Return to Honduras

Last Wednesday after dropping Danika off at the MTC, I flew out to Honduras to do some mends on the temple walls down there.  We did the project in June of 2012 but the walls need mending and I was to teach the locals how to mend any future issues.  Honduras was an adventure.  It was hot and beautiful there, but the nights were hot and it’s hard to sleep.   As with all my temple projects, it has also been a trial, challenge and filled with faith, tears and lots of prayers.  But also like all my temple projects, I have seen miracles and answers to prayers.  Excerpt below from my letter to Danika.

"I also started training Gina, a sweet artist lady.  She speaks limited English and I speak very little Spanish so it was a four hour adventure...but it's amazing how much you can understand working together by ourselves.  She will come back tomorrow when the translator temple engineer is here so I can make sure she understood everything." 

In the end, things turned out well, Gina thanked me for letting her "share in the art passion" and while she didn't speak much English, I realized she understood most of what I was telling her.  The country and people are beautiful and I feel it a privilege to have been part of this temple.
