Bonus Pictures

Every week I look at the mission blog and hope for pictures of Bridger.  This week I was not disappointed.  These must have been their conferences.  He looks so happy.  I was thrilled there was more than one.  Always a surprise and a great bonus for a mom and family to see him appear in one of the pictures she posts.  Thank you Sister Veirs for posting pictures of our missionaries.  It is appreciated more than you will ever know.  Here see for yourself just how great and happy he looks...

Sweetest City on Earth, and Blind Faith

His email is awesome this week.  You can tell he is very much in his element.  The title blind faith is I'm sure he must have had with the taxi experience he had.  But, he is so happy and you can tell by what he writes.  He still loves his music and who knows how many headphones and such he will bring home with him.  Looks like he found another gym and teaching people.  He continues to tell me that he is safe and healthy.  For that I am grateful...

Well hola family i am still here in good ole San Pedro Sula the Sweetest city on earth well dad wanted to know my area so if you google map the church in barrio Benque you will find the biggest church in Honduras thats the one we go to its by Multi Plaza and City Mall about 13 Blocks above Centro Sanpedro so ya i live right smack dab in the middle of the city. hahah i love it this city has everything and it is just nuts everday something happens that you just can NOT believe So 1st off i found a place on the strret that everyone says they steal Dr Dre Beat headphones and then sell em for cheap so i went and scoped it out ya cheap the headbuds 10 bucks and the big huge ones 20 hahah I LOVE THIS COUNTRY anyways this week we took a ton of Rapiditos the small buses they have here and well i have to say they are crazy everytime it is amazing to say we got off at our stop this week one was so crazy there was a lady in it CRYING for her life jajajaj it was bad but i love rapiditos theyre awesome. also we have found some awesome people to teach this week we just need help to get them to progress and go to churcfh first we found a family of 10!!!! so aweome reading the Bo of Mormon and everything but they couldnt go to churh cause the parents were working but its all good we will keep at em and hope for next week also i asked Dad about the group the free masons we found a guy so sick like 50 years old who is one and is the highest level you can be talking to him h¡is way cool and he went to church SI HOMBRE UH i was so stoked my comp was too to see him walk in it was so awesome. oh by the way while i am thinking of it there is an elder from south Jordab that goes home Tuesday to prepare to go to school named Elder Rowe he was petersons comp so i would imagine you could talk to the Petersons about going to see him if you want hes a cool kid.

A Zone Leader and His Dreams come True

Today his email came a little later as he posted pictures with them and it takes longer.  However, totally worth the wait.  He looks so great and you'll be able to see by his email that he is so happy.  Last week's email was so short and not full of much information.  This week totally made up for it.  You're going to love this one.  I have been missing him so much this last few days, not sure why, but I can rest assured, he's just fine and the pictures speak volumes of how happy he is.  Enjoy...

Love Elder Clayton

 Elder Clayton & Elder Floisand at the Copan Ruins. They work hard and play hard, too

 At the Copan Ruins

 At the Pulparia & Money

We sent him with these vitamins a bottle of 500 and they are gone.  Which means, 500 days down, only about 243 days left.  not that I'm keeping track or anything.  (ok, I totally am)

Not a Great Email Week

Bridger said that he lost the email that he had typed, but that's ok.  He seems to be doing well and very happy.  Elder Floisand that he mentions is an elder from Rose Park and his dad works with Wayne.  We have found that they seem to work hard, but play hard, too.  Not surprising.  I love the longer emails, however as long as he is safe and happy, I am grateful.  Enjoy...

Zone Conference Bonus Picture

Sister Veirs has a blog that I check probably more than I should and hope that a picture of our missionary is there.  Finally today there is one.  He looks so great and happy.  These are always small things that put a mother's heart at ease.  Thank you Sister Veirs.  It is such a blessing that you do this for those family members back home.

Back row 2nd from the right.  He is beaming!!!
