Crazzzzzzyyy couple of weeks.The 28th of November was transfers for the mission and start of hell week for the secretaries.
Tuesday- So Tuesday the 28th we were running all over the place, picking up the new people from the airport, handing out packages, agendas and a bunch of other crap to missionaries, meetings for all the new missionaries, we had to take all the people going home to the assistants house along with their bags, and then to top it off we had to prepare a church building for a big meeting with an area 70.
Wednesday &Thursday- So Wednesday and Thursday the mission had two meetings with the Elder Cordon, half on Wednesday and half on Thursday, Which means we had to make sure that lunch was served, that everyone had water, and that all the mics and tec were working properly. Then prez told us we were going to have our leadership meeting on Friday. So we were running around, getting everything ready and doing stuff all over again. Needless to say we didnt sleep lol. But everything got crazy on Thursday night when we were heading to set up for the leadership meeting, our prez called us and told us to stop everything and head home. Without asking we turned the truck around and went back to our house. The next morning we figured out why he made us go home.
Friday, Saturday, &Sunday- (So Honduras is in the middle of election process right now and its quite a bit less professional then voting in the states hahah. But apparently the votes are written on pieces of paper and then counted one by one. So Sunday the 26th the elections were held and seeing as it takes FOREVER to count votes by hand they didn't get the official winner till Wednesday. The crazy thing is the guy who is the current president didnt win and because of that he made them do a recount, that made the people reallllllll angry. Apparently the current prez Juan Orlando isn't a great dood and is trying to become kind of like a dictator so the people were really mad when their candidate didn't win. so they started rioting, burning tires, robbing grocery stores, and blowin things up.) Anyways so Friday morning at like 430am we were supposed to take a sister missionary to the airport cause she finished her mission, but on the way to the office to get her passport we saw a huge blockade of people on the road with guns and fire so before we could get close we skrrted around and headed to the house. It was sooo scary but also like super dope. So we called prez and he said ya forget about it we´ll send her home another day. Poor girl had to wait like 4 more days to go home lol. but later that day prez sent out a text that said we all had to stay in our houses on lock-down till further notice. So that´s what we did. The ENTIRE MISSION couldn't leave their houses. this lock-in lasted 4 days. It consisted of a whole lot of Uno, sleeping, skating, and a lil studying i guess lol. It was the break we needed after hell week. Everytime we tried to call prez to try and do our sec jobs he would get mad and tell us not to worry and to just stay safe. Sooo we pretty much took that as his way of giving us a vacation. On Sunday there was no church Honduras wide. It was a crazy weekend.
Monday- Monday prez let us out for a couple hours to write our families and to buy more supplies.
Tuesday till Today- We started to be able to go out and work and do our sec jobs, but still on a fixed schedule. Prez is still on his toes ready for anything seeing as they still havent officially announced the new president. But we are in this weird state of waiting, because we all know that things aren´t back to normal yet but we are still supposed to work like normal. There is a whole lot of gossip running around the mission about us getting locked down again, us getting moved to different missions, and a ton of other stuff. But we really wont know anything till they announce the new prez. As soon as the new president is elected thats when the riots might pick up again or the people might chill down, all depends on the winner.
As far as me, i´m doing all good just anxious to find out whats gonna happen down here lol. Love you guys.
