What Up World,
Another week has gone by in the Honduras version of Beverly Hills, and Im loving it. We are working crazy hard, so it feels like time is just flying by. You have to work super smart here because the people are just not as receptive as the majority of people are in other areas. Its quite fun haha. I guess I will just get right to some stories, because thats what the people want. I guess, I dont know haha. Ummmm I still cant get over how rich people are here. It like baffles my mind. I met a guy who has 3 Rolex's, all around the $10,000 price range. Like, American money. Crazy, right? I keep asking him to trade me, but he hasnt obliged yet. He will soften his heart one day. The majority of houses we go to have air conditioning, which is a whole new thing to the gangster's paradises Ive been living in for the past 10 months. I dont know if I like it more or less haha. Who am I kidding, its awesome. Crazy story time. We are teaching this lady who works in this clothing store closer to San Pedro. One day, she got a call from some gangsters saying she had to pay a "war tax", and that they hope she will follow their instructions so that there isnt a death in the family. That is like a COMMON thing here. Why are people so crazy?!?! We are praying that she will ok, and Im sure she will be, but it is still super scary. On a lighter note, we saw some miracles this week. We had a lesson with this lady that was SO awesome. She is the mom of two girls who are both return missionaries, and pretty much of all her own family is mormon, except her. They have been inviting her to church since essentially the beginning of time, but she has never gone. Well guess what? After our lesson with her, she went for the first time in her LIFE! So sick. It was so awesome. We celebrated the birthday of two missionaries (some of my best friends in the mission) who live in the house with us and have the same birthday, and one who's birthday is on wednesday. It was super fun. Living in a gigantic house with a bunch of cool friends isnt as bad as it sounds...haha. Life is super cool. My comp is the man, my area is sweet, and I seriously cry like every day from laughing so hard. I love the mission. Funny ending note: I am in the center of San Pedro Sula right now at an internet cafe because we had to come here to buy some stuff. In other words, I'm in the murder capital of planet earth. The biggest threat is this little girl sitting in this chair across from me, staring at me because I dont think she has ever seen green eyes. I think she wants to kill me and eat my eyes. Stay classy world!
