Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hermana Vergara and I had a good week. It was a little long and a little hard, but we're smiling and pushing forward, and we're happy! And we're especially happy because we got to nap today. Sleeping is theeeeeeeee best.This week the missionaries and some of the members of our branch had a few choir practices because we were going to sing during sacrament meeting on Sunday. So one night Hermana Vergara and I showed up to the chapel a little bit early, and no one had gotten there yet (I don't remember if I've put this in a past email, but there isn't a church building here in Mezapa, so we meet in a little house that's been converted to a chapel. #ghetto). Anyway, we sat down under this super big tree to wait for the elders to get there and open the church. And there were a freaking ton of bats flying around this tree. And I mean A TON. And like most people here in Honduras, these bats don't know what personal space is, and they were just flying around super close to your face and I was like, "NO MORE." So we left the tree.
The end.
Just kidding. It's not the end because it gets better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But maybe I'll get converted into Batwoman or something and then it will all be worth it.
So last week I was complaining about having to eat pig brain, but life just keeps getting better and better because this week I had to eat pig tail and pig feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was disgusting. There's just something about seeing little pig hooves on your plate that makes you lose your appetite. And then they handed me this little piece of tail and were like, "Just eat around the bone!" And while I was eating/trying not to throw up, I could only think of one thing:
My mind was going crazy, like, "Holy crap, I'm eating Dudley Dursley. Like I'm pretty sure cannibalism isn't a good thing, but okay...."
Hermana Vergara and I always see this one old guy in our area who rides around on a bicycle selling avocados. So, avacados are the best things ever, and whenever I see him I want to buy one but I never have any money with me. Anyway, one day we started talking with him, and he started flirting with me (#casual), and was like, "What would you say if I gave you an avacado for free?" And I was like, "Umm...thank you?" And then he gave me a free avacado. He was like, "A beautiful avacado for a beautiful muchacha. And from now on, every time I see you, I'm going to give you a free avacado." #SCORE. Hopefully we see each other often, old man!
And lol, this week we did indeed see each other often. We ran into him two more times. But he's a man of his word, and each time he gave me a free avacado. Maybe Mezapa isn't that bad after all...

And I've already started freaking out about coming home in just a little over five months. It's super weird because I feel like I've been a missionary my whole life and I'm just super confused and conflicted and scared to come home because what am I even going to do and who am I even going to be. And like wow. Emotions are stressful sometimes. And then Hermana Vergara played me this song, and I just started crying because WOW THE MISSION IS JUST THE BEST THING EVER OKAY AND I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.
