This is my District! I´ll miss them when I change areas in a couple weeks. |
Hey Familia!
We have pots to cook with and a
stove type thing. No oven. We
email from little internet places and we are allowed 50 minutes to write the
president, put in datos (not sure what that is in English) and then try to write
whoever else we have time for, so not a lot of time! It costs about 20
lempiras. We ride the bus a lot! Our area is huge. From one
end to another it´s about 45 minutes- 1 hour walking, depending on how fast you
walk. But the buses are super different than the ones in the states.
They don´t have a time schedule and they are paid based on how fast they
go. It´s sketch sometimes. President Fortuna said no more food
lists, so now we eat a lot of rice and beans and eggs, because it´s cheap.
But the traditional food is a plate of beans, rice, avocado, mantequilla,
an egg, platanos, and no matter what food you eat there´s always tortillas.
I´ll take pics of the apartment next
time but it´s really nice! I´m in a very wealthy area. Hey tell
every family member that is in seminary or going to be in seminary to study
scripture mastery!! Did you know scripture mastery is just preparation
for the mission?! I wish someone had told me that when I was in seminary!
I regret not memorizing them as well as I should have. I have used
almost every single one of those scriptures in my lessons! Old Testament,
New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine & Covenants! It´s awesome
that they have kids memorize those. We found 14 new investigators this
week! We basically have had to start over with the people we teach.
No one was progressing and most of them dropped us. But we have
some awesome new families and super positive people so we are pumped! One
family is super interesting. The hermano plays a guitaron in a mariache
band, his wife isn’t able to talk or hear. They are super nice and want
us to come more! We use lots of pictures and movies and write out our
lessons. We are working hard and praying a ton! I love it out here.
Love you guys!
