And the WINNER is...

HONDURAS San Pedro SulaLeaving August 18th




I think that Leslie was the closest guess with El Salvador. I bet you will never guess where Leslie served her mission :) I think I may still get a little something for her.

I am glad that Carter is going to have this "right of passage". It will be a great experience for all of us and hopefully the 2 years will go by quickly. Bart is excited that he and Carter will be able to speak Spanish together at Sunday dinners. I wanted Carter to go to an island but Honduras is pretty close-it's in the Caribbean and surrounded by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I hope we can do a Book of Mormon tour and go pick him up-selfish I know. Below is a little info on Honduras. Please don't tell my mom any scary stories about central America.


Honduras is a republic inCentral America. It was formerly known as Spanish Honduras to differentiate it from British Honduras (now Belize). The country is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea.
Its size is just over 112,000 km² with an estimated population of almost eight million.
Its capital is Tegucigalpa.
