Dear Mom and Dad!
I have not received the package yet, we have not gone to Managua, but I'm
sure I will get it on Wednesday when we are there for changes. I need changes! I
just want ties for my birthday, I love whatever kind of tie, especially the
striped-paisley ties! They are sweet! :) But that's it! Go Utes! That's awesome! we
heard about the game from a super rich member in our area! hahaha Elder Merrill
loves USU so it was a fun night! But we both HATE BYU so we get along great! :)
61 YW??????????? That has got to be the biggest group in the church! Wow!! Those
are the actives right, or is that the entire group? The pics of you guys at the
party were great!
Well this week went by super super fast! We found this super cool family
that seemed so positive this week, and then they did not go to church! They
figured going to the market was more important on Sunday.....That is the story
of this place! (Nicaragua as whole!) They love the market more than anything
else in the entire world! Does not matter what you tell them about the blessings
they could receive by going to church rather than the market, they still go! But
the saddest part is that to your face they completely commit to go to church and
not to the market! and Nicas are so convincing! We had this guy two weeks ago,
that was getting ready for what looked like the church, and we came to take him
there, and he tells us when we show up, " Don't worry about me, I'm going to show
up! I don't know why you guys worry so much about me, I'm going to go! When I say
yes, i mean it! I will not break my word!" Do you think he showed up? seems like
a pretty solid YES right? He did not show! LIAR! As of 3 months ago we were
teaching this guy that even committed to go to church on the "Blood of Jesus
Christ"! There is no way someone would not break that promise right? He did....
NICAS! haha I love them so much, they are just always lying about
EVERYTHING!
Any way sorry about the rant, but this week was good, we ended up with 9
investigators in church. 3 of them very important investigators that could get
baptized this month! We will so how fast they start progressing! we have to
teach them a lot to get them down, but, just like the Nicas say, If God wants
it, we will get them baptized!
Ill write you next week from my new area! Sorry for the short letter, we
have had really boring weeks haha.
I love you guys!
