Hi friends!
Here are some things you perhaps did not know about Honduras:
You can always tell a true Honduran because they point with their lips.
Women still nurse their babies in public.
Most Hondurans live day to day and hand to mouth. I have witness women buying
three diapers at a time.
The cost of beans is higher than the cost of chicken. Their has been flooding and I
guess they lost a lot of their bean crop.
Younger people favor more liberal causes and leaders and the older folks seem to
favor conservatives. (I´ve been conducting my own personal poll down here).
People still carry things on their heads.
Friday my deaf friend, Bralin, and his mother and I will travel to San Padro Sula to see
a specialist. She was recommended by the church and also by his school. The parents
and grandmother and I all met with the director at the school he just completed. It
was very interesting. No computer and they don´t use American Sign Language,
which I am so sorry for. He would need that if he were ever going to go on a mission.
They sign with something that is specific to Honduras. The alphabet for both of them,
however, look the very same to me. He currently does not sign with any depth only
very basic signs. How sad.
It should cost $30 to see the specialist. He has not been checked since he was 4 when
he was fitted for hearing aids. At four, he did not like them. Anyway it will be interesting
to see what she has to say. Next week I will fill you in on the rest of the story
