My last week until the real deal! Wow it has been fun. And I've come a long way. Tomorrow we have our 2nd set of divisions (!!!), friday and saturday are our "learning about the field" days, Sunday is devotional, and then Monday we go to Las Colinas one more time. Cant wait!
This week FLEW by as usual! Wednesday through Saturday was class, and then Sunday was church. I played a special musical number AND had to give a talk! Very stressful. But very fun :) We are all supposed to write talks every week, and then you get called on at random from the pulpit. Pretty fun! Also I cant remember if I told you--I am the ONLY piano player here! It is so weird. I think I was one in a MILLION in my ward at BYU. So I have had lots of time to play, pretty much every meeting with an opening hymn. The latinos (and a few of the northamericans!) always want to learn how to play, so I taught them the tune for Cristifori's Dream by david lanz. You can hear someone playing it almost all the time. Its funny :)
I cant remember if I've told you about the workers here but they are hilarious! Francesco is the gardener, and he says "Hola! Como estamos?" in the FRIENDLIEST way Ive ever heard :) Mirsa runs the cafeteria, and she makes the funniest jokes about the food. And Alfonso is the guard every other day. He actually sleeps in a little room out by the court! Me and Hermana Fuka (shes Tongan, and HILARIOUS! I cant wait to send pics of our district) have been teaching him English and trying our hand at the gospel lessons with him. He is the friendliest guy and so funny. Anyway he has been committed to baptize ever since weve been here, but last week he finally picked a date for him and his family! We are so excited for him.
On Friday night we had Culture Night in our class, and we got to learn about all of our missions! Also Ecuador, cause thats where our teacher went. I will add details later, but for now, I just want to say that in Honduras, they eat this soup called Jute, and it is Coconut Milk, Bananas, and FISH. Yikes!!! Thank goodness there is none of that here :)
Im not sure if I will get a chance to email next week (we dont know when pday is in the field yet) but Im ALMOST positive Presidente Christensen lets us have a little email time after Las Colinas on Monday. Hopefully I can write then!
