Comayagüela

 
... is Tegucigalpa's sister city.  It is west of the river that divides the capital. 
Comayagüela is considered a sub-city of Tegucigalpa.
 
The Honduras Tegucigalpa Temple is within the Comayaguela Mission boundaries.
It was dedicated by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf on March 17, 2013.
The Tegucigalpa Honduras Temple was the first temple built in Honduras.
The First Presidency announced a temple for Honduras' largest and capital city of Tegucigalpa in a letter dated June 9, 2006. Area members, who have had to travel 12 hours to the Guatemala City Guatemala Temple, are delighted with the news, as temple trips come at a great cost for many. The First Presidency added its confidence that "this will be a blessing to the many faithful saints in this and surrounding areas who have had to travel long distances to enjoy the blessings of the temple."
