Bienvenidos a HONDURAS!



Hola a todos!

So I am here, as you figured by now I am sure! I am loving it so far. The weather is nice here in the training site. We are on the side of a mountain and it is kinda chilly here, especially at night. The days are nice when the sun is out. I actually got pretty sun burnt last Sunday when I didn’t realize how sunny it was.
My health group is pretty cool … I think we have a lot of different people that bring all sorts of experiences with them.

My family here in Santa Lucia is great too. I have a 17yr old sister Elisa and a 25 yr old Sister Melissa. Melissa is married and has a 7 month baby named Genesis. Mom is in the house all day long watching the baby while Melissa works. My brother is also married and has 2 kids, Michol and Nayeli. They are always hanging around the house. It took me along time to figure out who everyone was but I finally figured it all out after many questions.

I was placed into the intermediate level in Spanish which is great because that is what we need to be at to pass and be sworn in! Class is long and tiresome. It gives me a headache because I am thinking so hard all day long. But it is getting better and I am learning a lot.

Haven’t been sick so far! But I am always anticipating the worst. We eat a lot of beans and tortillas. Tortillas with every meal you could imagine, soup, rice, eggs, meat, everything!

I will try to post some pictures of my room and things on here but the internet is kind a slow sometimes.

Adios!
