Monday night, we received
a phone call saying that I would be leaving Puerto Cortés. Many
emotions filled my heart. I love Puerto Cortés, and Tuesday showed me
that they truly love me as well. As I began packing, we received a text
message saying I would be training!!! AH! Hahahaha, at nine months, I
have my first daughter, hahaha :)
Tuesday was spent saying good-bye to all the
wonderful people I have met and loved in Puerto Cortés. Many tears were
shed, and I felt an immense love from this people. Saying good-bye to
Tiara and Yolany and Rodolfo was rough. They didn't want me to go, nor
did I want to leave, but such is mission life. I dearly hope I can come
back one day. They are the sweetest family, and I will never forget
them. At night, we went to Hermana Mery's house where they had a piñata
and a good part of the ward there to say good-bye. I felt so loved. I
do miss Puerto and I miss Hermana Luna. She was an incredible
companion and is an incredible missionary. She taught me how to become
the missionary I want to be, and she has become a close friend. I'm
going to be doing a LOT of world traveling after this mission to visit
these marvelous people I have met in Honduras.
Wednesday morning we arrived at El Benque building
for la reunión de cambios. During the trainers meeting that take place
before the normal meeting, Presidente accidentally let it slip who I
would be training...and then Hermana Luna let it slip to my
companion...hahaha...whoops... :)
Well, I am currently in the Castaños ward, and I am
finishing up the training of Hermana Robles, from Peru!! Hermana Robles
has already been here 6 weeks, so I am her stepmother because her
trainer, Hermana Bayles, went home this transfer. IT IS SO MUCH FUNNNN.
Hermana Robles is also the mission nurse, so we spend some of our time
on the phone talking with sick missionaries or going to doctor's
appointments. It's pretty rad. :) I have ALWAYS wanted to be the
nurse's companion, and now I get to train her too! She is a certified
nurse and worked as one for 4 or 5 years before her mission. She just
turned 27, so it's as though I have Jessica for a companion!! I love
it. :)
Oh, plus we live in an appartment with two other sisters, so every day is a partayyyy. I couldn't be happier. :)
These
days I've just been getting to know the area and getting to know new
people, so that's fun. Yesterday, one family invited us to their house
for dinner, and I thought we had taken a short plane ride back to the
U.S. because their house was huge. And so nice. And so lovely
decorated. WE EVEN ATE ROLLS FOR DINNER. Needless to say, I am
thoroughly enjoying mission life. :) hahahaha
El Mundial es LOCO aquí! Everyone is celebrating or dressed in soccer jerseys. And every single TV is turned to that channel.
WELL I love you LOTS!!
LOVE,
Hermana Grondel :)
