Weekly Planning! And divisions planning! But that went well,
got everything mostly figured out for being HLEs (hermanas lideres
entrenadoras is really long to spell out all the time now) and had to call a
whole ton of people to coordinate stuff. It's fun being in charge of things.
We got that done and then went looking for our lunch
appointment because Ana had said she left the food with a neighbor because she
had to go up to SPS, but we couldn't find the neighbor. So we finally ended up
sitting on her front porch until a nice lady came by and said she had our food.
So we followed her to her house and we had lunch. It was pretty good, fried
chicken, tajadas, refried beans, rice, limeade. Typical Honduran food.
And we got some stuff figured out for the baptisms on
Saturday! Whoo! More brain-damage than it needed to be, but we made it out of
the experience alive.
And we had our last visit with Keyla and Alexandra where we
went over the baptism interview questions with them and did a final review over
everything we had taught them. They're so good! Alexandra's still a little shy
of talking in front of many people, but if you get her alone she'll open up and
talk to ya. But I love them both, they're wonderful girls.
Good news, apparently I'll receive my residencia card
in the ruta on Tuesday! I'm so excited! It's kinda like waiting for your
driver's license to come in the mail. So I will officially be catracha! I'll be
a white Central American. That's pretty neat.
And, funny story of the day: today I wore my flats instead
of my normal sandals like I always do. So when we were with Keyla and Alexandra
and Angie and Sueybellin (the daughters of Wilmer that live next door and are
friends) we were talking about how you could see the stripes of tanned and
light skin on my feet and legs and how they looked like socks. And, sweet
little Alexandra, took everything so seriously and honestly thought I was
wearing socks that had stripes like that, and reached out to touch my leg to see if I indeed
was wearing the mentioned socks, then jumped back in surprise to feel my normal skin. Then she was all confused as to why they were
saying I had socks on when all she touched was skin. And then she got the joke
that we had been making the entire time. But the funniest of all were the faces
she made of surprise and confusion and realization...oh, I love Alexandra!
