<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week was decent, our baptism
ended up falling which was a bummer but we had a couple miracles happen, we
should have a couple baptisms this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">So Monday through Wednesday not a ton
happened. We just worked in they area, tried to find some people but didn’t
have a ton of luck. Tuesday in the afternoon I got a text from one of the
APs that they would be bringing me a missionary to work with me. I guess
there were E changes and he had done something, he ended up staying the
night. Worked hard with us, who knows what happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Thursday we had a super awesome
day. The ward decided to have this thing called Noche de Hermanamiento,
it is just like an activity where you bring your investigators and the new converts
so the members can get to know them better, it was definitely a success.
We had a good lesson about tithing with one of our investigators that is
preparing for baptism this week and it was a great day. The best thing
happened though right after our last lesson. It was like 9pm and we were
walking home, when all of a sudden we heard someone yell "hermanos,
hermanos!" So we saw that it was one of our investigators. She is
the investigator that I was talking about a couple weeks ago that was progressing
really well back in May, but she got a job and had to work on Sundays. We
continued teaching her and for the past couple months we had been visiting her
on Wednesdays, her free day. So the day before she had told us that they
hadn’t given her the new job as she was expecting, and was kind of disappointed
because she really wanted to get baptized and be strong in the church. Anyway
back to real time, she called us over, and I was a little surprised because she
usually works until like midnight. I asked her if she got off work early,
and she told us that she had quit her job that morning and was going to go to
church on Sunday. We set up an appointment with her for the next day and
we were stoked!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Friday we passed by, she was there
and she committed to baptism. We went over the baptismal questions with
her and she was good, she has a strong testimony from the long time we have
teaching her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday was a little rough, with the
baptism falling, as well as a couple investigators dropped us but nothing too
horrible. It was a really slow day but we were able to get the majority
of our investigators committed to church.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday we had an awesome turn out in
church, we got our investigators interviewed so this week we will just be busy
locking them down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">It is crazy to think that the time
has come here to an end, but I am so grateful for the chance I had to serve the
people here of Nicaragua. I love this place with all of my heart and am
grateful for all of the experiences that I have had here that have not only
changed me but also the people I have had the opportunity to teach. I
know and have seen the influence of the gospel in these people’s lives, and I
know that God continues to lead and guide us through living prophets. I’m
grateful for my savior Jesus Christ, for his Atonement that applies to us in
each day of our lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

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!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

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!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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..<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

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!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">How is it going, hope you all are
doing great. This week was cambios, so it was the usual routine, nothing
changed at all really the way they did it with the new mission President.
Tuesday we got the call that Elder Hall would have changes (going home) and
that Elder Chacón would also be training. They took out one of my dls
from the zone, and there weren’t too many changes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Anyway Tuesday night the new
missionaries came to our area to work, I was able to work with Elder Diaz from
the Dominican Republic, that was cool and it was fun to see the energy the new
missionaries all have! We found a cool lady that accepted a fecha super
fast. We haven’t found her since, but were hoping we can!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Wednesday was changes, pretty much
all of the leaders of the mission went home. It was weird being in my
last change meeting and saying bye to all those guys. There is a new
Elder in our area, he is Elder Rivera, from El Salvador. Elder Chacón
will be training him. Funny story, they actually live like half a block
away from each other in El Salvador, they are in the same ward. That
would be weird to be comps with someone from your ward haha. They didn’t
really know each other too well because Elder Chacón is a convert to the church
so he was home like a year before he left, and he is also 6 years older than
all of us. Wednesday me and Elder Peterson had a super awesome day, we
were able to put a couple fechas with families, and the people we found that
day actually went to church. It is always great to see the fruits of the
work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Thursday was normal, Friday we had a
mini zone meeting to get to know everyone a little better. The zone wasn’t
really what I was expecting it to be, and we lost some really good
missionaries. Oh well. The zone should have a decent month and we are
getting ready also for August. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday afternoon we also had a
baptism. It was crazy. So the baptism was planned for 5 o’clock and
we went at like 4:30 to fill up the font. So as we were filling it up, it
started to smell really bad. We decided to quickly clean it and there were some
young men there to help us. We got it all good and then we started
filling it up. Still smelled like rotten fish and the water had like gross foam
in it. We had an idea to put some clorox in the water to see if it would
take away the smell and so we got a bag from a pulperia (store) and it
worked. So by then it was like 5:30 and we decided we should probably go
and see why the baptism hadn’t showed up yet, so we decided to walk the mile or
more to her house. Right when we were half a block there we got a call
from Elder Chacón telling us that she was there. We started walking back,
got another call saying that the pila had drained and that Sister Brown and her
daughter were there because the youth had invited her. So we bought
another bag of clorox and started the long walk back. It all ended up
great, so we were happy she was able to get baptized. There is never an
easy baptism here!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

church, and things are looking good here for the end of this month and the
beginning of the next. I am doing great and loving things, I hope you all have
a great week! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

