Surprise Birthday Party! Hna Escobar is super awesome and
coordinated with the elderes and Hno Rene to make up a surprise lunch for my
birthday. It was really good! Almost normal American food. We had barbecued
chicken, stuffed baked potatoes, a salad with chimol, typical rice-veggie
thing, and drank Coke (as always!). Happy Birthday to me, again!
Pretty quiet Pday, we gotta wash a whole lot of clothes, but
there's no water...still. In fact, our pila is empty. So I took advantage of
that and washed our pila (with powdered laundry detergent and a broom, go Honduras) as
it's been a while since we've cleaned it out.
The pila tends to collect twigs and
leaves and dirt, even though we always keep it covered. Ha saber. And we also
cleaned house and chilled for a little bit. Headed over to write nuestras
familias y seres queridos, and got cleaned up again to go the setting apart of
Karolhyna because she's leaving for her mission tomorrow morning.
I wrote down all the proceedings and notes from talks and blessings and such to give to her and her mother, Maria, and I also got called upon to give some words of counsel. I like talking in microphones!
We did all that fun stuff, and wished her well, and that we love and miss her. Hna Ramos always went on divisions with us, and she's just an awesome person. Go missions!
We made her a letter of love and counsel and encouragement, and I
drew on the envelope so it was all pretty.
and we made her a pink bead gecko
for her backpack!
We also made a set of geckos for ourselves and the elderes.
They're very handy when there's rowdy children so they have something
unbreakable and unchokable to occupy themselves with while we teach.
