Elder Case: Honduras, Tegucigalpa Mission: Capítulo 9- The animals here only understand Spanish

This week was a great week. Zone conference was great, and it was combined with like 5 other zones, so i got to see a lot of people from my district in the MTC. I've learned a lot about this place in this past week. for example, the animals here only understand spanish. i was telling this dog to leave, and after like 5 failed attempts, i switched to spanish and the dog left after the first try haha.

Also, the people here absolutely hate Trump. Every year, for the new year, they make gigantic piñatas of people, stuff them with firecrackers, and blow them up in the middle of the city. This year they made one of Trump, and two other people. anyways, they're stuffing these gigantic piñata like things with firecrackers and fireworks of all kinds and something happens. All of the fireworks start going off, everyone who was stuffing the piñatas gets badly burned and the piñatas start blowing up. After the craziness, they notice that the Piñata of Trump was perfectly fine and untouched. Think that's a sign? i don't know jaja (Spanish laughter)

I had my first baptism this week, we had to go to the church and set everything up, so i thought that it was going to be a relatively easy day. i was so very wrong haha. we get there, and i started sweeping and mopping because the entire building is tile. anyways, i'm mopping and i turn around and notice that the ground was filthy because my shoes had dirt all over them. everything i did just made it more dirty haha. eventually i gave up and started mopping in my socks. which worked, but my socks were gross. we had set everything up by 5:30 and we start waiting for people to show up for the baptism that starts at 6:00. nobod showed up until 6:30 and the person being baptized didn't show up until 7! and she had forgotten her baptism clothing. running out of options, my companion and i started running, yes, i ran... i ran my heart out haha. all the way to the top of our area and back to the church building. we got to the church building at 7:30and started the baptism. I literally almost died haha i am not a runner, but it was all worth it in the end.

that's all for this week.