mas o menos week here, some cool stuff happened though so that was fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">We were going to have a baptism but
he ended up falling. He was telling us how he didnt feel ready, he wasnt
sure, he told us that when he prayed he felt good and everything but we dug
down a little deeper and he doesnt really have a testimony of the Book of
Mormon so we will be working on that with him. He and his friend also
decided to look up stuff on internet, thats always fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">The week started out normal, we just
started looking for some new investigators because the majority of ours fell
and or didnt want to progress. We didnt have a ton of luck, but we found
a couple people yesterday after church so we are hoping we can get things rolling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Friday we had a multizona to get
to know the new mission president. Sister Brown talked about the
importance of following the spirit. It was a great talk. And then
President Brown gave a good talk too. He talked about how in his 8 months
of preparation he prayed to know what to do with the mission. He shared a
scripture in Johnd 5:30 that talks about how we need to do the will of the
father. He said that in the preparation, he felt that God wanted 2 things from
the mission and the missionaries. First thing, that Nicaragua needs a
temple so we need to do everything we can to get it, and we need to establish
the church here not just baptize a ton of people and have them go inactive the
next month. Second, he said that we need missionaries with more spiritual
power. The 2 things he talked about are exactly what we need, so it was awesome
to see how he has the revelation to direct and guide the mission, and the Lord
has a plan for us here. We should always be asking if we are doing the fathers
will, and what we can do to improve! Each of their kids gave a talk and after
it was crazy to see all the kids running around. Forgot what that was
like haha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Miracle of the week, there is this
girl who is the sister of a recent convert here in the area. Her sister
got baptized a year ago and she didnt really want anything to do with the
church. Sometimes she would go with her sister but would always say that
she wasnt getting baptized, etc. Anyway at the beginning of the month we
decided that we were going to teach her because all the missionaries in the
past probably just came and talked about baptism, baptism, and baptism, because
she had been to church a million times but never really been taught. So we
decided to teach her and she was looking a little more positive, but she still
was saying that she didnt want to. Anyway when we showed up to teach her
on Saturday she said "Elderes, tengo una noticia. Me voy a bautizar el
proximo sabado!" (Elders, I have an announcement. I'm going to get baptized next Saturday!) It had been a rough day up to that point so we were
stoked. Anyway she passed her baptismal interview and all is good for
this Saturday!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday was an alright day, church was
good, not too many people came. This week we are trying to find some new
families to teach so we can get some more people out to church.
Everything is going well and I love you all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Well not a ton happened this week, it
wasn’t really the greatest week ever, turnout in church wasn’t that great as
well. We tried finding people but not much happened. This week we
are going to bounce back and find some new people and get things rolling again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">We had a couple of cool lessons this
week with our investigators. We were able to finish teaching the commandments,
and they committed to live them. This week we should have a baptism, his
name is Henry and it would be awesome if you could all pray that he does it!
He has a good testimony and is almost there on doing it. We
continue to look for new people and know that we will find some this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">They changed our mission president
this week, President Russell left Tuesday or Wednesday and so our new
President, President Brown was here around that same time. I actually was able
to meet him 2 times this week, the first I was going to the church and he was
there in front of the church in his car. I was able to meet him, me and my
companion introduced ourselves and it was quick. He seems like a nice guy
and told us to work hard and be happy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">The second was on Saturday, one of
the sister missionaries invited him and his wife to their baptism in the
morning, so he came with his family (3 of his 4 kids came.) We were able to
talk with him a little more and get to know him a little better. His family is
super nice, his Spanish is great and all is going well! I am excited to keep
working here and finding some people to baptize!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

spent some of the day visiting the investigators with some members so that they
could get a little more comfortable with the church. At like 5:15 my comp
sent me a text saying that at 6 we had a meeting with President Russell and the
Stake President, but I didn’t see the text. At like 5:45 I pulled out my
phone and saw it, we had to run back to the house, change into my suit and
luckily we made it there on time. The meeting went well, we talked about
how things are going in the zone and the stake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

well, President bore his testimony (probably the last one) and it was a good
meeting. Things were kind of weird because I have been used to seeing the
same people there for the past year. There are a lot of new Zone Leaders
so it was interesting. I sat by Elder Nave and we had a good time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Thursday was another normal day, not
much happened. We got everything ready for our baptism that was on Friday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">So Friday we had a baptism, he is the
little brother of a recent convert that got baptized a year ago. When she
got baptized he didn’t want to get baptized so we were able to teach him and he
has been doing awesome! His mom is a member too, we are working on
activating her and the whole family. Before the baptism in the morning we
had Zone Conference. It was a good meeting and we were able to get
everyone animated. July is another 5 week month so they are expecting a
lot. We are hoping to break what we did in May, so it is going to be a lot
of work. We have already started getting to know everyone’s
investigators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday like nobody was home, so it
was a pretty long day, not much happened. On Sunday our baptism was able
to get confirmed, and we had a couple of people show up. We have some
cool investigators, but we are just teaching the commandments, so pray that
they can be willing to live them! Also, a good friend from Bluefields, William, was in
town so I got to see him and take a pic. He just got his mission call, he
is going to South Africa. He is the first Nicaragüense to ever go to
Africa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This morning we woke up early and
went on an awesome hike to watch the sunrise, I have some pics here that I´ll
send. This week should be a good one, the new mission president should be
here, so it will be interesting. I’m going to miss President Russell!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

do some divisions. It is an area in the zone that hasn’t been doing too
hot so I was able to go and work with the elders there. It was overall a
good day, we were able to put a couple fechas and find some people to teach.
I also go to know their possibility for the week, and all went
well. Elder Copeland also left in the morning leaving me and Elder
Heileson alone here hahah. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

