Happy 6 months to me! Pretty crazy, but yes, in a year I'll
be home again. Weird.
Today we had our Multi-zone Conference, so I really enjoyed
that. We got to travel by bus about 1.5 hrs there, and another 1.5 hrs back,
and 6 hrs of conferencing, but it was great. We all met up in Merendon, which
with Chamelecon, are the most dangerous areas of the mission. So we made sure
to stick together with the elderes, and we were fine.
Hna Dester had to leave in the beginning of the meeting
after her talk, and didn't come back as she had to do some hospitaling trips as
Hna Robles was busy as well. So I missed talking to her again, but Pres sat
with our group for lunch, so that was nice. The Dester's are seriously awesome
people.
Hey, good news! We somehow found a bottle of Pyrethrum (which
is illegal in Honduras )
so now we have access to that! Yay! [Pyrethrum, is a contact insecticide made from a formulation of the natural occurring botanical pesticide pyrethrum. It is a powerful organic pesticide and works extremely well to kill insects rapidly at very low concentrations]. We're all pretty much thrilled to have some
serious insect repellent. So we'll be treating our clothes and curtains and
sheets and everything over the next few days. We still gotta use the normal
insect repellent, but hopefully the Pyrethrum will help lower the amount of
mosquito bites and Chikungunya. That would be fantastic.
And I saw stars for the first time in forever, so I was
thrilled. I love looking at the stars, I feel like I saw them more back home
than I do here. Probably because it gets cloudy at night because it rains.
Always makes me think of when we were in the CCM, and Hna Brady and Kleinman
and I would sing the "Stars" song from Les Miserable's so terribly
and burst out laughing. "Stahz! Inyumultituuuuuude!" Good times.
