Look -I like selfies! |
Okay so here is the information you asked me about! ha ha :) I had
changes! Surprise! I'm am in the area, MiraFlores, which is in Managua! It is
really awesome! Our area is actually pretty wealthy, not Masaya, wealthy, but it is
pretty well set. :) My comps name is Elder Sanchez! He has 15 months in the
mission, and has served in 2 other areas! He's from Guatemala :) He and I get
along really well, and we are working like horses hahaha :)
Miraflores - New Casa |
Okay but there is a twist with our area, we have had to reopen Miraflores. There
were two sister missionaries here, but they weren't getting anything done, so
President closed the for a time, and now we are reopening it. It is really
really really hard. We literally have nothing to start off of. All we do all day
is contact casas, and look through our area book for people the sisters taught
in the past....which wasn't much. We started off this past Wednesday with 0 people
with fecha and finished yesterday with 12 people with a Baptism date for first of
June! It's so hard. Then on top of that, our ward is well.... its alright haha. We
have a SIMI (total ward members baptized) of 360ish, but they have only been
having 48 people in church every week. The 48 people are very fiel to the church,
and have really strong testimonies, but we have over three hundred inactive
members..... it's really bad. These first four days have been awesome, just super
super super hard. Our companionship goal is to have a church attendance of 100
in the next 6 months. Our first week here we raised the attendance from 48 to
60, so that was good! :) Its just really hard. But me and my comp are doing
awesome and getting along well!
maybe outside Elder's room/apt.? |

Love Elder Naisbitt
