The Terror of the Bananas 🍌
Just finishing up my second week in Honduras. 🇭🇳 Things have been going pretty smoothly. We spend the first half of the day doing personal, companion, and language study. Along with a couple of other things to get ready for the day. After that, we usually go get lunch, before heading out to teach people. We teach till about 6 or 7, then we return for dinner and then hit up one or two houses after before calling it a night. 🏡
This week we went shopping on P-day, and bought some cereal, milk, and bread. 🛍 Along with a few small snacks. We usually have cereal or toast for breakfast cause it's easy and quick, but we plan on making pancakes one of these days. 🥞 We also went into town and got some Popeyes. That was pretty good. Also, apparently every few weeks they do companion exchanges for a day. So I ended up spending a day with Élder Balsells. It was different, because he is more in the city area and has an apartment instead of a house. 🌃 There were also a lot less people willing to hear our messages than here in El Por Venir. It was ok though.
I've also gotten to try a bunch of different foods here. I don't hate any of them yet, except for fried bananas. 🍌 Those are gross and squishy and sweet, and make me gag, so i can't even force them down like other foods I don't like. Normal bananas are just fine. I also tried a sort of Oatmeal Smoothie. It was okay, It could use some work. I've also tried beleadas which are amazing. They're basically a tortilla folded in half with beans, cheese, and sometimes other stuff like eggs. 🤤 I've also eaten spaghetti, rice and sausages mixed together. 🍝
I also got to help some guy with cutting branches and got to use a machete. 🗡 That was fun to use. We also lost water for a day or two, along with power, but that only went out for an hour or so. 💧 🔋 wasn't that bad, we just had to use reserve water we had stocked in water bottles. I think our water returned Sunday, late afternoon or so.
