¡HOLA!
I hope you all had a great week. I had another lovely day going to
Immigration will 11 missionaries for their residencies. But I was only
there for 5 hours this time, haha. I was with Elder Duncan because he
was one of the missionaries taking out his residency. The immigration
building is right next to a big mall, so afterwards we went to JOHNNY
ROCKETS! haha That is not somewhere I thought I would go eat while on my
mission. It was kinda pricey, but so worth it! That day I completed
an entire year in the mission field so we decided it was a good excuse
to go eat there, haha. I ate the most (and only) delicious BBQ bacon
onion-ring pepper jack cheese burger in all of my mission. So that made
a stressful and boring day into a better one.
As
I mentioned last week, we are teaching Jina and her three sons. Last
Saturday, they were in the hospital because Luis (the mute son) had
heart complication. I didn´t quite understand what the problem was, but
it sounded like he had a heart attack. But that doesn´t make much
sense for a 16 year-old boy to be having heart attacks. It was some
kind of stress/anxiety induced heart complication. It must have not
been a big deal because he was back later that night and was doing
fine. It was just a little stressful, but we should be able to go visit
all of them again pretty soon.
On
P-day we went back down south to Sabana Grande to go cook pupusas at a
members house with the missionaries that are serving down there (where
Elder Alvarado is serving). It was fun, we just got to hang out and
kind of each take turns making pupusas. They turned out pretty good,
and we ended up with a ton of leftovers haha. Later that day we went to
this really random place that Elder Rivadeneira went to when he served
in this area. I am still kind of confused to what this place was
supposed to be. It was up on this hill where there are a ton of those
giant wind turbines and you can see all of Tegucigalpa from a distance.
They had this giant cross that looked to be made out of old junk and
car parts. And little spots dedicated to different religions and
philosophies like Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and others. Then
there was this little house/museum with random relics from the past and
more religious artifacts I guess you could say. The people that owned
the place were LDS and had copies of the book of Mormon in various
languages and pamphlets out on display too. They also had donkeys
walking around on the property and they kept coming up to us and were
sticking their heads inside our car! haha. It was a really random, but
neat place that we would have never even had known existed if my comp
hadn´t already known about it.
Elder
Olmedo goes home this transfer so we already have a new secretary
training in the office. He is Elder De la Rosa and is from Mexico. He
seems pretty cool. Yep, transfers are next week, so life might be
getting a little crazy pretty soon. I probably will have two more
transfers here in the office. We´ll see.
Have a great week!
- Elder Burnham
