Familia y amigos,
Naki sma? That’s a little
miskito for you, it just means "how are you doing?." I hope
everyone has had a great week this week, a couple of cool things happened to us
and everything is going well!
On Tuesday we went over to Ayoleth’s
house to see how she was doing. It has been really hard to teach her
because we literally have taught her everything. It is to the point that
when we go we just read a chapter from the Book of Mormon because there is
nothing else to go over. She is halfway through 2 Nefi which is super
cool. Anyway we went over there and she told us that she had good news!
She told us that her husband’s papel de solteria had come in and she gave it to
us. The paper says that he is single, which means he can get married!
It is a huge blessing because all of the rules of marriage change here in
Nicaragua next month. We would have had to get a lot more papers and
everything, but the lord gave us a miracle. She is going to get baptized
this next Saturday.
We had a baptism of a little brother
of a menos activo (less active member). He was the last one in the family
to get baptized, and we’ve been trying to work with them to get them to
church. It was a miracle too that he got baptized. Two months ago
the older sister ran the missionaries out of the house because she didn’t want
him to get baptized. A member came and visited the house with us, and we
were unaware that she had ran the missionaries out. She lied to us at
first and told us the kid was baptized, but she ended up telling us the truth.
Anyway, long story short, we were kind of preparing the kid in secret because
she was never there, but ended up giving permiso (permission) so that he could
be baptized.
We found a super awesome family who
is preparing to be baptized on March 28th now. They love the church and
have been doing really well. They are progressing really quickly and are
super kind and loving. It is a family of 4, and with the 4 baptisms we
will have scheduled for this Saturday, we are hoping to end the month with
about 10 baptisms.
This Thursday we have a multi-mission
conference with Bishop Dean M. Davies.
It will be a combined meeting with all the missionaries from the Nicaragua Managua South and the Nicaragua Managua North missions. That means there will be like 400
missionaries here in one capilla (chapel) in Managua and the capilla is
actually in the North mission. This
means we will be traveling again. We got lucky this time and we will be
going by plane (finally) so it shouldn’t be too bad of a trip. This time we will only be gone from our
area for about a day instead of 2-3 days, which is good because we have so much
going on.
We have been super blessed this past
cambio (change/transfer) and I know it is because of our hard work and diligence
here in the area. I hope all of you have a great week. I love you all!

rid of them.
