Hola everyone!
What a quick week! It feels like yesterday I was just writing you guys!
First I'm gonna explain a bit about my area Morazan. I learned the other day that Morazan was a revolution leader that basically helped all of Central America become independent of Spain. So on
September 15 they have Independence day which celebrates a lot about him. He would sort of be the equivalent of George Washington for the US. Like I have explained the area is a little town in the middle of nowhere. The only part that is kind of city is a little street that is called Centro or center. There aren't any fast food restaurants other than a place called Pollolandia which just sells fried chicken. And there are like 5 of them on one street haha. The only paved road is the road on Centro and the road that connects to the highway. As for our meals go we have a lady that cooks lunch for us everyday. Dinner is what is sometimes hard. Sometimes we have a dinner appointment but not usually just because there are only like 6 Relief Society sisters and 3 of them live together haha. So we usually will just buy baleadas on the street which cost like 50 cents each. We are slowly trying to find which baleada stand we like the most. The branch is very small. The regular attendance is about 30. There are only 5 active priesthood holders in the branch. 2 of them are us, and the others are the branch president and 2 future missionaries with their calls. So it is definately a growing branch and that is what we are here for.
This week we went on divisions with the zone leaders twice.
On Tuesday Elder Lima and I went to their area, Santa Rita, which is about an hour and a half bus ride away. I got to do some visits with my zone leader Elder Pop from Guatemala.
On Friday my other zone leader Elder Vance came to Morazan and Elder Lima went to Santa Rita. Elder Vance is a gringo from Kentucky. We talked a lot about movies that are coming out this next year haha. There is a big difference in movies that gringos like and latinos like. Latinos LOVE Fast and Furious. I have never seen a Fast and Furious all the way through. Gringos LOVE Star Wars. Most Latinos have never seen Star Wars. It is just kind of funny to see that difference. Because of the divisions the week went by really fast. Something good about this week was that we were able to find a lot of people while contacting. It felt good to have some success after a little drought.
Super happy to hear about all the homecomings and all the farewells. Congratulations to Tanner! Also good luck to Grant and to Devin as they start on their awesome adventures! Also big shoutout to Brandt who is turning 23
! Love you bro! Thanks for all the love and support guys! Hope you have an awesome week.
