Today was P day,  our first real Preparation day.   We had lunch with the Elders in our District at a taco place.  They were really good Mexican style street tacos.  That is the first place I have seen here that has Mexican food which is very different than Honduran food.  Here there is what is known as "baleadas". which are tortillas with refried red beans, with cheese or chicken or scrambled eggs, and avocado, depending on how much you want to pay and which meal it is.  Baleadas are breakfast lunch and dinner 😀.  After that we all went to the church so that they could all call home and send emails etc.  While we were there our Mission President and Hermana stopped by for a minute,  They have family visiting them for a couple weeks so they were showing them around the mission.  After that we went to get a haircut. My first in Honduras.  We went one place where Elder's go, we waited a while but then ran out of time waiting so we went on to our other things we had to do, then leaving one place we saw another haircut place, "Peluqueria". There was only one person there so we went in.  I feel like it was a great haircut, I will definitely go there again.  When I got home I figured out what I paid, it was 100 Lempiras, in dollar equivalent it was a total of $4.04 including tip.   What a deal!! We are ready for the week!  Can't wait. 😊

Our Zone has a weekly Family Home Evening on Zoom.  We were asked to teach the lesson tonight.  I thought it went well,  Everyone is so forgiving and kind with our Spanish, but I think it went well. It is always great to be with them even if it is on Zoom.

 Sunday January 29, 2023 We have had some wonderful experiences this past week.  I will try and capture what it has been like for us.  Monday morning we packed our bags and drove out to a rather distant part of our mission.  Our mission President and Hermana as well as the 3 assistants to the President were in their car and we traveled together, somewhat.  Driving / road trips, are an experience here.  Roads are very narrow at times, semi two lanes at times, have many potholes, many speed bumps inside towns, are not marked with lines in the center or on the edge,  people drive on the sidewalks at times to get around traffic, it is just crazy.  I don't mind driving during the day but nighttime driving is one thing I really do not like. Thank goodness it is not often when we had to be out after dark. There are people walking along the side of the roads which you cannot see until you are right next to them,  many of the motorcycles, of which the...

 Sunday December 10, 2023 Genesis Tatiana Martinez Juarez was Baptized this week on Wednesday.  She is another grandchild of Doris Funez,  she is slowly getting more of her grandchildren baptized.  This picture shows more of her family, David was not able to be there for his sisters baptism, which I felt bad that he wasn't there but he had something going on, and for some reason the family support here is not what it is back home.  Oh well.   Tatiana's mom has never attended church yet but I feel like one day she will.  The son between David and Tatiana, which is Aaron, will be baptized this week on Wednesday, so that makes all three of her children baptized which hopefully will be even more reason for her to participate.  Tatiana was so happy today at church,  She was confirmed in sacrament meeting today and then participated later in a presentation for the Central America area plan.   President Garcia is on the Left.  oo...

  Sunday June 30, 2024 What a great week this past week has been.  There was a "Mission Week" initiative here in the Central America Area where missionaries and all members were invited to do certain things each day.  Then yesterday, on Saturday the Hermanas, had a double baptism, Grandma Marina, and her granddaughter, Allison.  The Elders baptized them then President Mendoza and I did the confirmations.   On Monday it was to hold a family home evening and invite friends and neighbors, Tuesday was to give someone a Book of Mormon, and every day was something simple and easy that we all can do to share the gospel with others.  We had a great week with the Elders and Hermana's de Tela and Telamar.  We started out the week with a family home evening at Doris's house with all her grandkids, it was so awesome to be there all together with them, I'll add some pictures.  It was nighttime by the time we took the pictures so they are not great but it ...