President Russell and Sister Russell showed up. That was a surprise, but
everything went good. A convert invited us over to eat, and later that
day we were able to find some awesome people. All the people we found on
Friday went to church, which was great to see. Later in the night we had a ward
activity, where we watched Meet the Mormons. We had some investigators show up,
so that was cool. We left the Capilla and Elder Alcerro called me and
said he wanted to go visit some of the possibilities that we had so we went and
animated a couple people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

didn’t know if our baptism was going to pull through, but we had the faith it

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week was pretty chill, it wasn’t
as rainy as the last one but we got wet a couple times.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first one was on Monday night,
because it had been raining they shut off the water. When we got back to
get ready to work there was no water, and someone in the house turned it on to
check it but then forgot to turn it off, and just to our luck a bottle cap fell
right over the drain hole so we got back in the night to a lot of water all
over the house. We swept it all out and nothing really got ruined so that
was good.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have a couple investigators right
now that are SO close to being baptized but they are having a couple of
problems. We have a mom and her 3 kids that are progressing well, along
with another 17 year old kid who wants to get baptized he just has a couple
fears (and maybe some unconfessed sins) that we are trying to work through.
If you could include them in your prayers that would be awesome! We have a
couple other people we are teaching, we have this lady that has 2 times in
church and then picked up a Monday to Sunday job, she asked us this week when
she could get baptized and we explained to her she needed at least 3 times in
church to do it. She says she is quitting her job this week so that would
be great, along with the younger brother of a recent convert that we
have. The investigator pool is doing well right now, just a couple
desafios (challenges) with the investigators that are keeping them from being
baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also had a couple cool lessons this
week with some converts, one of them was kind of thinking about leaving the
church, so we were able to help her understand a couple more things and get her
animated.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday we had a multizona (multi-zone
conference), I wasn’t really with any of my close mission friends but it was
great. President and Sister Russell both had great messages and I was
able to learn a lot. Sister Russell talked a little bit about enduring to the
end, President about working with the members. It is their last multizona and
we will be getting a new mission president here soon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday we were going to have a
baptism, he is the older brother of a recent convert we have. He told us
that he wanted to get baptized but that his dad was drunk. His parents
supported him getting baptized, but he knew his dad would be angry if he wasn’t
there when he got home. The two kids are nephews of the Relief Society
President so they had been helping us out with the teaching, bringing them to
church and everything. So any way he told us he would do it Sunday
morning. We saw the dad in a fight later that night with the mom, it was really
sad and there wasn’t much we could do. it is really sad to see here how alcohol
controls a lot of these peoples lives. All went well in the morning on Sunday
and the kid was really excited to be able to be baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sunday went well, it was a little rainy
but not like last week, we were able to get a couple people there and it was
overall a good day. Did some baptismal interviews and we contacted a couple
people. It was a pretty normal week. I hope that everyone has a
great week! Love you all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Tuesday we found out that Elder
Martell would be leaving, and obviously that Elder Merrill would be going
home. I found out as well that I would be training. We went and
said goodbye to everyone with Elder Martell, but that night the rain started
falling, and it was a super hard rain. We had a cita (apt) we had to go
to, so we were at the despedida of a missionary in the church. Me and
Elder Merrill decided to go to the cita and we ran to the cita in the
rain. We got completely drenched and had a great lesson, it was awesome.

