It's almost Christmas!!

Hey Everyone I hope that you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Mine was
pretty good, I didn't get to eat good food or be with family but I
still enjoyed it :)
So we had 3 baptisms planned for this last Saturday, but they fell
through. We were going to baptize a Single mother, Vanesa, and her two
kids, Katarine and Linardo. The stake invited Katarine to there Youth
conference so she wasn't home Saturday. We will Baptize them in a week
no worries :)
Our landlord sold our house to a lady that is going to move in
January. We have to find a house in a month and move, I'm not too
exctied about that haha. Maybe we will get a better house??
So this month has been pretty crazy with money and emergency
changes. I had to lend my companion Elder Beltran like 50 bucks at the
beginning of the month because he didn't have his credit card yet. The
office told me they would reimburse me like a week later. 5 weeks
later I finally got my money. On top of that I had to pay like 15
bucks (that's a lot of money here) for taxis because I had to change
areas suddenly. So I honestly don't have any money haha. Today we didn't
have enough money to pay a taxi to get to the Stake center. The taxi
is only 12 lempiras each person, or like 70 cents. My companion didn't
have anything and I had 20 lempiras. We live across the street from a
pawn shop so this morning to get money I tried to pawn my disc man.
The guy told us that he would only take a Digital Camera. So I told
him that we only needed 4 lempiras or like 5 cents for the taxi. He was
like "o no worries here take this" and handed us 4 lempiras hahaha. It
was kinda weird but here I am writing you all!
Life is still good, a bit stressful but I'm good. I'm excited for
Christmas, I have the goal to baptize two families by the end of the
year. Its the only thing I want for Christmas haha.
I love you all, thanks for the prayers!!!

hola de Honduras!

Hey Everyone! So my new area is great, Its really nice, like upper middle class of Honduras. Right now we have eight baptism dates for the 26th of this month. Happy Thanksgiving right haha. The sad part is that all of them are single mothers with there children. There just aren't many good Fathers here, but that's why I'm here as a missionary, to fix that right.
My companion Elder Rivas is great. We have about the same amount of time on the mission, and he is also the oldest child of the family, so we get along really well. He is from El Salvador. He is the only boy in his family and he has worked in his families bakery for pretty much his whole life. I feel like we will have a lot of success here together.
I love you all so much!!!
take care!!

Changes!!

So this week was pretty nuts. Tuesday I had changes with the zone
leaders. After one of the best days of work that I have ever had in
the Villeda Morales, the assistants called me that night at 10 and told
me that I was changing areas. I didn't do anything wrong haha no
worries, some elders got sent home for some things, and now I'm in one
of there areas. My new area is called Boulevard or Centro America
Oeste. Its in the same zone as my first area San Rafael. In Three
weeks I have been part of 2 emergency changes haha, what did I do to
deserve this?
Things here in Boulevard are good. The house is really nice with hot
water and running water. The ward here is really nice, and big. They
want to do a lot of baptizing which is good. Ill keep you posted on
the next few weeks, cause i only have 4 days in this area.
I am doing well, my Spanish is solid. I can understand almost
everything. I am a bit stressed, but what missionary isn't haha. Take
care!
Love Elder Ahlborn
