Hola family!

Happy New Year! 

So this week I'm writing on a computer that has a floppy drive.

Tuesday night (New Year's Eve) the bishop invited us over for dinner. We did end up staying out a little late and the bishop gave us a ride home. But even still we were just about ready for bed by 11 and we turned the lights off at 11:30. However, sleep wasn't really an option. All over, people were setting off fireworks. Except that most of these fireworks involve a lot on noise and usually little or no light. People have been setting them off ever since we got close to Christmas. But there were a lot of them all evening on the 31st and at midnight it sounded like we were in the middle of a battle. Things calmed down enough that I fell asleep by 12:30 or so but my poor companion didn't fall asleep until three in the morning. Wednesday was a hard day for proselyting because everyone was asleep...all day!

Thursday I went on my first divisions in accordance with my assignment. It was a good chance to learn from other sisters, and I hope I was able to help them at least a little. Mostly we aren't there to overtly train the sisters; we are there to support them and help in what we can.

Saturday and Sunday we worked in our area. It was really good to be back in my own house and in my own bed!

Today we went to a train museum here in Progreso. We got there and they told us that the museum was closed on Mondays. But let me tell you my comp has people skills and she managed to get them to make an exception because Monday is our only day to see what Honduras has to offer.  Then we went to Mister Taco for lunch...hence the picture with the Mexican sombreros.

As far as the work in our area, this week has been a challenge. Many of the people who were progressing have fallen back and the sisters in the other area are having the same problem. This has been a week where we've just had to remember that we can't judge what we are doing by the results that we see.

I love you all lots!
