Hey everyone! It's almost Halloween! Which sadly, means next to nothing
here in Honduras. They don't celebrate Halloween! How lame is that? Anyway,
here's the update, bullet-list style, on the week that was:
- We
had 12 investigators in church yesterday! It was one of those weeks where a lot
of things went right. We found some people that were legitimately interested,
had some people go that have been off and on for a while, etc. It was my highest
total in Puerto Cortes, and should result in some baptisms, but sadly most would
come after I leave.
- We did divisions twice this past week, and I really dodged a bullet when I left my area. Why? Because our cook gave the elders yuka (this horrible, tasteless, vegetable), chicharron (pig skin) with hair on it, and pig feet. That's about the worst Honduran meal I can think of. Only slightly better was the mondongo (cow stomach) soup which we had the next day. Needless to say, we might change cooks hahahaha.
- Ok, time for one of the CRAZIEST stories of my mission. So we've been teaching this 23-year old girl named Rosemary for about 4 months now. She's super awesome, and always has kept all of our commitments... except baptism. What I haven't told you guys is that her and her mom fight... like a lot. It's been getting progressively worse for the last few weeks, and apparently it reached it's breaking point yesterday morning because her mom kicked her out of the house! We called her after church to find out that she had gone to one of the member's houses to stay. She'll be there until she can find somewhere a little more permanent. The members are being super nice about it, and giving her all the time she needs to figure something out.
- Also, it's been raining a TON the last week, and we got pretty wet. I once again dodged a bullet, and missed the day with the most rain when I was out on divisions doing 5 baptismal interviews :)
Thanks for all your love and support guys! Have a great week, and I'll see you all soon!
