yup soaked


Our cook - obispo 


I had to get a police escort on my first day because someone was following us.  Yeah kinda a tough first week here. 

I'm in san juan satelite Honduras. My comp is Elder Marquezado  from Peru. I'm in a branch. Members are the exact opposite of Miramar... they come out and teach with us and actually help us. Small branch though.

My new house is literally the worst thing I have seen in my entire life. Mold everywhere and these nasty stalagtite strings that hang from the wall. Water leaks from the shower and floods our room everyday. My companion literally will eat something and just throw the trash on the floor. I have awful allergies this week.... its honestly so explicitly bad. The light switch in the bathroom is just two wires that stick out of the wall. I cleaned up a fruit cake that has been out on the patio for 3 weeks allegedly. I talked to the mission pres. He said we can move out. 

The hardest thing was to leave my cook. She has been like my second mom out here. Shes the only person I really didnt want to leave.  The easiest thing to leave? the rain

My testimony has grown by helping a ward thats not as structured or stable as they are in the states.  I've learned to have a good relation with the bishop and other important members. They will appreciate you more and want to work with you more!
