We
finally went to Guamalito! Whoohoo! We've been planning on going the entire
time I've been here, but every Pday something happens so we can't go. But we
finally went today and it was awesome! I wanted to buy everything. It's a big marketplace that has every kind of
antiquey touristy thing under the sun, and usually the missionaries that are
going home go there on their last day after interviews to buy stuff to take
home. But since it's really close to our area, we can go "whenever"
we want, ie., on a Pday. It was so neat
to wander around and look at all the neat stuff, there were blankets and pots
and masks and carvings and shirts and dresses and sandals and bowls and
intricate beaded necklaces and machetes and knives and boxes and nativities and
all sorts of neat little trinkety things. I got a little wood bowl to hold my
watch and earrings and tag at night, and a teal Honduras shirt with geckos and
dolphins, pretty sweet. Hna Robles bought a wallet with beautifully embroidered
flowers. It was very similar to the Central Market we went to in Guatemala , and Hna Archila (who's from Guatemala ...she's a Guatemalteca or Chapina. People/things from Honduras
are Catracho/a, and I'm Gringa!) confirmed that a lot of the stuff was indeed based
off Guatemalan cultural things. But it's super cool, nonetheless. We also
bought a bunch of stuff from a lady who's a member, so we got a very nice discount,
almost half of normal price, so that was pretty awesome.

My new
earrings!
They're stainless steel like my watch and ring...I'm Hna Acero! :)

And then
we got lunch at McDonald's and went off and wrote our families (half of mine is
camping right now at Young Men High Adventure & Boy Scout Camp) and bought some
food and got ready for lessons.
