Hola Amigos,
Hey creeds, I'm back and things have changed quite a bit in this last week. I moved areas all the way from one side of the country to the other. I'm in Las Mercedes. It's pretty close to Tegucigalpa. It's completely different than Guayape. i feel like i just moved from a farm town to New York! There are houses everywhere and the architecture is just crazy! Houses are pretty much stacked on top of eachother and there are stairs all over the place. i really dig it. Our house is super legit too. It has really nice beds instead of matresses on the floor and hot water! A niiiice view! Oh, did I forget to tell you that it has HOT WATER! Anyway, my new comp Zapata is a dope bro if you ask me. He's straight out of Chile, the only Chileno in the mish. He only speaks Spanish so its been very strange. I'm gratefull though because I'm learning a lot. My first day here was pretty nutz. After I unpacked all my stuff we went to work. I was pretty much trippin the whole time because there's so many people, cars, and noise. We went around to some of the members houses so I could get to know them and they are super cool! I was walking along a sketchy street and I heard some bro behind me say something about my watch, so I turned around and the bro looked so sketch man! He had piercings and tatoos everywhere and he pointed at my watched. i was so scared and I had previous experiences with being robbed so I began to take my watch off to give it to him, but he was like broooo relax. I just want to know what time it is haha. i was pretty embarrassed . He shook my hand and walked away. My comp and I were laughing pretty hard. Later that night while we were at a members house eating dinner, let's just say I passed out and was bleeding on my arms and head. haha Okay. Now the next day we did some contacting, but didn't find anything good. We talked to our investigators and got 2 fechas! I really love the investigadors we have. They are really funny and we can actually joke around with them! They are super positive. We have Blanca y Gerardo. They just need to be married. Also, Suyapa y Jessica. They just need to attend church. I'm excited to go ham in this area. That night we got news from Pres Ferm. to get to our houses. It was about 7 pm. Things are nuts with the elecciones around here. We later found out we will be in our houses for about 10 days. Death to that, so we had the opportunity to buy some food and prepare ourselves for that time. We were looking for a store to buy some food but all of the stores were closed. The windows on all of the buildings were smashed in and there was graffiti everywhere saying fuerajoh. meaning out Juan Orlando Hernandez. There's black spots on the streets because people light them on fire every night. We ended up having to buy food from a pulperia. So. these past few days I've been reading and studying, trying to take advantage of the time. The nights are really entertaining because the people schedule certain times to go ham at night. It's usually at 8 oclock and another at 10pm. During these times the people. and I mean everyone. They chant fuerajoh. They have their boobooselas and their fireworks. It's suuuuper loud. With our nice view we have the oppurtunity to see all of this, to see the people running in the streets lighting fires and setting off their firecrackers. My spirituallness is increasing a lot because I've been reading books and scriptures like crazy. if you guys haven't read Our Search for Happiness, I really recomend it. Aight. We have the day today to do some more shopping and write about what the gill is happening out here. I hope you guys all have a wonderfull day.and have a wonderfull one too! Elder Sullivan
