No
hospitaling today! We did run by the office to check on some things, and I gave
my mountain of paperwork to E Markus to give
to President Dester to sign off on all the forms, poor guy. It's so sad, we've had 3 elderes return home
for health reasons since I've been here. It's a different perspective on missionary
life from the medical side of everything, it's incredible how this whole system
works so well. But the hand of the Lord is in all things, so in the end it will
work out, should we choose to let it.
We did have some appointments today, so that was good! We finally visited one lady after a
long time since her son is part of one of the numerous gangs here and the last
visit did not go over well with him, but he's not in the city right now, so we felt it
was alright to visit with her again. Very sweet lady, I couldn't understand a
word she said, but I could tell she was struggling in her life and that she
appreciated our visit and short message about the strength of the Lord and the
role of the Holy Ghost. There are some very good people here, and
they simply don't have access to the opportunities that should be afforded to
them. Very sad.
But on
more happy news from Honduras ,
I have discovered a great discovery: "oatmeal" here is usually called "avena" or "mosh"
or "avena mosh," and therefore... the skincare brand Aveeno is
oatmeal based. Boom! Just realized that today as we were walking
under the blessed sun for hours. I'm
getting really good at this word-connection game!
It's still kinda trippy to realize that I'm talking to
people, in Spanish, in the country of Honduras in Central America, about the
Gospel of Jesus Christ... still kinda mind-boggling. In a good way, of course, but I honestly
would not have imagined myself here if I had thought about it, even 6 months
ago. Weird. Apparently I'm supposed to be here, though, so I'll make the most
of it that I can, fulfill my purpose, whatever it may end up being. I kinda feel like a sponge, just absorbing
and analyzing and remembering what Hna Robles is saying and doing, so I have an
idea of what should happen and what I can say.
Also, the grapes here are huge (almost ping pong ball size) and have 3-4 seeds, usually. Goodnight!
