Roatan is a tropical place. I almost don’t feel like a missionary... not really. We work really hard, but the ocean and the beach and the tourists... It’s just something different.
Right now I’m using email in the "BananaRama." It’s a resort owned by a member and it is where a bunch of members work. He gives us free food and jobs if we want to come back after the mission. It’s a pretty cool place, and I’ll be here for 6 months. Tomorrow we leave for La Ceiba and on Wednesday we have a Multizone. We have to leave tomorrow because we can’t arrive in La Ceiba until 9, and the meeting starts at 8. So it’s basically a second p-day. And supposedly I have 2 packages waiting for me with the zone leaders.
That’s funny that grandma already knew about this place... but it’s true it’s kinda cheap, but not when you think in Limpiras (local money). It’s just ‘cause I’m Honduran now that everything here is way, way way expensive in comparison to San Pedro Sula. But I do absolutely love my new area. That is for sure.
That’s all for now!
Love ya.

Aghh!!!!!!!!!! I wrote a huge letter and it erased itself again!
Ok. I am now companions with an elder from Guatemala named Elder Montes. And in order to get to my new area we had to wait until the day after changes. We had to wait because... we had to take a boat to ...ROATAN!!! It’s the biggest area in the mission, and I’ll be here for at minimum 6 months. Grandma should stop by since she loves the whole cruise thing. Royal Caribbean has a dock close to our house. One thing for those that write me real letters: it takes around 15 days for a letter to arrive in San Pedro Sula (and 10 via Dear Elder) and then another 5 to get to Ceiba (‘cause the secretaries are lazy... haha) and after it will stay there until I have multizone, interviews, or divisions with the ZLs (week long) at which point I will mail all the letters I will write to you (I will still write every week) so I will recieve your mail every 3 to 4 weeks and the same with you! Sorry for the inconvenience, but... I’m in Roatan...and because I’m here everything is way expensive so we use internet for less time, so if you have questions you gotta send them by Monday!
Love ya!

OK, this week we baptized and confirmed Cesar. I did the baptism personally because he asked me to since I was the person who knocked his door. Cesar took us out to eat at this Chinese food place (cause he wanted to avoid places where people might be drinking on a Saturday night), and on Sunday brought his girlfriend (who also loves the church) and will baptize her either this Saturday or next. The only problem is I have a change (am being transferred).
Tomorrow I have to go around to all my converts and awesome member families and say goodbye. Wednesday we have to get up at 3 am to catch the 4 o’clock bus for San Pedro Sula. I probably won’t ever visit this amazing climate again, and I’m way bummed ‘cause I’m probably going to the heat heat heat of San Pedro.
OK cool story. Elder Fernandez and I (my comp from the MTC) had divisions for a baptismal interview. So (being gringos with a little more money than latino missionaries) we decided to eat Chinese. And the lady who owns the place bet me I couldn’t eat the whole family size plate of rice by myself. She said if I could do it she’d give us a second free. So I buckled down and ate it all, and then Elder Fernandez got his full as well. hahaha
Love you. That’s all!!
