Parangaricutirimícuaro Hi friends! This week I have learned several tongue twisters in Spanish! They are very difficult put fun to listen to! I'll include them in the email today.  If you have any cool tongue twisters (in any language) that you want to test me with, please send them my way! I'll try to learn them as best I can!!! This has been an interesting week! First of all! Two amazing members who have helped missionaries tremendously - Karen and Melissa, have officially left the country and moved on to their new homes. I'm extremely sad to see them go, especially since they have helped us a ton with visiting friends and finding meals when our pensionista is out-of-town.  I wish luck to each of them and hope they have success and happiness in their new homes! We visited each of them to say goodbye, and spent a bunch of time visiting new people over in one of the bordos that I don't usually visit. It's fun to go there, but it's pretty far (comparatively speak...

Hi friends! I hope you are all doing well!  This week has been a fun one!  Though I’m a funny being and like to stress myself out for no reason! First, some fun events of the week! We had a Multi-zone conference where I had the privilege of participating in the musical number.  Elder Snyder and Elder Porter sang the Primary song: We’ll Bring the World His Truth (Army of Helaman), while I played the accompaniment on the piano.  It super fun to do, and I’m proud of the version of the song I found because it was: easy to learn, pretty to hear, easy to translate to Spanish (the Spanish version of the song is a little bit different), and worked well for 3 verses of the song.  In the end, it was amazing to perform up there with two amazing missionaries and enjoy a beautiful multi-zone conference. After the conference, Elder Snyder and I split off and went to the Jardines area, while Elder Randall and Elder Davila went to Las Brisas.  It was an amazing adventure t...

Hi friends! I hope you all had a great mothers day!  I had an amazing one because I was able to call my mother and wish her a wonderful holiday!  I love my mother so much and I so grateful for the light he pours into my life.  She always knows how to help me feel better. She shows me how to find the light, especially when I am lost.  I love her, and I love all of you. This week has been ... an eventful one. Mainly (though I know most Honduran missionaries have been talking about this), the heat here has been insane, with it feeling like 115+ every day.  I feel like the Pulhapanzak Waterfalls that I visited a few months ago - I just can't keep any water inside of me! A side effect of the heat are nearly daily power outages going on where I live.  Almost every day, from 6pm to 10pm, we've been without power.  It sucks because we're not supposed to visit when the power is out (and it's night), so we've been stuck hanging out at our house or at the homes o...
