion by choice stands as firmly there as we do where we stand.  And, even if we come to 'agree to disagree', there are fundamental beliefs that we won't be able to bring to harmony.  The same applies to any deciding difference in people, be it religion, political party, family ties, choice of friends, among hundreds of others.  They all stem from our inward roots... And who can deny the center of who we are?

So now.... In this unsolvable problem....  I want to tell you why I'm serving a mission.

Based on the choices I've made and the situations I've been placed in in my life, I've also developed my own 'roots' - many of which stem to the same basic principles of Love and Acceptance.  Those principles are what I crave and what I LOVE to give.  They are, in many ways, part of me (of course, I am far from perfect in application....  But they are what I aim for, at very least).

But, during my life, and especially during this mission... I've come to a realization.  

I Am Not Perfect.  

The experiences I've had make me biased.  The past I've lived make me prefer one kind of person as a close friend as opposed to another.  The life I want makes it so that I would accpet everyone - but I'd be quicker to accept 'one' kind of person as a partner than another.  In other words.... Although I am who I am by cause of what my 'broken heart' has given me, I cannot say that: 

'Therefore, all that I have come to believe is correct, and therefore... My basic 'labels' are correct as well.' 

But if that's the case....  Why am I a missionary?  

Well....  The answer I have for this question is the same I have for the 'unanswerable' question I gave earlier in the message.   

A Broken Heart.  

But... Not mine.

Christ came to the world in the most humble of circumstances, and He spent His whole life teaching what is generally accepted as 'the truth'... And yet He was rejected.  And yet despite the fact He knew He would be rejected, he willingly gave His precious life for us - who today dispute over who knows Him the best.  Isn't this kind of missing the point?  I am a missionary, because I do not only believe, but I KNOW that this is His Church.

But that's not all.  I am here, because I have humbled myself and recognized that my understands are not perfect... And therefore.... I needed guidance from someone who had an understanding higher than my own.  So, I kneeled before my Father in Heaven, and I asked and PLEADED to know what was the path that HE wanted for me.  And I recieved my answer.  

And THAT... That is something that no one can deny.  Because above all.... I KNOW that He wants to help us.  And if that is the case....  If we deny His help because 'we already know and we ARE who we ARE...'  Who's heart is truly broken?

And finally....  Why am I a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints specifically?  In addition to the answer I recieved to my prayers.... There's a book that I've read.  They call it Another Testament of Jesus Christ.  And if I want to depend on He who had a perfect broken heart....  Why should I not read a book that claims to be a testament of Him?  And not only that... If this book is true.... We can come to know for ourselves what 'religion' is His.  

You all know what book this is.  And, if you want to know why I am representing this church right now....  You're going to have to read this book and ask Him who cannot lie if it's true. 

I could lie.  I'm not perfect.

But He won't.  

Please.... Read this book.  If you do, you will know how to love with a love more pure than the love we've learned from our own lives... We can learn to love with God's love.  Pray about it.  He'll answer.

Congratulations Sister Belkis Gonzalez

I know that if we were to humble ourselves and be willing to listen, we would be able to conquer the unanswerable question... And why?  Because we wouldn't be following our own broken hearts.... But we would be trusting in someone who can heal them.

I am also grateful to say that another wonderful woman has come to know for herself that this book and Church are true....  Belkis Gonzalez was baptized yesterday by someone that is like a father to her.  Congratulations to her.  She is the happiest she's ever been, in her own words.

I Love You All.  My prayer is that we can find peace....  And I know that we can do so if we would only be willing to give ourselves to Him.  Just try.  Come and See.
