I'm in Honduras!
My new companion is Hermana Nuñez. She's from Mexico, she's been out for about
a year, and she's really nice. I think she speaks some English, but thus far I have
been trying to stretch and just stick with Spanish except for a few words here
and there.
On Monday--my last day in the CCM--I spent the day in workshops and such to get us ready to leave for the field. Tuesday morning I woke up at three so that I could be ready to board the bus to the airport at four. We took two short flights. The first, to San Salvador, was about a half hour in the air. And the second to San Pedro Sula was maybe 40 minutes. After we got to San Pedro Sula, we went to the mission home. We had lunch, training and dinner. I don't know why people think it's effective to hold training when I'm running on four hours of sleep, but they did it anyway. We came in a group of seven hermanas and then a whole bunch of Elders. The hermanas spent the night with Hermana Tolliver, the nurse, and Hermana Jenkins who is going home tomorrow.

This morning I
had my first real Hondureñan food. Baleadas. It's a tortilla with beans, sour
cream and other stuff inside. It was good, but I hear the homemade ones are
even better.
Then we had
change meeting. It's entirely nerve-racking to be sitting up front waiting to
find out who your trainer will be, but I survived. Because we're fairly close
to SPS, we took a taxi to our house. I haven't hardly been there at all yet. We
just dropped my stuff and then went out to find food and write home.
All the houses
and stores here are really colorful. Lime green, orange, all sorts of colors.
I wanted to
attach some pictures, but I couldn't get the file to load all the way. I'll try
again next time.
