Today was also a crazy day and I'm exhausted. We did some
contacting in the morning and found a bunch of interesting people. We came to
one house where the gate was open and a drunk guy (we didn't know he was drunk
right at first) sitting on the porch, looking very confused. We asked him what
his name was and if he worked there or if anyone was home, and he mumbled a
bunch of nonsense and turned around, laid down, and went to sleep right in
front of us. So that made us laugh, honestly, just because that's what happens
here, and we went trying to find some different people to teach. We had a fun
morning.
Then we had lunch and got back to our house, and we
discovered that Hna Cruz really likes the Swedish Fish candy!
That was randomly
awesome. Thanks, family! It's always nice to have candy from the States because
the only things I've been able to find are Skittles and Snickers. And some
Hershey chocolate bars but those aren't yummy because they're just wax and are
only good drizzled on top of Texas
sheet cake. So there. We enjoyed my little bag of Swedish Fish and I helped Hna
Cruz with some more words in English.
And we visited some more people and shared the Restored
Gospel...always a good thing to do. Listened to a bunch of interesting people
say a bunch of interesting things, and then headed back to the church to attend
the Open House event that we were helping to prepare last night. It turned out
well, and some friends of members came! So we got to know them and everything.
Overall a good day.
And, more good news, the water came again! We're getting
back onto a more regular schedule again, so that's reassuring. But, bad news,
nobody in the mission has folletos of the Restoration because they haven't come
to Tegucigalpa
so the mission office can't send us any in the Ruta. So we're getting pretty
creative in our contacts...lots of interesting starter questions or using
folletos of other lessons. For example, contacting with the Word of Wisdom is a
good life skill to have. Samuel, start practicing! Haha!
And apparently the medication Tiamina will cure you of
headaches, stomachaches, joint paint, insomnia, itchiness, bladder infections,
and is an important vitamin. None of that is true, but that's what a doctor
apparently said to a guy we talked to today. Except Tiamina is for repelling
mosquitos. I took it for that in Santa
Cruz . I love the creativity we've got down here.
(Alright, tiamina is Thiamine, which is vitamin B1, so it is
a vitamin. I stand corrected. But people still don't know what they're talking
about here.)
