This week was a lot of emotions. It was really hard to leave the CCM because 1. It is paradise and 2. I made so many lifelong friends. Saying goodbye was the worst, but at least we know we can all see each other again soon.
We all left last tuesday early early early in the morning. Everyone flying left around 3 AM, then everyone going to Tegucigalpa flew to El Salvador then finally Honduras! We were so dead tired they let us sleep the whole afternoon. The presidents house is HUGE and GORGEOUS, we stayed there that nigt, then the next day we met companions and headed off to our areas. My companion is Hna Ordonez from Ecuador and she has about 9 months here in the mission. Sorry I didnt get any pictures with her but Ill try to remember next week!
We are serving in the South, Yusguare. A few little pueblos south of Cholunteca. It took about 6 hours to get here from Tegucigalpa, and this might be the hottest, poorest, largest, and weirdest accent area in our mission according to what the other missionaries have said.
But
Todo cheque!
(Everythings cool)
The people here are so nice, we eat lunch and sometimes dinner every day with one of the members who has a little bit more money, Hermana Josefina. Her accent is so strange I still cant figure out what shes saying but regardless she is so sweet. Members, investigators, random people on the street all are so nice and insist on buying us snacks or drinks. It is really humbling, especially since these people really dont have much at all.
But nonetheless, this week has been an adjustment. This place is very different, like I said, and I miss all my friends and laundry machines and plumbing and being able to understand what everyone is saying. The other day I was reading in the end of Mark 4, when Jesus calms the storm. Sometimes when things arent working out or the day drags on it can feel like the tempest is raging and we are out of control, but we have to have hope in the words of the Savior.
Yo se que el Señor vendra! Nuestro Salvador y Redentor es amoroso y poderoso, y El entiende nuestros desafios y cargas. No importa la circunstancia, El vendra, y tengo fe en sus palabras.
