I hope all is going well, this week
went pretty well here in Juigalpa. I was in the area most of the week,
just holding down the fort while Elder Hartley was in Bluefields helping out
there. We had some good time to contact and find a couple of new people
to teach, and helped out a couple people that we already had.
On Monday we finished up the night
working in the area, my companion’s knee has been hurting him and some other
things so President on Sunday told us to take it a little slower in the
street. It held us back a little, but we tried to do all we could.
On Tuesday, Elder Hartley left for
Bluefields and so the area was all ours. We had a pretty successful day
contacting, and put a couple of fechas (baptismal dates). It has been pretty
much reopening an area here so we are taking all we can get.
The same with Wednesday, but it was
more successful because the two people we put fechas with ended up going to
church on Sunday, that was awesome and a blessing.
On Thursday we were able to do a
couple visits with the Branch President here. Every Thursday we do visits
with the Elders Quorum which is something that I really like. We are able
to get the members involved in the work a little more, and the members are able
to have a couple more friends. We went with a family that we are teaching
and were able to explain 2 Nefi 31. At first we were just teaching the
couple. The wife is a little dura (hard), she doesn’t really accept us a
ton, but the husband is really progressing. Anyway we were watching the
Restoration with the husband one night, and his mom came in and watched it with
us. She was really interesting and we invited her to pray. Two days
later we passed by, and she told us that she had a dream of her walking into
the church, and that she wanted to go with us on Sunday. She ended up
going last week and also came this week, we rolled up in the back of their
truck which was funny. The Branch President is pleased with our work
which is good.
On Friday I had to get up early to go
out to Boaco to do district meeting. In addition to being Zone Leaders,
me and Elder Hartley are also district leaders in Boaco. There are just 4
hermanas (sisters) there, and no Elders and it is pretty isolated. It is
like an hour and a half bus ride out there, and it is a really cool city.
I wouldn’t mind being there. It is up in the mountains and is a little
colder. I will attach some photos. Anyway I worked there for the
day, did some interviews and helped them out.
Saturday we had another unexpected
trip to Managua, and then Sunday we had church, and I did some interviews
too. Things are going well, and I hope all of you have a great
week! Pray for the zone so we can get to the 30 baptisms we need.
Thanks! Love you all!
