Hermana Oram
Alright, I guess I am finishing the year off and starting the new year how typical Hermana Oram would. Sick! I thought now in the city and as enfermera I was done being sick but now I have had a nasty rash the last few days and joint pain. But today I did a blood test and for the record i didn’t cry, faint, or throw up so you could say I am getting pretty tough now. But we are pretty sure everything will come back normal and that it is probably just this weird disease called Zika. But really I don’t feel that sick I am just super red and covered in tons of red bumps but it is cool. Well this week has been a rough one with all the holidays and all that there is no one in the streets and everyone is kind of rude. i guess the Christmas cheer isn’t a thing in Honduras sometimes. But we are having more success with he members and they are helping us more, which is good. I am really starting to lo0ve my new area and the city is fun! Nothing super crazy has happened which is really good. We are always trying to be super careful.

Alright, this week has been really good and fun. We are working a lot in our area, which is a miracle! I am still trying to get used to the city life. It is weird here. We have to take a ton of taxis and cross streets really fast dodging cars. But it is really fun! Well yesterday was the Christmas party and the hermanas enfermeras had the blessed opportunity to help make a sign picture deal (it is kind of hard to explain) but we didn’t know about it until late in the afternoon and they needed the next day so lets just say some late night crafting was going on to get it all finished...office life is weird. I am so so grateful for the protection that we receive as missionaries. I have always had faith that Heavenly Father protects that but I never have really had to exercise that faith until I got here to the city. In my other areas it was super calm nothing ever happened or was going to happen because it was so safe but here.....well I have to exercise a little more faith that we will be protected...and pray a lot. There are lots of prayers being said for protection here. But don’t worry it is the safest area in the city. Well we have an awesome little investigator she is 82 years old or something like that but super super smart and walked all the way to church and is super awesome she will get baptized soon. But the best news is WE HAVE IN-N.OUT IN OUR AREA AND CINNABON THE ONLY IN THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!! but the downside is that I am a poor missionary with a humble allowance in a big city with outrageous taxi fares. But we might splurge a little for Christmas. But yeah I am living in a civilized city with malls and hotels and restaurants. It is a big change from the mountains. But I love it here! I love Hermana Lara she is super awesome. I am learning a ton of things I never thought I would learn on my mission but I am so grateful that I am here and that I have this opportunity.
Feliz Navidad!!!!!!! Hermana Oram Alright well I am writing you this Saturday morning because well I had changes on Wednesday. I was super shocked becasue well I had just gotten to Danli a few months ago and I was excited to have more time there... But the Lord always has a different plan. I got changes to the office here in the city and I am helping Hermana Lara my comp as the nurse. So that means my P-Day got switched to Saturdays that's the deal here in the office. Well our area is Palmira and we actually have a lot of time to work in our area. We havent had to do very much lately all the missionaries are real healthy. But it was a complete shock all of it but office life is fun. We just run around doing little errands really but we have found lots of investigators the last few days and I am really excited about working in Palmira it is the oldest ward in Honduras or something like that but there is lots of work to do. My companion is super awesome she is literally the greatest and we get along super well and thanks to the appendicitis deal a few months ago I already have spent lots of time with her and I know the hospital like the back of my hand so I haven't gotten lost there yet. But the best best best part of all of this is that our house is really nice and we have A HOT SHOWER. I haven't taken a hot shower in over a year. I have never been so happy. We also wash our clothes in a laundromat so I get to say goodbye to pila washing all morning. Lots of big changes are going on but it is fun. It is going to take a little bit to get used to city life but I think I will like it here. Well there isnt much to write because I have only had like 3 days but it is all good. From now on I write really early Saturday morning.
