Level 1️⃣9️⃣

 Hello everybody welcome back to another email. Just wanted to thank you all for sending me some birthday wishes this week! It was an awesome to have my birthday as a missionary, sad to only have 1 more. Let's get into it!


Intercambios:
On Tuesday I had an intercambio with my Zone Leader, Elder Perry, who is my brother here out in the mission. He's my brother in the sense that we both had Elder Grimaldo as our trainer, or our "dad," and it was super fun. I went down to the city and we worked down there a day!




Also went out with Elder Morton 2 times this week because my comp and his comp were out sick for 2 days, so we went out together and worked in both areas, it was a good time.

My birthday:
Turns out here in Honduras the tradition for birthdays is to crack eggs on the persons head and dump flour all over you. I not only had it happen once, but twice. It was a fun experience and living up the culture down here. But it was a great day filled with some baleades for breakfast, baleadas for lunch, and some homemade crepes for dinner. The hermanas brought me a piece of cake.  All the Elders in my house all bought me something too so that was super fun too!

Spiritual thought:
Ephesians 2
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

I am glad to have a living prophet on the earth today, who leads us and guides us to follow Jesus Christ! I know Dallin H Oaks is a prophet chosen of God and when we listen to his words, we listen to the words of Jesus Christ himself! I am grateful for apostles of the Lord who testify of his divinity and reality! I know the Church of Jesus Christ is built upon prophets and apostles, and for that, I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church, His church, here on the earth today!

Super quick week and only 1 week left in this transfer.  It's very probable that I will leave this area so got one more week to give it my all out here in Talanga.

Once again thank you all for the birthday wishes, 
Elder Bingham

  Hola everybody- another week has passed by already. I guess I get to write another email, but wow the week flew by!  First Christmas away from home but it was a good time. Let's get into the week.  Multi Zone Conference: Monday and Tuesday we had a conference with like 4 other zones and it was super fun, got to see some friends that I had been with in the CCM and got to catch up with them! Had some Little Ceasars pizza and a talent show it was cool. Next day we had the spiritual part and it was super good, learned a little bit about Angels and we talked about the brother of Jared, giving the stones to the Lord to make light out of them, and how we can give the Lord our stones, and let him light them for us! All dudes from my CCM group pizza with my goat Elder Castellanos spent some time catching up with Elder Chambers!!

  What is up everybody, hope you guys are all doing well. It was a good week of work and also some fun times as well. Definitely some things from my mission that I'll remember the rest of my life!  Happy bday Elder Garcia Also my mission is deleting messenger, so if you ever want to write to me or something like that, check out the email at the bottom of the email🫶 Copa Misional: Because the World Cup is on right now, my mission decided to do a Mission Cup, where we do zone v zone in a couple sports. Was able to play some bball and destroy some zone, and it's a fun time being with a bunch of my CCM bros and just playing sports. Comayagua 🔛🔝 Don't have all the photos yet Wednesday: Well Wednesday was a very interesting day. Headed out early on a bus to head to the city for a multi zone conference, but there was a hugeeee car accident in one of the cities on the way.

Hello friends and family- welcome to another email.  Things are going good out here in Honduras, just living the missionary life. The temple: This past week I was able to go to the temple with our recent convert Jesua. It's super fun to be able to go to the temple with him and watch him progress in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I love the temple! The work: Well the work out here in my area is pretty tough, I'm not going to lie.  People are pretty hard hearted and aren't really open to anything, but nonetheless, we persevere with faith and keep working. view of the temple We've got a couple people with a baptismal date, but they either aren't married or they think they need to go to church a million times before they can really be baptized, so just working with them to progress and be baptized in the true and restored church! Spiritual thought: "Satan knows us by name but calls us by our sins, and God knows us for our sins but calls us by name" This ...
