I don't know why this ancient computer keeps posting before I am through.
It is so annoying. I never did finish off my last week in potrerillos. Notonly did we have a great baptism for Antonio, we also had a fabulous
church meeting with the dedication of the new chapel The chapel was
filled with 100 extra chairs in the back to accommodate the dental and
medical group from Utah, Smiles for Honduras. The area presidency was
there from Guatemala, three general authorities. They were all very
dynamic speakers. Met a couple from the states that are serving a mission.
Their mission is church security in Central America. The church only
has security in 3 or 4 places in the world, and this is one of them.
the area president's name is Elder Clark. he gave the last talked and
really wowed everyone. very spiritual but very humorous. he sort of
danced down the aisle as he left. he went right by me and i found
myself reaching out my hand to him. my deaf friend bralin was right
across the way. i heard myself introduce myself to president clark and
point to bralin. i told him i was trying to get help for this young man
who is a deaf mute and also a member of the church. he turned to me
and said we can help. he then summoned the second councilor in the
stake to get all the information, names, phone numbers etc. my eyes
welled up with tears. bralin was pretty ruffled because even though
he didn't understand him he knew that he was the big cheese and
that i was talking to him and introducing him! what a total miracle.
i just hope i can make it happen after i leave here. especially not being
able to communicate too well. someone is looking out for that boy
besides me.
love to you all
