1st area, Masaya,
I miss you a
lot mom, and I can't even begin to describe how well off Americans are..... We
taught this group of kids on Saturday and literally their house was tin roof,
wood sides, and dirt floor. but the worst was the yard. Their yard was like a river
of water (wouldn't call it water) in their backyard, and there were ducks
and the skinniest dog ever. Despite the conditions, these kids, are the happiest kids I have ever
seen. Its truly amazing. Elphy doesn't even know how good she has it! (haha.) So Just some stories
throughout the week :) Masaya is the greatest city ever! Its soooo peaceful and
like 0 crime.Everything is so chill! I met my companions on Wednesday after
during the changes. They call me their son, and they are my parents haha :)
funny haha :) everybody does this funny finger flicking thing here, and I'm getting the hang of it, but it basically means, heck yaaaa!, like we use it when
someone commits to baptism, or we got a response to our questions!
There is a
term we use here when we chew someone out for being lazy or just dumb, but we
say we gotta "Machete" them, or when the president "Machetes" missionaries with
a rust blade for getting bad numbers (haha.) so that will be a term that I think I'll use for the rest of ever!! The other one is Frick, even the locals so blah blah
blah freaking blah blah blah haha. its funny :) oooooooo the other one is a Spanglish term we use a lot, and its Crapiar :) basically crap :) yo voy a Crapiar :) Its hilarious!
We work so
hard mom, its unbelievable! Like we get home at night, and have just enough energy to plan for tomorrow and then we crash! Its so awesome to be feeling the
spirit all day, I can't describe the feeling of peace that is constantly with me.
I am stressed cuz we have a lot to do everyday, and you can see in one of the
pictures, so we are running around like crazy people! We try to contact 30
people a day, but that is pretty hard. We teach a lot, and when we aren't teaching, we are trying to contact. its nice however cuz the days fly by. :) oh
and your errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my precious watch is not stolen,
its in my bags, safe and sound. hopefully we get that package! :) Its super
cheap to send stuff down here, like 120 C$ which is like 5 bucks haha :) so I
will be looking for sweet stuff for you and the family when we have time
:)
Anyway, I love
you mom, and I really can't even describe how grateful I am for you! You are the greatest mom
in the entire world and I am truly a better person because of how incredible you
are! :)
Love ya mom!

Masaya, Nicaragua
MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you dad! Mom has the
full update,but i don't have a ton of time, but i want you to know this.
One I'm grateful to be your son. I have two true heroes', you and mom! I love and miss you
guys!
I'm in Masaya, Nicaragua and loving it! I could live here
forever, its peaceful and clean, and full of people so willing to receive the
gospel, its awesome!! We work so hard everyday and we can see miracles in our
lives from working this hard! The thing that drives me crazy is the lack of
faith that the people have. I love them and I know that they are Gods children,
but many of the people just have 0 faith. They wait for an angel to tell them what to
do, and can barely hear the still small voice. They all know the church is true,
and even more are reading the Book of Mormon everyday, but going to church is
the hardest thing to get people to do. Its maddening! I don't want to get frustrated, but it just drives me loco!!!!! :) Patience I guess. its
just super frustrating. Faith is dead without works....
Three are the list of missionary terms we use hahahaha :)
hopefully you get a kick out of this!
My favorite, Crapiar: spanglish for
crap.
Food's good!
:) Tell lauren and Ash I said Hello!!!!!!!!! and tell them
sorry for not getting to their emails, we are only on line for an hour, and its
like 0 time after I email you and Mom! Tell Ash I'm proud of him playing hard on his Jr. Jazz team! Also, Tell Laubs she
rocks, and that I love her! I miss hearing EEEEEEEEE
Garrett!!!!!
Love you guys!!!!!
