Egged

Cake the members made.

Familia y Amigos,

This week was super crazy, a lot of stuff went down and we didn’t have a ton of time in the area, but we made the best out of the time we did have.

Tuesday started the madness.  The APs called us on Monday night and told us that we would be having interviews on Wednesday, so we had to get it all set up.  So in the morning we had the news training meeting for Elder Peterson.  It went really well, he is doing a great job.  In the afternoon we had to run up to the stake president’s house and get his office key, President needed the office on Tuesday in the afternoon so we had to get that all ready, and then we got things ready for the next day.  We also had mission correlacion and ward council too it was just a super busy day.  We were able to have a super awesome lesson though, with one of our investigators that is progressing for the 6th of August.  We got him locked down for baptism so pray that it happens!

Wednesday were interviews, we had to be at the church all day making sure everything went well, I went around with Sister Brown and Elder Alcerro to check the houses.  I got to know Sister Brown a little more and that was cool. Everything went well. My interview with President Brown was my last interview, it went really well and was a spiritual experience.

Thursday was normal day of work, we didn’t find a ton of people but it was overall a good day.

Friday was a good day, we worked hard, found some people and then ex-Elder Copeland was in town so he came and passed by to say hi.  It was great to see him and his family.  He dropped off a package so thanks mom for that!  One of the guys that we found, his name is Leonardo, showed up to church alone. I really didn’t think that he was going to, but he ended up coming and was really interested!

Saturday was a good day as well. Some members were nice and bought me a cake for my bday, they also got me good with some eggs.  Its a Nicaraguan tradition to throw eggs at someone on their birthday.  I saw it coming but they did it good.  We got all of our investigators committed to church, had a couple of good lessons. Thanks for everyone’s birthday emails and everything!

Sunday we were able to get our investigators to church, they are progressing really well and we are continuing always to look for new people.  This week should be a good one, we will have the majority of the week to be in the area and find new people. 

That’s about all that happened, I hope you all have a great week, love you all!
