Chapter 63: Intercambio tras intercambio

 Hello hello!
It's been a fun week, I'm healthy again, which is nice.

Intercambio Mania:
Tuesday morning we got a call from the Assistants saying that they wanted to do an intercambio with us after our district meeting! So I packed my bag and spent the day (and night) in an area called Carrizal with Elder Leyva! (I forgot my camera, so no pictures... sorry) It was really fun and we worked really hard. We also talked about some of the challenges we've been having in my district, my companionship, the zone, etc. and I got a lot of good advice and direction. It was an awesome learning experience.

When I got home Wednesday morning, I unpacked and packed again because I had planned an intercambio with some Elders in my district so I spent all day Wednesday with Elder Dansie in Germania, and we had a good day too.
Then, Wednesday afternoon I got a call from the Zone Leaders saying that Thursday morning was Leader's Council and that they were inviting all the district leaders to come, too. So on Thursday morning we met up with Elder Schade (the other district leader in my zone) and we did another division so that our companions could work in our area while we were in the Leader's Council. I didn't get home until Thursday night, when I finally got to sleep in my own bed for a change.

But with all the interchanges, divisions, and the Leader's Council, I've received a lot of good instruction that I hope to be able to apply to my area and to help lift up the missionaries in my district.

Other stuff:
-Today there was a power outage in most of the country from 11am to 2pm so that was interesting. Kinda threw a wrench in our Pday plans.

-El Día del Niño was last Tuesday. All my life I was wondering when was children's day. Turns out in Central America, it's September 10th

-Guava juice is good, but only if you make it right (@Bishop)

Anyway, hope you all have a good week! Make good choices!

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...
