Week 93: Flight plans...but not trunky--still hard at work

Written on April 6th, 2015 
 
Hey guys! Loved the pictures you sent me. Well sounds like you guys are having a blast. Anyways for my week-- it was awesome! Wasn’t General Conference so awesome! I hope you guys loved it and enjoyed it as much as I did. I have never felt the spirit so strong in my life. All of my questions as well as questions of many of our investigators and recent converts were answered. I will tell you a little bit more on that. This week as I told you last week, was semana santa or in English, holy week. My area was a ghost town with about everyone gone and at the beaches. Interesting enough, many people we found and taught didn’t understand why semana santa existed. Many just thought it was just a week of vacations and to party. Ironically in one of the most holy weeks of the year might be when most sins are committed. This past week could have been one of the most spiritual weeks of my life. Each and everyday we taught the Atonement of Jesus Christ to every person we saw. Me and my companion learned so much about the Atonement. We felt so close to Christ and to the Holy Ghost this week. 

 

Watching Conference

Anyways, now for our experiences; As I told you many of our investigators were out of town, so we spent a lot of time contacting because many families were all together at home. We found one man that lives close to us, we contacted him and he invited us in. He has been working in the ships and cruise lines and basically knows the whole world. He expressed his interest in the church. We taught him a little and we invited him to the conference. And he went. It was so awesome!

One of our recent converts has been having a lot of doubts lately. He saw some anti-mormon material and it created a lot of doubts in him about the Book of Mormon. He decided to go to conference and all of his questions were answered and all of his doubts taken away. He came away very impressed by the conference. He now wants to go to the temple!

I don’t know if I have told you about another lady in our area. She has been inactive for a long part of her life. But about 2 months her husband left her and their 2-year-old girl and took everything from the house. In the midst of this huge trial she turned to God for strength. For many days she struggled with sleeping because her husband had ruined some of the doors in her house. She began to study the scriptures, pray and attend church and her fears have gone away. Peace has replaced discomfort. A broken down and abandoned house has turned into a place of love and safety. She has turned into a completely different person with hope for the future; All because she started again with the little things. Truly those that keep the commandments are blessed in all things. After that many people have reached out to her and have helped her get food, repair her house, and help her replace many of the stolen things. 

We love it out here. Even though you guys are in Hawaii, I don’t think there would be another place that I would rather be than here in Honduras serving others. This has been the far best decision I have made in my life. Thanks guys for your support. I did take pictures so I will be sending them right now. 

Love Elder Neuberger

I went to lunch with these amazing missionary moms on April 2nd.  4 of us get our missionaries home on June 11th. We did receive flight plans and we are trying to not get trunky.

 

After p-day this week, Sis. Klein posted this sweet picture of Elder Neuberger and other missionaries that their moms went to lunch with me.  Such a tender mercy:)
