Familia y Amigos,
Hope you all had a good week this
week, my week here was good and we were able to find some new
investigators! I’ll give you the run down on what happened.
Tuesday we were only able to
proselyte until 3 pm, there is a national holiday here on the 19th of July, it
is the day that 37 years ago the new government came into power. This
year is also elections here in Nicaragua so supposedly it was going to be
crazy, nothing really happened just a lot of drunk people. The streets
were dead because everyone went to the plaza. We were able to get a
little caught up on things. In the short 2 hours we had to work me and my
companion were able to find this awesome guy who has a big desire to change his
life. He went to church on Sunday with his kids, we didn’t have to pass
by for him so we are going to be working with him and his family.
On Wednesday we had a good day as
well. One of my investigators that I have, someone we have been teaching
since April has been doing well. She went to church 2 times right at the
beginning of the teaching and then got a job where she works on Sundays, hasn’t
been able to go. We have been teaching her on Wednesdays and she told us that
her boss was going to give her a new job and that on Sunday she was going to be
able to go to church... so we were stoked. Anyway in the moment it was a
miracle buuuuuut she didn’t actually have Sunday off so we´ll keep working with
her hahah. Hoping that she did actually get the job and that she will be
able to get baptized here soon. We also are teaching the cousin of a
member who is progressing well. He has 2 times in church now and is going
great with the teaching.
Thursday we had the first Consejo
with President Brown. It was very different for a couple reasons, first of
all the people there, I didn’t really know a ton of the zone leaders, they are
all new. Second was what he talked about. It was very focused on
spiritual power and repentance. He showed us some parts from the new
mission president’s devocional, mainly from Elder Andersons talk. It was
really good, we talked a little bit more about establishing the church, and
quality converts. It was definitely different, I´ll leave it at that.
Friday we had zone meeting, that was
good. Our training was on using inspired questions (I swear like the
thousandth time) but it was really good and was more focused on bringing the
spirit. It all went great, we took a zone pic and then ended it..
Saturday we had a baptism in the area
of a convert’s best friend, he was super ready and came to us so we could start
teaching him, we committed everyone to church and all that fun stuff.
Sunday was a good day, got a good
amount of people out to church and we are working to have some baptisms for the
next month. Sunday was probably the best day this week though, right
after second hour I got a call from one of the APs (who were in Bluefields with
president) and I was able to talk to some of my converts there. I got to
talk to Curt and his wife, the ones who were just sealed and they are
great. But then I was able to talk to Ayoleth and her husband, and they
told me that they are going to get sealed in December, they were going to get
interviewed right then for their temple recommends. Super awesome! I was
able to talk to a couple other members and things are going great.
That’s about it, this week should be
another interesting one, we will have the training meeting for Elder Peterson
and we might have interviews, we will see! Hope you all have a great
week, love you all!
