Familia y Amigos,
This week was chill, it was a crazy
weekend but it all ended well so Im happy :)
On Tuesday I had the news and
trainers meeting, that all went well. Elder Lambson is progressing well
in his training so they were happy with that. Elder Heileson is training too,
so it was chill to see him. Elder Wagstaff went down to San Rafael to work with
them and it all went well.
Wednesday was a normal day, and then
Thursday I got to go over to Masatepe to work with Elder Medrano. We had
a really successful day and were able to teach a lot of people. They have
this super awesome family that they found, and it turns out their sister is a
member. Supposedly the member had come back trying to find some dates for her
family history so they were interested in that. They have found a ton of
cool people there.
Friday I woke up in Masatepe due to
the divisions so I went to their district meeting. We after just worked
in the area trying to find some new people. We had a pretty solid day so
all was well. We got the baptism all set up so that there would be no
problems Saturday.
On Saturday we had 2 baptisms at
10:30am. It all went good and they were both really excited to be able to get
baptized. The rest of the day went really well too. We were able to
teach a really awesome family that we have progressing. We taught them
the Book of Mormon and read a little with them. At the end of the lesson, I
felt prompted to ask a question, and I asked, "do you have a question that
you have never been able to answer in your life?" haha I have asked this
question before and the answer is always no, so I was expecting the same.
He then said "where am I going to go when I die?" I just sat there
staring at him because it was like the first time I got a legit response -
hahaha. We left him a chapter and we have a cita (appointment) with him
tomorrow so we will see how it goes.
Sunday morning we got up early to get
the confirmations to the church. We did divisions with a member and I
went with the member. So we got to the house and neither of them were
there..... my heart dropped because it is the worst thing ever. So the daughter
of one of the converts said that her mom hadn’t come back since the last night,
so we thought we knew where she would be, but the other one´s dad had taken her
in the morning to her other grandma’s house. Luckily they told me that
she lived in our area, but they didn’t know her dirección (address). They gave
me her name and the name of the barrio that she lived and I started out the
search. I was just praying and praying that we could find her. After like
45 minutes looking I felt like I should stop at this corner house and ask if
they knew the name they gave us. He told us that there was only one
person named that like 3 blocks away. We showed up to the house, and
asked if the lady lived there and they kid said no. However, he looked
exactly like the confirmation. I knew he was lying, and next thing you
know the confirmation popped her head out the door. We were able to get
her to come. Elder Wagstaff found the other one and we got them there
right on time :) The spirit definitely guided us hahah.
The rest of Sunday was good, I went
down to San Rafael to do some interviews and then headed back. This
morning we went to Managua to get my cedula renewed and then headed back.
All is well. Thanks for all your prayers, have a great week!
Elder Hanson