there early and got to hang out with everyone. I got my new companion,
and turns out I am training Elder Peterson! Me and Elder Peterson were
together in Juigalpa with Elder Merrill and Elder Smith (I was training Smith,
Merrill was training Peterson).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
other companion is Elder Chacon. I was super stoked for the opportunity
that I have to train him and we have already had a ton of fun and found a ton
of people to teach!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That night we
got wet in the rain again and were able to teach a couple of the investigators
that we have progressing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday was district meeting, they
changed things up in the zone a little, we only have 22 missionaries now
instead of 24. Me and Elder Chacon aren’t DLs anymore, so that is nice, but a
lot of the zone is really new in the mission. In the afternoon I went and
did an interview with this girl from the sister’s area. She was super
ready but she was saying she wanted to do it later with her mom. So the
sisters went back to talk with the mom and it didn’t go too well. We just kind
of left it for later, hoping that it would turn out well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday in the morning we celebrated
a sister missionary’s birthday in the church with cake. The girl that I
had interviewed showed up with her mom so it was the perfect moment to do it.
We took them in the baptismal room and she committed to do it, we got her
in the water right then. It was awesome! We didn’t have any
baptisms in our area, but we are looking good for later this month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday is the most wet I have ever
gotten on my entire misson. We woke up early and got out to get our
investigators. I had the feeling on Saturday that it was going to be like
that on Sunday morning so we set up plans for all of the investigators in case
of rain. Everything went smoothly and me and Elder Peterson were able to bring
8 people even with all of the rain. The asistencia was super low and
people were calling missionaries asking if church was cancelled because of the
rain. We walked in drenched and it was horrible because the ac was on
too, we froze haha. Ex Elder Martinez was still visiting so we had some
more good times sharing experiences from when he was here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week was a pretty long and
stressful one, it was a lot of verifying possibilities but it all turned out
great!!! We were blessed to have a couple baptisms in our area as well so that
was fun too. Here’s how the week went.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Tuesday me and one of the APs, Elder
Alcerro, went out to visit the possibilities. We brought around some
animo packages (liahona, a calendar, a picture of the temple, family
proclamation to the world) to the people who had been interviewed and were
getting ready for their baptisms. That went well and we got a couple more
people interviewed as well! We actually got a couple married and baptized that
day as well, it was kind of a jarron and it all turned out great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Wednesday and Thursday we worked in
the area a little as well, but we also went and verified some more people at
night, lost a little time there in the area doing that. It was the same
story on Thursday. It was super hot though. There is a thermometer in our
area that said it was 46 degrees celcius (105.8 farenheit). I know it
wasn’t that hot, but it was blistering heat for the majority of the week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday morning we were supposed to
have a marriage in our area, but it didn’t end up working out so we had to
replan it for Saturday. We were able to have a couple of good lessons and get
some people committed to church because we knew Saturday was going to be crazy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Saturday we spent all day making
sure everyone in the zone was good for baptisms and getting our own baptisms in
the water. I’ll attach some pictures of the baptisms we had, but it was a
pretty successful weekend. We had a marriage, and that baptism as we
planned and it went pretty smoothly. The lawyers here aren’t very
reliable so last second we had to change lawyers and make sure that it was all
going to happen. A couple of baptisms fell in the zone but we still had the
hope to get the 40 we wanted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday morning was even crazier as Satan
always makes the confirmations hard. We got the 40th person confirmed at
10:20am right at the end of a sacrament meeting in the zone. We were pretty
happy about the result. The mission ended this month with 306 baptisms,
and got the goal of 300 which we had put. It was a great month, we will
see how June turns out but we are happy with our results :) Ex Elder Martinez
also came and visited the ward on Sunday and it was great to see him as well!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this week will be changes and Elder Merrill will be going home. He has
been an awesome companion (2 times) and I’m definitely going to miss him!
I hope that all of you have a great week, love you all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the zone. Things went pretty well this week, and nothing was too exciting but

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Tuesday we just worked in the
area, we didn’t have a lot of time to work last week so we were just trying to
find some new people to teach, bring to church and to baptize. We were
knocking some houses and we found this super receptive lady who lives with her
5 kids, 3 of them are over 8. She accepted a fecha well, committed to go
to church and read the folletto we left. So throughout the week we were
able to meet her kids, put fechas with them and they read the folletto and went
to church as well! I love when people complete with their commitments!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

area. On Thursday we had consejo to see how the mission was doing, and
how things are looking for the rest of the month. It all went great
because our zone is doing alright. After we took some pics, always fun
seeing the other ZLs. After consejo I went out with Elder Alcerro, one of the
APs to get to know the possibilities in the zone. We interviewed a
family, and it was a good time. We also had to go into the middle of
nowhere down another canyon and it was quite the adventure hahah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the things that Sister Russell talked about in consejo was patience, so we
talked a little with the zone about patience. I liked one of the things
she said, that patience is not just sitting around and waiting for things to
happen, but it is working calmly through every situation and doing all we
can. Patience is an awesome attribute that I have definitely developed
more here on the mission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

went smoothly and then got some investigators in church. After church Elder
Merrill and I went and started the baptismal interviews. We should have
about 20 baptisms this week in the zone, and we were able to get 10 interviews
done. We are looking forward to this last weekend and we are praying all
goes well!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

engaged to the missionary he was waiting for, and he says they’re going to the
temple next month! :) I am stoked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">I hope that all of you were able to
have a good week, celebrating a lot of birthdays at home and having a good
time! This week was nothing too special. We lost a lot of time in
the area because me and Elder Merrill were trying to get to know all of the
possibilities that the zone has for baptism for the rest of the month. We
are working hard to get as many people as we can in the last 5 week month of
President Russell, we could win the BBQ :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Tuesday Elder Merrill and I went to
Loma Linda to work with the sisters there. We worked all day long, got to
find a couple people, as well as get to know the people they have for baptism.
We were able to help them to fix a couple things and they had a LOT of success
in church on Sunday, which was great to see!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Wednesday we went to help some Elders
out in the morning to try and get out a birth certificate so this lady can get
baptized. We had to go all the way up to the Crucero (the farthest south
part of the zone) and see what we could do. Anyway everything here is in
books, they have like no computer system. So when we got there, they told
us that they only had the books from 2000 on, and the lady was born in the
70s. Luckily the workers there knew her somehow (everyone knows everyone)
and tuns out she isn’t inscrito. So she is like 40 years old and it is like she
doesn’t even exist. We lost a lot of time and the process to inscribe
someone is really long and takes forever so its going to be a while before she
can get married and baptized. We had a little bit of time in the
afternoon to teach some investigators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Thursday It was the day we had to
work the most in the area, but there was also an activity at the church so we
tried to bring some people there. We also went and got to know some more
of the sisters possibilities here in Altagracia that are doing great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday we went around the whole zone
and got to know some more people, but it was a bad day (probably because it was
Friday the 13th hahah). I had this baptismal interview that was really really
bad, a kid that was supposed to get baptized didn’t want to commit to stop
drinking coffee, and another person told us that her mom told her that she
couldn’t go to church anymore while I was getting to know people during
divisions. That kind of stunk, but to end out the night we met a cool
family that is doing great for their baptism in another area. Its crazy
how we get to know so many people, their doubts, needs, and try to do
everything we can to help them. I know that I am not capable of doing it
alone and the Lord is definitely here helping us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Saturday we had a baptism, of this
kid I met the first day in the area. It is a sealed family that went
inactive a year ago and didn’t baptize their son. We were able to
reactivate the family and they are doing super awesome! We didn’t have any
baptismal pants because there were also 2 other people that got baptized.
I had to squeeze into some super tiny ones hahah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday was Elder Merrill’s Birthday,
and the only thing he really wanted was investigators at church and it happened
:) We bought him a cake to celebrate. They broke eggs and it was a great
time. That night we went and did some baptismal interviews and got some
more people ready for this week. Super crazy week but it flew through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This morning we played some basketball
and then we ate some Mcdonalds, that was fun. This week we have Consejo
and preparing for the last week of this month which will be really stressful
but I know we can break 40 baptisms in the zone!!! It would be awesome. I
love you all lots, have a great week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you guys yesterday, everyone looks so grown up! But this week was a
pretty good one. Before I get started I had a special request and don’t
want you all to forget Owen’s, Maddy’s, and Riley’s birthdays this week. HAPPY

