Christensen Honduras Mission: Roatan

Our 2nd trip to Roatan. We took this small little commuter plane. I am not a fan. It was bumpy and had no air moving inside and I was air sick. It was not too fun. We got there and we went to the beach for a few hours for our p-day. We drove to the beach and got situated and our phones starting ringing. Kirt was dealing with missionary issues and I was dealing with health issues the whole afternoon. It really ruined our beach time. Plus I got bit by a bunch of sand fleas. One of the issues I was dealing with we a missionary that got bit by a dog. The missionary didn't remember what the dog looked like and didn't know who it belonged to, so in that case if they don't know the dogs history and can't watch the dog to see if it develops rabies the missionary needs a rabies booster shot. We of course were too far away to do it and I couldn't find another nurse to do it, so I talked 2 missionaries through the process. They did a great job. Way to go Elder Jorgensen and Elder Miles. After the beach we went to a Thai restaurant. I think this is going to be the tradition when going to Roatan. We haven't found a Thai restaurant in San Pedro and Thai is my favorite. Sunday we went to both branches on Roatan. Then we went to a baptism at the Cruz family home. Since the church is still not open because of the remodeling, there is no baptismal font so the Cruz family lets the missionaries use their pool. After the baptism, Kirt did interviews with the 4 missionaries in the Roatan branch that were at the baptism, Elders Axtell and Da la Cruz, and Hermanas Griffiths and Castillo. Then we went and did interviews with the Elders in Los Fuertes, Elders Tosca and Lemus. Then we went to dinner with the Roatan Elders and Hermanas. The house was in straight up a dirt road and the car wouldn't make it so we had to get out and walk. It really was straight up and it started pouring rain right before we got there. Thankfully the husband of the family we were visiting came down the hill with an umbrella and let me use it. Very tender mercy. And I didn't die walking back down the muddy hill. The food was delicious and it was nice to visit with the Elders and Hermanas. Plus they all speak English, so I even understood the conversation. We went back to the Airbnb and the power was out. We did our missionary fireside by candle light. The theme of the fireside was how to be a good missionary. Hermana Pritchett and Elder Adanaque spoke. The next morming we got up and flew back to San Pedro. I'm not sure I'm a fan of Roatan.
