Editors note: Elder Moulton wasn't able to upload any pictures or respond to emails this week as the internet connection wasn't good. Fingers crossed for good internet next week! I am including a couple of pictures he uploaded last week.
Week two down and my pupusa count has already hit triple digits. Possibly more, its hard to keep track. I´ve only had to eat chicken feet once tho, maybe twice’-it was suspect. Things are going good here in Texacuangos tho, there are random rainstorms almost daily that are stronger than anything I´ve ever seen. Poco a poco. We even had a couple people on the street guess that I was Hispanic. Most guessed Canadian but hey I´ll take what I can get. Most of our appointments kind of fell through this week and some of our best investigators and families are really struggling right now, its hard to see. That being said we meet some amazing people this week and have super high hopes. Got to go on 2 exchanges (where we swap areas-companions for a day) and had a blast. At one point me and a missionary I barely know got lost on a dirt road in the jungle for a while and if it wasn´t for his flashlight we would´ve stepped on a snake. But it all worked out, we ended up at the pupuseria.
A scripture that I´ve really focused on this week, and one that we´ve shared A LOT is
Santiago 2:17 (James 2:17)
"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone"
Action is the key to progression, and while belief is great and powerful, it can´t do much unless we act on it. Blessings are there for us to receive, we just gotta do our part and go get them.
That being said I wanna close with a short story that explains how awesome the people are here. We went out to help a sick member on Thursday and we went with two members of the branch. We went in a truck with only two seats and the rule is missionaries can´t sit in the back. So without saying a word, one of the members, a 70 year old man with only one leg, hobbles out of the cab and pulls himself into the bed where he rode it out for the 2 hour round trip
(in the dark and cold). I´ve only been here for 2 weeks but already I have seen so many examples of humility and strength and I feel so incredibly blessed to have the life that I do.
Thank you so much for your support and love.
Elder Moulton
