...and then we danced‏

Hello there people of the world! :)

This week was just full of awesomeness!

Often when telling people any story (well, anytime not during lessons- don't worry) I normally end it with "and then we danced!" It's just the only description I find to say how happy I am!

Last night we were walking with a member (shout out to Hermana Sandra who walked around with us in the rain for TWO HOURS) and I was wearing my wicked sweet poncho for the first time (shout out to Mama Lisa Mott) and was just turning happily in circles. Life is just so beautiful!

Justin told us the Book of Mormon is true!

 

 

We went up to a pulperia and we always joke with the owners who were sitting outside. So we asked if we could just go inside to get our bags of water. They obliged :) So now you know where I buy my water and semitas (little things of sweet bread) everyday! This one is really big and nice but this is generally what they look like!

We had Zone Conference on Wednesday with Elder Duncan- It was AMAZING! We just felt so energized to just forget ourselves and go to work. He is expecting us to do bigger and better things- it is because we really are the some of the best the church has ever had and it's a huge blessing!

 

 

 Some of the ladies who leave with us! There's 11 gringas in total!

 

 

 

 Found in a less active's house. Their reasoning? "It was raining and I didn't want them to get wet"

We cleaned a pila! 

Pila= a large bath tubish thing that you find in any Latino home. They get water here to wash clothes, cook food, anything! Because water doesn't come consistently, you fill up your pila and well any container you have so you can save as much water as possible. But many people have them outside so they can get really dirty. So we went to an investigator (Nixi) and her mom said she had to clean the pila before we could teach her. So we went to work!

 

 

 

This pila is one of the biggest I've seen! They're normally like.... a fourth of this size.

On Thursday we left to Tegucigalpa to go to (I think that's what they call it in English...) Mission Leadership Counsel! (or for those spanish speakers, "consejo") The bus ride is about 3 hours so I took some pictures of Honduras!

 

 So beautiful!

Consejo was even better than zone conference! Basically just took everything Elder Duncan taught at zone conference and upped it up a level. We had the opportunity to go to the temple after and just meditate and ponder all that we learned!

We didn't get any pictures but just as we were about to leave, we saw a member from Mira Flores (hermana Groll served in my exact area in Mira Flores so she knew her too!)

 

 We love you Hermana Linda!

Well... Changes are this week! And Hermana Groll is probably leaving :( but we are still giving it our all and doing all we possibly can!

I love you- more than a cold bag of water on a hot Cholutecan day!
