Directions with Lips, Bus Rides and Almost Text Messages

Here's the latest letter from Elder Clayton.  He was able to be on the computer at the same time as us, so I will include our conversations back and forth.  That is so sweet.  Like text message...almost. I still miss him like crazy, but I don't worry about him.  He's in good hands.
Well another week down of pretty much being lost haha man this place is crazy you want to know why im lost well first of all everyone points with their lips and second whenever we see anyone we are talking to and are like oh where do you live they point with their lips and say ahi (over there) my house is the one by the mango tree and thats way sweet except that there are 250000 mango trees here man directions are ridiculous. anyways i understand more im still freaking lost but am doing better i think anyways so ya right now were teaching a couple of people this one hombre named Jose Manuel way tight he knows i cant speak spanish so usually hell ask my a question and if i have no idea what he said im usually like No Se and then i just laugh thats really all i can do so ya. Anyways ya i dont know what to write ask some questions.

Elder Clayton:  Hows it going today? Ya the trip to the house was insane but a typical welcome to Honduras i guess ya my house is a little rough but its alot nicer than the others around here.
Haha a place with a big Pepsi sign those are called pulperias and they are all over the place with either pepsi or coke signs haha so ya ive probably seen it once or twice. So the ward its small yesterday there were 90 members in assistance so ya..... but theyre all nice i have no idea what is being said at the meetings and things but whatver they speak so fast im understanding alot more now but still im a long ways away but...... ya  so the fruit is good no complaints and ya we buy 5 gallon filtered water thats what everybody drinks here is only filtered so we have 5 gallons of water and bags of water too.
Thats sweet its cold there i dont know what that word means and thats a bummer no one drew out for anything i was sure there would have been something but oh well next year right. Ok well I'll talk to you later.
