| Baptism |
Familia y Amigos,
This week went super well, we got
back to baptizing and had interviews, which went super well. I’m super
happy because this week I should be getting a new companion here because it is
changes. I do not plan on leaving here but who knows what will happen because
the last time I guaranteed I wasn’t going to have changes I ended up having
them. I’m going to let you all know what went down.
On Monday we just finished up p-day,
didn’t really do anything else. Bluefields showed up in the night so we
all got ready, cleaned the house up and made sure everything was ready for
entrevistas (interviews).
On Tuesday we had entrevistas (interviews)
with president. They were supposed to be 10 minutes each and be over at
like 1:30, but we ended up finishing around 8 pm. We were
exhausted. Overall things went really well. We started out the
whole zone with just me and Elder Hartley going in and talking to President,
then everyone in the zone, and then at the end we had our personal interviews
and then again Elder Hartley and me went in. President is really happy
with us and he told me that I am doing a good job. That was good.
We are just trying to get things rolling here but it has been really hard with
just 3 people. After the interviews not much went down, just visited a
couple of people and went home.
On Wednesday we had plans to work
with a member but when we showed up to his house he flaked, wasn’t there and
wouldn’t answer his phone. Story of my life the last couple weeks
here. Nobody wants to work and then when we go to ward council they just
all tell us how willing they are and how they always work with us. Frustrating
but whatever!
On Thursday we worked with our ward
mission leader who is a super awesome, but he is a little old so gets
tired. He has a big desire to help us, but we had a ton of mandados (errands)
to run, setting up our investigator’s marriage that we were going to have and
everything.
On Friday the member worked with us
for half the day while Elder Hartley and Elder Vasquez were in Boaco. We
got everything set up for the marriage, but of course the investigator started
to have doubts. He works in a barberia (barber shop) so everyone just
feeds him stuff, saying bad stuff about the church. We got his doubts out
and resolved, and he was excited to get baptized again.
On Saturday we had the baptism. We
got everything ready, our investigator and his wife showed up early for the English
class and then we got them married and baptized. The wife is preparing
for baptism later this month. Not only did we pull through on Saturday,
but BYU did too, so that’s why this email has the title of “whiteout.” We
had a white happy night and so did BYU. But anyway the baptism went good,
he asked me to baptize him so I couldn’t say no, and they were happy.
On Sunday he was confirmed and we had
a good day in church so things went well. Looking forward this week to
get a new companion and everything.
I hope you all have a great week,
want to give a shout out to my little sister Lily. Happy Birthday!! Love
you lots!!
Elder Hanson
