Today we watched a satellite transmission for the 2 hour
Conferencia de Centroamerica. We listened to Elder Mervyn B. Arnold, Elder
Enrique R. Falabella, Sister Carole M. Stephens, Elder Kevin R. Duncan, and
Elder Neil L. Andersen. That was good. They all talked about missionary work,
retention, and keeping the Sabbath day holy. They also mentioned a lot of
stories from SPS and Copan Ruinas, so that was a cool moment for Honduras . It
was kinda weird to hear such strong gringo accents, I felt uncomfortable and it
was a little hard to understand them, although Elder Andersen was fun to listen
to because his French accent slipped through a lot and there was some
Portuguese in there as well. But he was my favorite speaker, he was so happy and
friendly, even though he couldn't see us. He visited this mission a little bit
before I got here, so I missed that. But it was a good conference overall.

| Hna Cruz, Hna Mower at the Conference on Sunday |
And we had tomato soup for lunch! Yesterday we bought a
bunch of tomatoes and borrowed the eldere's blender, and this morning we got
everything made so it would be ready to eat when we got back. Hna Cruz was very
impressed and she happily ate all her soup with a bunch of rice. In Ecuador they
always have soup for lunch, as in every single day that's what you have for
lunch. And a large serving of rice plopped in the bowl. So she was really happy
today!
And we had a few citas and we found Josue! FINALLY! This was
the 9th or 10th time that we've looked for this kid and we finally found him.
We'll visit him again next Sunday, and then his work schedule should calm down
and we can teach him more often. But yes, persistence is important! Everyone
had been getting on us because we haven't taught him yet (he's a referral from
members) but we honestly just haven't been able to find the kid. But now we
have! Yay!
