Familia y Amigos
How is it going? I hope everyone
is doing well. This email probably wont be too long as it was just another
normal week here in Bluefields. Things are going well with everyone and
we are just looking for some new people to teach!
This week I did divisions 2 times with
Elder Soifua and Elder Hernandez. They have been struggling a little bit
in their area, so I decided to go and help them out a little. They really
don’t have anyone progressing toward baptism for June, but they were blessed
and baptized 2 people on Saturday.
Other than that, me and Elder Passey
were just contacting in my area. We had a lot of success and
investigators last month, which means we didn’t really put a lot of time into
finding new people. We had a couple of people that we were teaching, but
they all kind of dropped off as they started to not keep their commitments and
stopped coming to church. Oh well! That‘s the cycle of the mission!
We are still working hard and have seen the Lord bless us in our work.
We especially saw blessings yesterday
when we were bringing people to church. On Saturday when we went around
to the investigators to remind them about church and pretty much everyone
bailed. We didn’t have a ton of people committed to come to church which
was going to make Sunday a rough day. We woke up early to go out and get
everyone up and getting ready for church so we could pass by to bring them.
After we had woken people up and passed by the second time to bring them,
everyone was gone, and their houses were all locked up (even though every Nicaraguense
uses the excuse that they can’t lock up the house, makes no sense).
Anyway after all that, there were only like 2 people that we were actually able
to bring to the church in a taxi, so we just decided to go with them to the
church. When we got there one of the people we had committed to come
decided to walk and another one showed up after the sacrament. I don’t
know how it happened but we ended up with 9 people attending church. It
was awesome. Not all of them were really investigators but whatever! It was a blessing they were there.
Another cool story…About a month ago,
if you all remember, we went back to Juigalpa for zone meeting. We worked
in that area with the zone leaders for 2 days and during those 2 days I pretty
much just contacted and put fechas (baptismal dates) with everyone. We
found a couple of cool people, but all I did was put a fecha and then
leave. Turns out that one of the people I put a fecha with ended up
getting baptized yesterday! It was cool hearing that the work I did while
I was there actually helped them out.
That’s about all I got for this week.
The investigator that got baptized but didn’t get confirmed last week ended up
getting confirmed this week, so that was good! I hope all of you have a
great week, love you all!
Love,
Elder Hanson
