Well - Deric is not going to be transferred this time around. It will be at least another 6 weeks. Elder Rojas thinks that Deric will be a trainer. Deric would like at least one more transfer before he gets that responsibility. Change has always been hard for him but he adjusts quickly. He is still working hard and loving being in Honduras. He still loves the food and the people. When we hear from him next week, we will be learning who his new companion is.
I talked to the father of one of Deric's friends today. Jake is doing well in Texas. He is a senior companion and really loving his mission. He left in August and has been in Texas about as long as Deric has been in Honduras. He has yet to get a transfer either. There must be something about these boys. They are hard workers and have strong testimonies. Jake's older brother served in the same mission where Deric is. Small world, isn't it.
Deric hasn't been able to send photos lately. We've been lucky to get e-mail. Last week, we got messages that he sent around 3:00pm at 9:00pm. We were getting messages out of order and had to start new strings a few times. Just an unlucky day. This week was better for me but Conrad still had some issues. I'm just ready to get a real letter in the snail mail.
