Being in San Pedro close to Semana Santa is really hot. We
got to go up to SPS again for the Reunion de Liderazgo for the ZLs and HLEs.
Problem is, we got there late. Almost an hour late. I love the traffic coming
up from Copan.
Yeah.

Hna Cruz and Hna Mower
President and Sister Dester |
But that went well, got some more counsel from Pres Dester
and we talked about some of the issues in the mission that can be resolved.
HLE's (Sister Leader Trainers)
Hna Estacuy, Escobar (not my past companion), me, Hna Cruz
Finished that up and we went and walked 30 mins to a pizza place for lunch with
all the gringo elderes. The reason being for that is because this pizza place
is owned by a guy named Joe from an Italian family, and he is from New York and speaks perfect English, and he now lives in Honduras making
cheap, ridiculously good pizza and rolls and pasta.

I felt like I was in the
States again, it tasted SO good! Besides the fact that it was at least 110
degrees inside the restaurant place, it was awesome. There are good people in
the world! And I love them! We got to sign the missionary board that Joe has
and we took our picture with him!

Good guy, puts up with all the silliness of
the elderes. Because the elderes do tend to get a little crazy. But we got to
enjoy an awesome lunch.
Then we took off to Maeco to find some new clothes, so we
got to navigate around in the crazy rapiditos again and hold on tight to our
backpacks and everything. Good times. But we finally got to this one place
where they sell (basically) unused clothes from good brands at decent prices. I
got myself a few skirts I need to take in and bring the hem up, and some
shirts. So I was thrilled! All for about $7. Score!
After that we ran back to the Terminal to hop on the bus and
come back to Copan.
And we got to sit on that blessed bus 3 hours as it made it's happy way down.
Finally got home, get everything put away, and did a visit. Busy day.
In news from Honduras,
it is perfectly normal for random people to board the bus, trying to sell you
food and drinks and random things (menthol inhalers, chains, pumpkins, phone
chargers) and also for people to come and start preaching to and blessing
people. Which is what happened this morning on the way to SPS. It was just
kinda incongruent with all this guy's (literal) shouting and fist-pumping about
something of how you will die, but Ezekiel died healthy and how we need to repent
and have order in our lives because God is a god of order, and fornicating and
killing and stealing and whatnot is a life of disorder and therefore you will
not be with God, and telling everyone how God will heal us...to the music of
Bon Jovi singing about how it's his life and it's now or never...Honduras! The
bus driver had a mix of Evangelical songs in Spanish, English techno, and 80's
classic rock on his radio. Which in of itself is an interesting combination.
And there's always these random signs on the side of the
road with the 10 Commandments. Gotta remind everyone what they should be doing!
