Dear Mom and Dad!

Thanks for the awesome update! Utes won 62-20???? I had to read that paragraph twice to make sure that I read that right!! Wow! That is awesome! Hopefully they keep the good attitude and everything goes well for them this year! I want to see a good bowl game when I get home! ;) But really! :) I loved seeing Baylee and Trevor! That's so great! Like mom said, we have seen so many miracles happen for them, and it makes me so happy that the Lord is always working, and preparing his children to receive the restored gospel! Laubs Pics were good too! She looks so old now! almost 18.... Wow! crazy!

So I have to write super fast because I do not have a lot of time, but I will do an abbreviated email, but it should still kick butt  like normal! ;) Joking! 

So we have been working super hard in the area trying to get more investigators progressing for the month of October! We have been using the members a lot more to find new investigators, which has been awesome! We have this awesome new convert named Luisa, and she is basically a sister missionary hahaha, she is always wanting to work with us, and does a lot of contacting on her own, so when we pass by her house she has like 5 people that she has talked to that are ready to talk with missionaries! the members here in Managua are awesome! 

We had a super awesome miracle happen this week with an eternal investigator (Someone who has listened to the missionaries for a long time, but wont commit to baptism) decide she was ready to get baptized on the 10th  of October! AWESOME! her kids are all members, and most of her family, but since I have come, we have been working super hard with her to commit to live the law of chastity and get married, but she prayed about it, and felt that it was better to get separated until her husband was ready to get married. She accepted the invitation to get baptized yesterday night! we are super happy for her! Her name is Mira! :)

On Saturday we had 3 baptisms! A lady named Mariela and her daughter Michelle, and another girl named Jennifer! The three are super awesome! Especially Mariela and Michelle! Mariela was an investigator of Gold! She is one of my favorite converts! She is super smart, and loves church! 

On Saturday was one of our Recent Converts birthday, named Francis! Her family invited us to come and celebrate her birthday! The entire family are all converts, so it was a good night after the baptisms! 

Sunday we brought 10 investigators to church, and then started working again! Its all the same routine in the mission! Work all week long for Sunday! Sunday is the day that you can tell if you did your job and worked hard or not. We need to work harder and keep finding new investigators so we always have people teaching!

And that is the week! I attached a copy of my "trunky papers" to the email. that is all the information of my return. The only part I'm sure you guys want to see is the return date. Its on the second page highlighted in yellow. I will be home the 10th of December. In a few days you should be getting a copy of my flight itinerary in your emails! Hopefully!

Love you guys! Tell everyone tonight I said hi, and I love them!

Instrucciones para viajar con los padres atrás.

Misioneros que quieren viajar con sus padres de vuelta a su hogar
Los misioneros deben viajar directamente a su casa después de su misión. Cualquier otro viaje es permitido solo cuando el misionero es acompañado por uno o ambos padres o guardianes. La Iglesia desalienta que los padres recojan a su misionero. Sin embargo, si ellos solicitan este privilegio, los padres deben saber lo siguiente:
·         Sus planes deben ser establecidos basándose en la fecha de relevo establecida por el presidente de misión.
·         No deben solicitar un cambio en la fecha de relevo para acomodarla con otros planes de viaje ó compromisos.
·         Deben informar al presidente de misión y a la Oficina de Viajes de la Iglesia con un mínimo de tres meses de anticipación informando que quieren viajar con el misionero.
·         Se espera que ellos hagan sus propios arreglos, incluyendo el viaje, estadía y comida.
·         El Presidente de misión no debe hospedar padres en la casa de la misión o hacer ningún otro tipo de arreglos para ellos.
Los misioneros que regresan deben entender que no deben imponer sobre miembros, misioneros u otras misiones a medida que viajen.
Los padres que deseen viajar con su misionero de ahora en adelante deben organizar los vuelos para sí mismos y su misionero. La iglesia no coordinará más viajes con padres. La Oficina de Viajes de la Iglesia  mandará un cheque de reembolso en el monto que la Iglesia hubiera gastado en el vuelo para el misionero, el reembolso se mandará un mes antes de su fecha de relevo. Todavía se requiere que los padres contacten a la Oficina de Viajes de la Iglesia para hacerles saber que van a ir por su misionero. Esto es para que no ellos no compren vuelos y que se pueda citar el monto de reembolso (Manual del Presidente de Misión, p.67).

Missionaries traveling with parents
Missionaries should travel directly home from their missions. Any other travel is permitted only when the missionary is accompanied by at least one of his or her parents or guardians. The Church discourages parents from picking up their missionary. However, if they do request this privilege, parents must understand this:
·         Their plans must be based on the release date established by the mission president.
·         They should not request a change in the release date to accommodate other travel plans or commitments.
·         They should inform the mission president and the Church Travel Office at least three months in advance if they plan to travel with their missionary.
·         Parents are expected to make their own arrangements, including travel, lodging, and meals.
·         The mission president is not expected to host parents in the mission home or make any other arrangements for them.
Returning missionaries must understand that they are not to impose on members, missionaries, or other missions as they travel and that they are to dress and conduct themselves as missionaries.
Parents who wish to pick up their missionary should arrange flights for themselves and their missionary. The Church will no longer coordinate return travel with parents. Church Travel will send a reimbursement check in the amount the Church would have spent on the ticket to the family one month before the release date. Parents will still be required to contact Church Travel to let them know they will pick up their missionary. This is so we do not purchase flights and
