Merry
Christmas, Happy New Year! Yeah that was all a week ago and stuff. I
hope everyone had a good time. Yup. I got to eat two more times with
the Christensen´s for Christmas and New Years. The AP´s were invited
for Christmas dinner, but one of them was busy in the office and
couldn´t go, and that whole mission companion thing meant that someone
else had to go. Oh darn, I guess I had to go eat Elder Luquez´s meal
and visit the Christensen´s haha. We had the traditional ham with
mashed potatoes and other delicious things. We were all invited the
second time for New Years and had teriyaki chicken and rice. They like
to cook things that you won´t come across in Honduras.
We
were just in our house on New Year's eve, but everyone in the world was
setting off firecrackers and fireworks the whole night. We have a
pretty decent view from the house and the world went crazy at midnight.
haha. P-day was really boring because we didn´t really do anything.
haha. But P-day LAST week was pretty fun. We went down to Sabana
Grande and they have this little zoo. They had lions and mountain lions
and other neat animals. I always find it so funny when I see a raccoon
in a zoo as if it were some kind of rare or exotic animal.
We
are teaching this lady Jina, and her three sons, who are all
teenagers. I love them all. She basically grew up going to church, but
never really kept up with it, never was baptized. She is one of those
investigators that already feels like a member. In fact, the second
counselor in the bishopric thought she was a member and took her out of
class so he could look for her records. They had no luck. haha. Her
middle son is mute, so that has created an interesting perspective on
how we should teach and communicate with him. At first I thought that
he was just a really quiet guy, but then I realized that he actually
can´t speak. Awkward on my part, but he is really awesome. We talked
to their neighbor and he ended up knowing Elder Torres (my trainer) when
he was in this area. Neat.
Yep, that´s all I can think of in this moment. haha. Have a great week.

P.S. Tomorrow I will complete one year in the mission field. what?