some things ready for the interviews with President Russell. On Monday
here they had a big SOY (EFY) activity and they didn’t clean up... the usual so
we had to clean the chapel as well so it was presentable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was a good time. Our zone is doing well so there wasn’t much to talk
about. I had a pretty quick interview with President Russell and it went
really well. We were able to talk about my progress and he said some nice
things. My interview with Pres. and Elder Merrill also went really well
and he is happy with the progress of the zone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">It was another good week here in the
heat of Managua, things went pretty well and we had an all right week so here’s
how it went.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Monday night was cool, we were just
looking for some new people to teach and me and my companion were both walking
and at the same time we turned around to go and contact this lady. We
didn’t know how positive she was going to be, but she told us to come back the
next day. Tuesday we showed up and her whole family was there, we put a fecha
with them and committed them to read a folleto (pamphlet). Anyway long story
short she read 2 folletos and some of the Book of Mormon and went to church, so
that was cool! The spirit does guide if we listen!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Tuesday and Wednesday we just
contacted. The rain also started up as well which was pretty nice. It
cools down while it rains but when the sun comes out it just gets worse.
Managua is known for flooding and it gets raining pretty hard for a couple of
hours and then chills out. The rain storms should be like an every day thing
from now on so looking forward (kind of) to that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Thursday we had consejo (leadership conference),
we thought that it was going to be Elder Merrill’s last one but turns out we
are going to have another one in the end of May so that was kind of a
bummer. We showed up a little early and met Elder Copeland and Elder
Heileson there so we could chill for a little before it all started. All
went well at consejo, Our big goal for this month is that as a mission we break
300 baptisms. Our zone is one of the bigger ones so they are relying on a
lot of baptisms from us. We have a goal of 50 baptisms between our 24
missionaries so pray that we can reach it please! We need all the help we
can get.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday we had Zone Meeting and that
was fun to see all of the Elders and Sister there. We have a pretty fun zone, I’m
not really with any people I have been with before in the zone. Sister
Russell at consejo talked about 8 things we can do to be better missionaries
and we shared those 8 things with them. We just worked the rest of the day
trying to find people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday we were blessed to have a
baptism. It was a little later at night, but all went well. She was
the cousin of a recent convert and she had the biggest desire to get baptized,
so let’s hope she stays active! Everyone we had planned was able to get
baptized in the zone so that was great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday the water went out, so that
was the excuse of the day to not go to church. Every time that it rains
here they shut off the water, it doesn’t make sense to me but whatever!! We had
an off week but the majority of our investigators are still progressing for
this month. I am excited to see what we can do. Thanks for all you do,
love you guys lots! This week we will also have interviews so lets hope all
goes well there too!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">How are you all doing? Like I
said last week I had changes, so Tuesday we went down to change meeting.
I was pretty convinced that I was going somewhere in Managua, and turns out
that my companion is Elder Merrill! We were already companions for one change
in Juigalpa but I am stoked to be back with him. We had joked about it a little
but it was something that didn’t seem like it was going to happen. I am also
here with Elder Martell and Elder Hall. The name of my area is Altagracia
I, in la Zona Universitaria. The zone is doing really well right now so that is
awesome too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">But let me tell you this place is SO
hot... Coming from San Marcos to here was a big change. At like 9 oclock
at night I sweat more than I have ever sweat playing in any lacrosse game. It
is unreal. I sweat just doing the simple motion of brushing my teeth.
Wow. The rain storms supposedly start this week so we will see how things
go :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week was pretty good, me and
Elder Martell have just been looking for some people, Elder Heileson left some
good investigators so we are working with them and helping them for this month
of May.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Friday Elder Merrill and I went
and visited some possibilities in Monte Fresco, one of the areas in my zone.
Monte Fresco actually is on the road to San Marcos so that is cool, but we had
to go down in this canyon a couple times and it was super exhausting. We got
home super tired and just fell asleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday we were able to have 2
baptisms that I walked in on. 2 people I had prepared in San Marcos also
got baptized so that was awesome to hear. The rest of the zone also got
everyone baptized and the zone ended really well this month. I didn’t
really have anything to do with the success but it is still cool to see the
progress they had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

