This man just came up to me and he said, " The Oooh, Essay, Ah is playing right now."  I thought, "What is the Oooh, Essay, Ah?" Then I realized that's how you say USA in Spanish. Normally people just say Los Estados so I  was a little confused for a second.  EL MUNDIAL HAS STARTED. President just emailed us and told us that we could watch the games. When my companion read it to me and i was was so excited!  PUEDO CREER LO. We are so excited. The world of Honduras can't focus on anything else so the work is slow right now. What a fun place to be with the World Cup going on, though. Honduras lost on Sunday but we weren't allowed to leave the apartment while they were playing. I guess they get pretty into it and it can be dangerous. The fireworks are constant here lately because every goal anyone scores the people light off fireworks. Super fun. It is also terrifying because sometimes it sounds like gunshots. The fireworks are different here.

We found the best family ever. All we have done this week is pray for someone who can progress and we decided to just walk and walk and walk to this part of our area that we have never been to. We were about to turn around because there was nothing out there when we spotted this little hut on a ton of gorgeous land. We walked up to it and this family of 6 was sitting outside enjoying each other's company. We asked if we could visit and they let us in. We taught a little and they said they want to go to church! They just showed up to church yesterday! We didn't even have to invite twice. They went to our Noche de Hermanamiento, too. They are SUPER PILAS. We are so excited. The two oldest kids and the dad can't read, but the 10 year old and the mom can read so they have been reading the Book of Mormon out loud to the family. They are coming to a family home evening with us tonight. We are thrilled to have such a cute family and praying they stay as committed as they have been! 

It hasn't stopped raining all week which sounds fun, but actually it is hard to be wet all the time. It rains so hard that our umbrellas leak. The streets don't have gutters  so the streets are actually rushing rivers. It's about knee high. That sounds like it would be really pretty,  authentic, and awesome but it's the nastiest trash water with animal gunk in it. When it rains we don't have power or water so we just feel dirty all the time. Good thing I learned from my momma to laugh it off. We have actually come to love these adventures. I am grateful that God has given me these crazy adventures. I love adventures SO MUCH!


We had a Ron Ron in our apartment when the lights where out and it was the nastiest and scariest thing ever.  Hermana O didn't help me kill it. I just had to be brave enough and it was nasty. It was the size of my face.

We also had a very large terranchula in our house this week. I am not scared of spiders but...ewww90.

Hermana Orgill's unfortunate moment of the week: She bought a suitcase for 650 Limps and we were walking back to the bus through all the city and the wheels fell off. She dragged her suitcase without wheels all the way to Mezapa and the Elders and I were laughing so hard. She did not think it was funny. Pobresita. Worst luck ever.

Family Atunez--please keep them in your prayers. They need to get married before they can be baptized and they have basically no money to do that so that will be a challenge. Sometimes I just want to pay for it! It's literally only like 50 American dollars to get married.It breaks my heart.

I love all of you and you are all in my prayers! Loves and kisses!
