Mother's Day Video Call

Elder Vazquez and I spent Sunday afternoon talking with our families for Mother's Day. It was great!

It was a great day for the Roberts family.  The next time we speak it will be face to face and we will be able to wrap him in our arms.

We loved seeing his smiling face and hearing his voice.

We had a wonderful visit, he told of wonderful people and cool and crazy mission experiences, and lots of fun random happenings.  He says transportation there is crazy.  He has been hit by cars (mom is freaking out!), one time where he actually rolled over the hood and the driver just kept going.  The area he is in right now isn't the safest, but he says he feels protected.  As an example... his area or bus stop is called Tres de Mayo and a bus conductor actually announced his stop as the Tres de Meido (which means fear).  He says people hop on buses and sell food and he really likes the corn.  His favorite Honduran food is still the same as it was at Christmas and last Mother's Day, Baleada’s.  He told us a couple of Spanish jokes.  He has grown an inch. (Crazy... that would put him at 6'4") Time flys. He is doing great and is really happy.  We love our son! We are beyond amazed and proud!

Elder Roberts shares his testimony with us in Spanish. He has been in the mission field for 16 months and 14 days.

His favorite Honduran food... Baleada's... still?... always.

What did the Jaguar say to the other Jaguar?

His worn shoe.  He walks everywhere. Christian packed two pairs of dress shoes and his athletic shoes for working out.  He bought a pair of nice boots in his first area.  After about 6 months he took them to be resoled and the guy said he lost them, and ended up confessing that he actually sold them. (maybe it was just a misunderstanding...? Please sole my shoes.... I sold your shoes. XD)

a clip of him showing us his worn shoes

(we are sending a new pair that will be delivered by Mission on the Fly at the end of the month. yay!)

we love Elder Vazquez. He is a fun guy!

210 more days until these two friends are reunited. Enzo misses his brother.