afternoon with some future missionaries, and got to know some of the members so
that was great. I am loving it here in this area and know that we will be
able to have success in May. Thanks for all of your prayers, love you all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Well I’m going to make this a short one
because I want to go and say bye to some people here. Changes are
tomorrow (just this time) and I just found out that I will be leaving San
Marcos. It has been super awesome here, I love this city and the people,
the ward the members and everything and I am going to miss it a ton.... but oh
well!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week was cool, we saw a couple of
miracles. One of the ones we saw was with this family we are teaching. We
have been fighting with them for 2 weeks and trying to get them married.
One of the days this week I said a specific prayer and was praying all day long
that we could find a way to do it. We showed up to the house and the
husband wasn’t there, but the wife was. I felt like we should ask her a question. I
asked her simply what was stopping her from being married. She said
"I don’t want to get married in front of everyone Sunday, I don’t like a
lot of people!" hahahah! It was awesome that we could finally find out
why. She committed to being baptized as well so I’m not going to get to
see it but I’m sure I will see pictures. The husband of her also has a fecha
(baptismal date) for the 7th of May.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Another cool thing, don’t know if I
have told you this, but the Maria lady we baptized back in March (the 19th) is
super awesome. She has 9 kids and we are teaching 6 of the 9, each of
them have their pareja (spouse) and kids, it is dope. We are teaching one
of her sons and he has been progressing really well. He has a fecha with his
son, and his cuñada (mother-in-law) for the 30th of April. For the 30th we also
have a family of 2 that is progressing really well, the husband stopped smoking
and we are praying that he stops for good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">I’m leaving some really awesome people
here and a lot of baptisms so I hope they are all able to reach their goals and
stay active. That’s all I really got, I’m excited for this next area (probably
will be my last :( ). It has been super awesome to see this zone start having
success, and I am definitely going to miss it! I love you all! have a great
week!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">Familia y Amigos,</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week was pretty chill, not a ton
of stuff happened, but all went well. Here’s what happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Tuesday I went and did divisions in
this area called La Concepcion (or as the gente say La Concha). It was a
very interesting day. The area is known as one of the castigo
(punishment) areas of the mission and the missionaries there are not doing the
best, so I went and tried to help out but not much got done. It was a
hard day but there wasn’t much we could do. The people were nice and I got a
whole bag of oranges and a huge aguacate. Hahah that was fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Wednesday we dropped Elder Lambson
off in Diriamba and worked the day in our area because we had a meeting with
the Stake President and President Russell. During the day we felt like we should
visit this less active that we had only visited one time before. She told
us that we were angels because the only 2 times we had come had been when she
most needed it. That was an awesome experience. It was a really cool
meeting and we just discussed the progress of the stake. The stake is
doing great so there were no problems. They might put a rama (branch) in San
Rafael del Sur as well which would be really cool!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Thursday was a normal day in the
area, and Friday I went and interviewed everyone that we have for this
Saturday. I love baptismal interviews because the spirit is always so
strong. Love doing them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday was the adult’s session of
stake conference and there was a 70 visiting, Elder Arredondo and we were able
to bring some investigators. It didn’t turn out that great. We got
everyone ready for church.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday was the general session and
the ward left late so we got the very back of the stake center seats and we
couldn’t really hear and there were a lot of distractions. But it is all
good. We headed back to San Marcos and finished out the week of
work. But it was something called la Hipica. Pretty much everyone
comes in from out of town with their horses, they set up beer tents all over
the park and everyone gets wasted (including the horses) so we tried to stay
away from there. It was huge. Pobre horses.....<o:p></o:p></span></div>

