Today I got 7 months, and Hna Escobar has 6! It's actually really neat to be with her, we
get along really well. She came in my arrival group, but is Latina, so has a month less than me, I'll go
home a change before her, I think. But she's a really hard worker, and has some
tips and tricks I hadn't heard of before, so I've been learning a lot as well.

March 31, 2015 Arrived at Honduras Airport (from Guatemala MTC)
Hna Escobar is two sisters on the left from Hna Mower |
Hna Escobar is from Guatemala, is 23 years old, and is
the youngest of 4 kids in her family. Has been in Copan
all this time, Santa Cruz
is her second area and I'm her 3rd companion.
Went around today and showed her some of our area, we
actually have a lot of ground to cover. Our area in Santa
Cruz is way bigger than Smith or El Dorado, where she was at. So we got some
work to do just getting to know the area.
And, more good news, we finally got water in the house! The sinks in the kitchen and bathroom work,
the toilet flushes, there's water in the shower, and the pila spouts out water
normally again. Pretty awesome, right?! In
the shower the water comes out of a spigot about waist height, so you gotta
crouch down to get wet, and it's still really cold, but we're just happy that
it works!
Also, as we were teaching a lesson outdoors (which is
completely normal, a lot of times standing up outside their gate thing the
entire time...we're really happy when we can go inside the porch or house to
sit for a minute) some neighbor up the street (remember I mean rock path when I
say street) decided that 4:00 pm is the perfect time to burn all their trash,
so we were totally filled with smoke for a while as we were teaching...gotta
take a shower and wash out my hair again. I'm pretty sure that we just always smell like smoke, add that to the
Eternal Girl's Camp list.
