Today I
ran into a tree branch and I think it knocked off my earring, so I'll have to
buy some new ones on Pday, whoops. I was
checking our agenda for who we were going to visit next and we walked by these
overgrown bush-tree things, and my face met wood. That was surprising! But I'm ok, just lost my pearl earring.
We're
visiting a family that has a 2 month-old male puppy, and another that has a 3
month-old female puppy, and both like to climb around and chew on my backpack
and shoes. They're
the cutest little things, still kinda walk around funny with their little tails
wiggling, but each time we visit they seem to be a little bit bigger. Crazy how
fast they grow. So hopefully I'll be around a little longer and can watch them
get bigger! They're named Bruno and
Burbuja (Bubble) respectively.
With the
rapiditos here, they follow routes throughout the city, and usually we
use Ruta 4 to get to Central and the stores and stuff, but for normal everyday
use, we are regular users of the Ruta 11...our legs! One of the favorite sayings in the mission,
and one we tell ourselves all the time as we're walking around.
Funny
experience of the week: we were teaching
these 3 kiddos (they're getting baptized next Saturday!) and talking about how
much God loves them and knows them personally, and I reached over and smacked a
mosquito on Hna Robles's leg, without warning. Everyone busted up laughing, as
the whole scene was quite funny. Hna
Robles: "What part did you like the most about what you just read?"
Guisell: "Well, I liked the part the God loves me a lot." Hna Robles: "Yes, Guisell, that is
really important. God is our loving Father in Heaven, and He wants us to be
happy, so He-" --SMACK-- Me: "...helps us get rid of
mosquitoes." Gotta love teaching
outside in Honduras .
And on a
more spiritual note, I'm helping Hna Robles translate "Stronger" by
the Nashville Tribute Band, and we were going over phrases and stuff, and we
started talking about "to face" something, and I explained that it's
used to say "to face your fears," "to meet them head-on," and that got me thinking that that is such a neat little set of words: To face
something, head-on. As in, you choose to
turn and stand in front of something, with all your focus and might, with the
intention on staying in your place no matter what the other thing does.
Actually pretty neat, if you think about it, Hna Robles really liked the
concept.