but I hope that you all have a great week. Thanks for all you do!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">How are you all doing? I hope
all of you had a great weekend listening to conference and were able to receive
some type of personal revelation. I was able to go to the majority of
conference and we had a good number of people that came which was awesome. This
week flew by so here’s what happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Monday night we taught a family that
we have the word of wisdom. The guy in the family told us that he smokes
like a pack a day which was kind of a downer but he told us that he had a goal
to quit smoking by the end of the month, which was that week. He has
really cut down on smoking so pray for him so that he and his wife can be
baptized!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Tuesday we had consejo (leadership
conference), that was alright I woke up and realized that I was probably going
to have a kidney stone again so that wasn’t too fun. It ended up being
true but whatever! We presented our presentation and everything went well, we
had a pretty good month last month in the area so I was happy about that. It
was good to see all of the friends as usual and it was a good consejo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Wednesday and Thursday we just worked
in the area, we have a couple of cool people that we area teaching that have
been progressing well so that was good. We are setting things up for the
end of this month and for the next one as well. We should have some
success, which is always great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday I went to Diriamba and
animated some of the people they are teaching, and got to know them. They
are progressing well and this month they should have a good month too. We
also tried to get everyone committed to conference the next day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday and Sunday were
conference. Like I said we had a really good turn out and I was glad we
were able to listen to what we did. I listened in Spanish and I didn’t
get the most out of it so I am downloading the talks right now, but some of the
speakers I really enjoyed were Elder Holland, Elder Oaks, and Elder Uchtdorf’s
talk in the Sunday morning session. As well as Elder Christensen’s talk. That
was a good one too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week we have stake conference
and it will be my 3rd time here in Estaca Jinotepe, which means that in my
mission I have only missed one of them. I love Estaca Jinotepe, it is the
greatest. I hope you all have a great week, love you lots!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Happy Easter!! I hope that everyone
had a good weekend remembering the Savior. Here the people kind of
forgot... there were no Easter hymns and the word Easter wasn’t mentioned, but
I remembered so that’s all that matters!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week was a good one, we didn’t
have a lot of time to work in the area but we focused on finding people to
baptize this week. It was awesome because we were able to find some cool
people and help the investigators that we have progress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Tuesday I went to do divisions
with the DL in Diriamba. They are still struggling out there so I went to help
them out. We found a cool lady who had been to church before so we were
able to get her excited and put a fecha with her. It gets pretty cold there at
night (it is the coldest area of the mission) so it was nice to get out of the
heat. Even though I’m in one of the cooler parts of the mission it has
still been really hot lately.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Wednesday we had a multizona in Managua
with Zonas Universitaria and Granada so I got to see Elder Merrill, Elder
Heileson, and Elder Nave. That was a good time. I really enjoyed
Sister Russell’s talk about repentance and she talked about the importance of
it now in our lives and also in the future. It was a good day, we got
back to the area and went to our possibility for baptism to keep him animated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">On Thursday we worked in the area and
I really wanted to find some people, so in the morning I said a specific prayer
that we could find 4 positive people that we could help to progress, that we
would work hard all day long to find them. I went and visited a reference that
a member gave me who I thought wasn’t going to progress but he ended up being
really cool. He went to church this week which was great. We ended up
finding some pretty cool people, 4 actually and even though some of them didn’t
go to church we will be working with them to help them repent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday was district meeting and I
went again to Diriamba. It went well and we went back to the area to work
again. Focused again on finding people for baptism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday we woke up and got the pila
ready for the baptism, our baptism told us he was going to fast in the morning
(this guy is super awesome) and that he was going to come on his own. He
has a bike and rides from super far away to come to church which is a big
sacrifice, but he has a big desire to live the gospel. He was able to
give up smoking and has been reading the Book of Mormon every night. He was
super ready. The baptism went smooth, the elders quorum pres baptized him
and it all went great! We ran around committing everyone to church and it didn’t
look like we were going to have a great turn out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">So Sunday morning I did divisions
with a member to get people. We had committed a couple families that ended up
going and when I showed up to church, a ton of our investigators that we couldn’t
get to on Saturday showed up. We ended up bringing a really good number
of people along with our confirmation which was a huge blessing. Focusing
on repentance and baptism is the way to do it :) I hope that you all have
a good week, we have consejo tomorrow so that’ll be interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

trainers meeting, that all went well. Elder Lambson is progressing well

them and it all went well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

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

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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

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!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

going to be here in San Marcos another change. I am actually excited because we
are going to do well this month in the area, and also semana santa (holy week)
is this month and I will be in one of the cooler areas, that is a
blessing! Hahah my companions are Elder Wagstaff and Elder Lambson, we
are in a trio which will be good to work a little more with the zone and be
able to keep the area running. We should have some success in the area this
month so all is well!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week not too much happened, on Tuesday
we got the call that Elder Hernandez would be leaving. The members didn’t
really get to know him at all and he wasn’t their favorite so there were no
tears shed there. We found a couple cool people and got everything ready
for changes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Wednesday we got up early and went to
change meeting. Change meeting is always fun to get to see all of the ZLs
and hang out, we got a pretty good zone so I am excited to see what people can
do. Elder Nave left and is now a ZL in Granada, so we have a new DL there
in Masatepe. The other DLs stayed the same, and our zone now has 19
missionaries. Things are going great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Thursday we got out possibility
interviewed for baptism, I also had to go to Masatepe to look for a house with
them. While we were looking we were kind of contacting at the same time.
We got to this guy and I started talking about repentance, and he let us in
super quick. He told us that he was going through some hard times, and he
needed help. We talked about the atonement and stuff like that. Turns
out he went to church on Sunday with the Elders there so that was cool!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Friday was a super crazy day, I had
to make like 4 trips to Diriamba, it was a ton of traveling. Elder
Wagstaff went and did divisions there, but they had a couple problems with some
people that were going to get baptized. I went with them to try to save
the baptisms but it didn’t happen. The daughter of a less active that we
baptized last week (her mom came to church this week for the first time in a
couple years too) gave us a reference for a family that lives in front of her.
We had a lesson with the family and they were super awesome. The guy
asked us for a Book of Mormon so we are in the process of teaching him.
They came to church on Sunday which was great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Saturday we were blessed to have a
baptism. It was the son of a less active, we were able to reactivate the whole
family while teaching him which was awesome. He also brought his aunt and
cousin to the baptism so we have a cita (appointment) with them tonight.
We have been getting a lot of references lately which is the best.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday was a great day, we got
everyone we needed to to church, along with 2 families. This week we should
have 2 baptisms, and the next week have 2 as well, so if you could keep Maria,
Kati, Roger and William in your prayers that would be great. Another
member brought us her neighbor after church and we put a fecha (baptismal date)
with her too, she should progress well. Thanks for all of your prayers,
they are all appreciated. </span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">This week was a pretty good
one. On Tuesday I went down to San Rafael to work with Elder Petty, him
and Elder Passey have had a couple rough weeks at church so we went and found a
ton of people. We found a lot of families and they ended up bringing like
18 people to church so that was awesome to be able to see the fruits of our
labor :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hit 18 months, we didn’t really do anything special.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

able to talk with the zone about a couple things that Elder Ochoa had
taught. We mostly focused on baptizing every week. The zone doesn’t
look too bad for this month so we are going to be working with them to get

week, but they had like a last second multiestaca conference with all of
Central America so we couldn’t confirm anyone. He will be getting baptized this
week! My turn out was better than usual so I was happy. This was a really

