"You don't have to like it, you just have to eat it"

Hey fam and friends it's nice to talk to you again!!

THis week was pretty cool. We found a family that lives in a little town called "catrachos". Catracho is basically a redneck but for the people here in Honduras. I don't know if it's on the map or anything but the town is far away from where we live. We normally take a moto-taxi to go there and then we walk the long path back haha. It's about 4.5 Kilometers is what my comp and I figured out( sorry I don't know how to convert that to miles haha). But anyways we were looking there for a reference from the Branch President and we found them!! They're an awesome fam. 5 kids and the parents. The PERFECT size for a family ;) (same size as mine). The oldest is 11 and then goes down from there. But they're so cool. They are always willing to have us in their home and the kids have so much energy holy cow!! They run around the "yard" a bajillion times while we are teaching but it's ok. The problem here in central america is a lot of the couples are just living together. So basically everytime we ask if they're married they say yes and then we ask if it's legally and they say know. Haha I don't know if you can say you're married if it's not legal..... but ya anyways we've been teaching them and they're really interested in us helping them get married and they really love families and awe man hopefully they'll progress because they're awesome!!

I was reading in my scriptures this week and read Mosiah 7:33. It's a good scripture and you can take a break from doing whatever and go read it. Trust me it's not one of those super long scriptures! But after I read it I decided that I wanted to mark all the scriptures with a tab that have to do with Comfort, Motivation, Hope, Courage etc. Basically scriptures that'll make me feel good. I have started but I wanna hear from you. What scriptures can you think of that help pick you up? (please send them cuz I wanna read/mark them)

Oh haha and last but not least the reason for the title. So we were in a less active member's house and we were teaching the dad cuz he's not a member. It was an awesome lesson and they were super nice and open to what we were teaching. After we finished the lesson they asked if we wanted some juice. As we were walking to their table they asked us if we wanted something. I didn't understand them cuz my spanish vocab isn't too big but I didn't turn them down and so niether did my comp......... Oh how I wish we did hahaha. They put a plate with a leg of a pig and them some rice, beans and then she made some solid tortillas. But can you believe it?!?!?!?! I ATE THE LEG OF A PIG!!!! It was gross cuz it still had some little hairs and it was basically grisle. Oh man the famous quote in our fam from My Grandpa Davis (I think it's from him) is "You don't have to like it, you just have to eat it!" This phrase is gonna help me in hard times like that one
