Today was crazy! As always. But good, so that was nice.
Church was good, we brought 4 people with us! Whoohoo! Karina and Axel came,
and Alonso and Iris, so that was wonderful. Hope to keep them progressing, it's
so good to have people come to church. Yay!
In news fromHonduras , they really do the
whole:

In news from
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
thing when someone scores a point in the soccer game, whether on TV or in the
street, so that's kinda funny.
And it is simply astounding that there are so many almond and mango trees there are here, literally almost every house has at least one or two of each kind. And everything is green...great big trees with great big leaves. There's almost no flowers planted in the ground, all the flowers are in the trees. Perhaps mostly because a lot of the trees here are flower bushy things that have kinda gone wild and grown into tree things.

Also I've seen some posters for the third Divergent movie
and the next Avengers movie I think (I honestly can't remember if we're on
number 2 or 3 with that) so I hope you guys can go and enjoy them and don't
tell me any spoilers. Gonna have a lot of catching up when I get home...whoo!
It was really funny to see a picture of Thor being all serious and
Norse-god-mode with his hammer while walking around the streets of Honduras ,
kicking around almond fruit and evading piles of leaves and rocks. Living here
means you experience constant juxtapositions all day long. Kinda
weird.
We were (literally) running a little late from a meeting to
a dinner appointment tonight, so we ran/walked with our backpacks and
everything from the church to our house (a good 10 mins or so) and decided to drop
all the heavy stuff from our backpacks and just run with our copies of the Book
of Mormon and our missionary handbooks and the cell phone and house keys to the
person's house to get there in a decently timely manner (as they lived another
good 10 mins from our house) with the food items we had promised to bring. But can I just say, that it felt so incredibly good to actually
run for once, man that was awesome. I think walking around with a heavy
backpack some odd hours a day for 3 months might help a little with increased
muscle strength or whatever, because I enjoyed running much more than usual.
Hna Robles had a little bit harder of a time with the enjoying part, I think,
but we got to where we were going and everything worked out well. So there.
That was my fun story for the day.
Oh! And
good news! I forgot to mention that we were finally able to buy 2 light bulbs
the other day, so we now have light in both our bathroom and our main living
space. We no longer live in darkness! So that's been a big moral booster.
Hurrah for electricity!
