Today
we had 5 hospital appointments and 1 teaching visit... a lot of people got sick
recently and needed medical attention.
Also,
everyone here is only familiar with Houston, TX, so whenever they determine that I am not in fact from Utah, but from Texas, they
immediately ramble on about Houston. Wonderful people, really, and it seems
also that not many of them know where Peru
is (that's where Hna Robles is from)... so we're 2 foreigners, just chilling in
Honduras
and trying to teach the Gospel... good times.
Also, the
currency here is almost exclusively bills, there are coins in existence, but
they're valued at almost nothing, the exchange rate is around 20 lempiras to 1 dollar,
and I'm pretty sure a lot of unprocessed-name brand things here are cheaper
than in the states, but more useful things like hand sanitizer, sunscreen, aloe
vera and stuff like that are pretty pricey.
And,
people breastfeed in public. In the
hospital today a little girl ran over to her mom and just pulled her shirt down
(actually, it was a tank top, not many people wear actual shirts), switched sides,
and then ran off again...so that was interesting. Also, it's not really normal to
walk on the sidewalks, the street is preferred, and jaywalking is necessary. And pedestrians do not have the right of way,
the big metal car driving at high speeds all over the road does. So watch your
step at all times.
