Tiroteo (gunfire)

Well, this week has been a real charmer.

Really all we did this week was work work work.

I did almost got shot though. There was a drive-by on the street we were on, and bullets literally flew by us.  You could hear the ricochet of the bullets.

But then the day after there was another shooting. Some pandilleros (gang members) dressed up as police officers, stopped a bus and shot and killed 5 men. Ya we saw it right after it happened. 

It's kind of weird here. When someone gets shot, everyone comes out of their houses to see it, they then crowd around the body and start to take pictures and stuff. Then the news crews get there, and just film the dead body, like they are expecting something to happen. It's ridiculous.

Hey but we did have our stake conference here in the stake of Satellite!! It was super good. Elder Olfonso (70) came, and blew everyone away. It was so amazing. He talked on the miracles of Christ and how we don't really appreciate them. He then talked about how we can work more effectively as missionaries and members. It was super uplifting.

The other cool thing this week was a wedding. Some of our recent investigators got married this week. An ACTUAL WEDDING in Honduras... Amazing. We helped with the decorations, making and putting them up.

I made the sign for the wedding, with my comp that is seen in the background... It was really hard.

Another week in the ghetto, serving the Lord as an Elder, yo.

me making some dope tortillas de maiz!