<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week was a really good one, we

training and we also had a consejo (leadership training) with him which was

<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Tuesday it was just a normal day of
work, not too much happened. We were just contacting and looking for some new
investigators and some people to teach. It went alright, not the best day ever.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wednesday was awesome. We had a
multizona (multizone conference) with Juigalpa, Sandino, Managua, and Masaya (all
of the homies menos Elder Heileson). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elder Ochoa gave an awesome talk. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said a couple of things that hit me. He talked about
how we all needed to have more faith, that with more faith we can recieve more
revelation. He said to obtain more faith, we need to study it and then
act. He talked about finding investigators that were
"escogidos" (chosen) and how we will baptize more if we focus on
teaching just people that the lord has chosen, and not waste time doing lessons
just to get a lesson. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also
talked about how we should work to baptize every week and how we need to make
better the reason why we need to baptize. I really enjoyed his words and
his wife gave a great message too. It was awesome and the spirit
testified to me of some things I could do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday was also great. We had a
consejo de liderazgo (leadership training) with Elder Ochoa. That went
super well. President Russell was directing the conference and we were
talking about all the things we had learned. Elder Ochoa shared some cool
stories and helped us to understand more his message. I like what he said
at one point, when he said, "I want the Lord to be able to give you
more. For him to be able to bless you more you need to get better.
I am not asking that you get better from today to tomorrow, but that you all
try to be better people every day. Little by Little." I really
enjoyed that and know that I will have success as I get better every day. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

around. We had the baptism of a daughter of a less active. She was super
excited to get baptized and we have been reactivating her family with it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sunday was an alright day for me, not
the best ever but all of the converts I have had here came. Along with
their families. We have been able to reactivate like 3 or 4 families with
the people we have baptized recently which has been awesome. The
asistencia (attendance) here in San Marcos is also going up, so things are
going great! I hope that all of you have a great week, I am praying for
all of you. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">How is it going?? I hope everyone had
a great week, things are going well here and it was a super crazy week. I
always feel like I am running from place to place and never get to do the
things I want!! But here’s what happened this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Tuesday me and Elder Lambson worked
together, we had a pretty successful day and 3 of the people we found went to
church which was awesome. We just kind of dedicated it to contacting and
finding new people. We found an antigua investigator that we are going to be
working with. She knows everything just needs a little more testimony so
she can get baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Wednesday I did divisions with Elder
Fonseca. It was a day of divisions that was supposed to be in my area,
but I felt really bad because it turned into a day of running around in his
area and all over the zone. He had a possibility that needed to be
intervewed. It was a super crazy interview, we showed up and the neighbor told
us she had 3 parejas (wh</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">ich is surprising, but a lot of times normal
here). We verified the law of chastity and she was all good. She
was a little shaky but we helped her to realize the blessings she had received
from going to church and the ones she would receive from baptism and she
committed to do it. We then had to go and find some elders that didn’t
answer their phone (for 6 hours) it was super ridiculous and we ended up
working in my area for like 2 hours. Whoops!</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Thursday was a super awesome day
because I got to work with Elder Nave in my area. We had always wanted to
be companions since day one in the MTC so it was a blast working with him, we
had an alright day, got someone else interviewed in my area who is going to get
baptized this week and found some people. It was nice being able to work with
someone who has the same time, a lot easier!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

meeting in Elder Nave´s district. That went well. Saturday we ran around
committing everyone. That actually went well too and we got a lot of
people committed and ready to go to church.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Sunday morning the Lord blessed us
and we were able to bring 7! I was stoked. The rest of Sunday was also
super crazy and I had an awesome baptismal interview. Long story short,
the lady was preparing to be a nun and hadn’t said anything to the missionaries
at all until I got into the interview. So the head nun lady in Nicaragua
had called her, asking if she was going to do it and she told the lady she was
going to get baptized in our church. The catholic lady then told her to
remember how she was already baptized, to do what she wanted but that she
should be loyal. So she was kind of scared to tell her no, had doubts
about being baptized again, TONs of things. At the end of the interview I
helped her to understand with the scriptures how she could be baptized again
and pulled out a scripture in Alma, the usual 32:21 about how faith isn’t a
perfect knowledge, and how she didn’t need a perfect knowledge to be
baptized. She looked at me and said, "I just felt something inside
me that I have never felt before, like a happiness, harmony, peace" I
helped her to understand it was the Holy Ghost and she committed to be
baptized. One of the coolest interviews ever, and a testimony builder to
how the Spirit really does work. It was awesome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
