Dear Mom and Dad,
Sorry the internet went
down yesterday as i was about to write you!
But hey I'm actually writing
you guys for real this week! Whoo hoo! :) Well its official, this is my last
Pday in the office... :( Im going to miss this place a lot... It has been so
much fun and so much hard work, but I have so many memories here. I am trying
to figure out where i am going... Dang I feel like I just got here in the
office, and im even more upset because I just got here in San Judas!!!
DARRRRNNNNN! But I know where i am sent is where in the Lord wants me to be!
Who knows what will happen though in the next week, but so I will be writing
not this Monday, but the following week on Monday! Now I should have zero
excuses to not write you guys every week! But this past week we had Elder
Duncan here, which is why we were not able to write, but that was an incredible
experience having him here! We learned a whole lot about how to accelerate the
work here in Nicaragua ,
and not only baptize 2000 every year, but more into the 3000s. Nicaragua has
such a high potential, we just needed to know to get to that potential. It was
really awesome! I think the whole mission is really excited about this new plan
that Elder Duncan gave us. He was very pleased about our job as secretaries,
and sent president a very personal letter about us, specifically he said that
we would go very far in life! Super awesome and kind of him to say that! Any
way we had a great week, even though we did not sleep that much, nor
participate much!
Well this week we have one
baptism of a kid named Jose Luis! He was chosen to be baptized! We found him
the we past week, and he chose to be baptized this Saturday! He had been to
church before, however the missionaries never mentioned baptism (silly missionaries)
so when we brought it up, he got really excited, and convinced his mom of this
decision! He has been going to seminary for the past 2 two weeks and loves that
as well! He will be a great convert!
I have been really
studying this week on getting back to the basics, since now I have new
scriptures now :) I am doing fine, im not mentally scared or anything haha! It
could have been a lot worse. Sister Russell was really freaked out as well, and
grateful that we are not hurt.
There have been other
people here in the mission that have received cameras, so I know it is
possible, it just depends on if we want to make the risk. I am good either way.
Ill go to the
mall and Pricesmart and see what they have in cameras. Hopefully it is not too
spendy!
Ill let you guys know
where I ended up in the coming weeks!
Im super excited and
super antsy!!! AHHHHH
I love you guys, thanks
for all of the support you guys are for me!
