Time for Elder Katashima to Come Home

Kimo said he found these horns and that a member painted them up for him.

That's the Honduran flag on the left horn, American on the right and the town of Ojojona in the middle.

The Ortega family with Kimo and Elder Chinchilla.

Kimo said the Ortega family was nice to him and that he had a hard time saying goodbye to them.

It's time for Elder Katashima to come home, but

that means leaving Honduras. Kimo will always have

strong feelings of love for the people he met in Honduras.

So Close to Time to Come Home!

Kimo comes home in a 8 days! 
We can hardly believe it!

Kimo got splashed by a car going by in the rain.

Keeping his backpack dry!

The bus gets crowded sometimes!

Kimo says that this soup made with coconut milk is a favorite of his.

Photos From a Friend

Ran across a blog of another missionary that served 

in the same area as Kimo and copied off some of his

photos of Kimo.

Baptisms!

At the temple with matching outfits--it's a thing.

A member from the ward heard that I could draw, so she asked for a drawing of Dobby from Harry Potter, turned out pretty good!

Star Wars Ties, Temple Pics & Exchanges

We thought Kimo's birthday box got stolen, so we sent another 

box by a different carrier, but it turns out the first box was not stolen!

Doris was so nice to send Kimo two Star Wars ties with the first box and

when she learned the box was stolen, she sent two more ties with 

the second box!  This is Kimo's thank-you note to Doris!
