This week was a tough one in regards to my stomach. My stomach has been very odd, its been upset, and then it gets worse with really any honduranian food.... I'm just genuinely sick of it because its always the same oily greasy stuff.
so i finally found a place with root beer and some other goodies and went a little cray cray
Before
After
Finished off the last of our food on some chocolate pancakes
Hosted more futbol
Consists of playing with the youth, the youth inviting friends, and then having a lesson
this week we are gonna watch the restoration movie before hand, with baliadas, and then play
Took the youth to BK also, hooked them up with some americano
Some dude teaching us how he fishes. this dock used to be longer but long ago it collapsed
you can see the foundations out there
and this dude just fishes off of whats left. this dock was sweet.
The buses here are so fun just old ghetto school buses rigged with tons of lights, horns, and speakers
inside is just bumping with music!
that is the name of the hotel by the beach, if you want to see where i was geographically, plug it into google maps you can see it
this week I learned the importance of teaching with love and patience!
the two newbies (I'm in a trio) didn't have a lot of patience or love for one of our long time investigators, and ended up just trying to bail out. We had a youth with us so I told them Id stay and teach.... so I did. Until that point they didn't even let me talk, our investigator Alejandria was frustrated, and i was just trying to get us back on track. It all just kinda flowed out perfectly though.... I'm getting better with my Spanish, but I still have my days. We had the lesson, and reviewed the Book of Mormon. She has had tons of lessons, wants to be baptized, but hasn't received a confirmation yet through prayer... This youth and I taught her all about the Book of Mormon again, answered all of her questions, and then some.....
We just had a great lesson, only the youth and with me completely in charge and I didn't struggle at all with my Spanish. I don't recall making any noticeable mistakes. At the end Alejandria just told me about how grateful she is that I can speak.... she was like the first person I meet, and complemented me on how much I've changed. That was pretty sweet. It was rather interesting because the other two can teach better than I can, and they know more scriptures, they can do it all better. But without the love and patience it was an awful lesson. I'm no longer in that trio anymore. I'm good.
my area is sweet, its just so incredibly hot here, there is like no relief from it ..just dripping in sweat everyday
Learning how to sharpen my machete: disobedient companions..not really, they are for service when we need em, we chopped this dudes grass the other day with machetes. It takes forever but no lawn mowers here.
