Chapter 20: Sweater Weather (and other baggy stuff)

Hey guys!
What a busy week! As an update: Due to a problem with the electricity in our house, and the fact that the owner has dropped off the face of the earth, Elder Nolasco and I live in a new apartment! Stay tuned next week for photos (no, Connor, we still don't have a washing machine).

But anyway this week was full of stuff that got me really baggy (or homesick, nostalgic, etc. We don't say trunky). For one, the weather! A cold front rolled through this last week and it was really cold! I wore a sweater all week long, it was awesome! It reminded me of the weather I'm used to in mid-November.

Also a lot of stores started playing Christmas music! And the majority is music from the U.S., so I've had Jingle Bell Rock stuck in my head most of the week! Can't wait for Christmas!
Also "Illumina el Mundo" (or Light the World for you gringos) is starting up again! Elder Nolasco and I set up all the stuff in our little church building and we're so excited! Hope everyone back home can participate and help share the wonderful message of the Savior's birth and his role in our lives!

Anyway, besides that nothing much is new! This coming week should be exciting, can't wait to tell you all about it next week! Love you guys!

p.s. if anyone knows where to find pie in Honduras, please notify me or Elder Nolasco before Thanksgiving, thank you

A pie that the Bishop's family from my last ward baked for me when they learned I was getting transfered! Me blinking in front of the Comayagua sign (ft. Elder Murray) Pics with my boy at the temple! (ft. my new suit) Food storage!   Hey guys! Kinda crazy how much the world has changed in these last 7 days. Here's what's new with me: Transfers: I'M FINALLY TRAINING A NEW MISSIONARY!!!! Woohoo! His name is Elder Nabaum, he's from Heber City, Utah. He's a great guy! I'm opening an area in a city called Juticalpa! It's really hot and humid here, but I'm loving it! We're assigned to a small branch called Belen (hence the subject line) and so far so good! We've still only met a few of the members (because thanks to Coronavirus, we didn't have sacrament meeting yesterday) but we're out here doing our best! I'm really happy and we totally called it this transfer! We've been predicting this transfer for a couple weeks now! What is wei...

District Pedicures My Companion and I experiencing a pedicure for the first time Elder Murray dulling our only good knife Celebrating my 20 months on the mission with Cinnabon William's baptism!   Hey guys! This week it was overcast and slightly raining for 3 days which made the weather not that hot for those days, so that was a blessing William's Baptism: Saturday was leap day we celebrated with a baptism!! Our boy William was baptized on Saturday, and even though he doesn't smile in any pictures, we promise he was really happy that day! He's such a wholesome kid and he's really smart too! This week we're going to teach him about the priesthood to prep him to receive the Aaronic Priesthood this week or next! District Pedicures: Our good friend Hermana Cox is ending her mission this week and may have convinced our whole district to get pedicures together... So I got my first pedicure this week. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think it was reall...
