We had chapel today, which I did the songs for and the rest of the day went well until I had to leave early to bring my parents to Santa Rosa. My dad bought a Honduras jersey before he left and then we dragged their suitcases down to the bus station and were on our way. It was a little stressful making sure the ride to Santa Rosa went alright. The more stressful part was finding a bus to SPS for them when we got to Santa Rosa. I tried my best to find a nicer one for them and the one they were on was alright; it could’ve been better. I waited til they were off and then treated myself to some coffee and got some groceries at the supermarket (two things that are a treat for me). I went back on bus to Gracias and was worried about parents all night. They had no way of contacting me until they got to SPS unless the borrowed someone’s phone. They left Santa Rosa at like 3 so at the latest they should have arrived in SPS around 7. I got a few calls from them on someone else’s phone that they were stuck in traffic coming into SPS and to call the hotel that was going to shuttle them to tell them they would be late. Finally around 8:30-9ish I talked to them and they had made it, barely! They had made so many stops on the way to SPS as well as getting stuck in traffic just outside SPS; my parents were done with the public transportation of Honduras!
