Naksa pamili!
Thanks for all your great emails and photos! There is
a word in the mission called trunky, which means homesick,
and these photos sure make me feel trunky, but in a good
way. Its funny how things change. Of course I always miss
you guys, but the homesick is always the worst at the
beginning of the mission. Its not that I miss you guys any
less now, its just that I know I don't have as long to wait
till I come home. Today I complete 75 Percent done!
This week was great. We had a great investigator that was
all ready for baptism, reading the book of Mormon, going to
church, and in the last day.... She talked with her family
and they convinced her not to get baptized, because she
already has her religion. That's the biggest challenge we
have here as missionaries. Everyone professes to have their
own religion here, but no one really keeps the
commandments.
We did find a really great family though. They went to
church on Sunday with us, and now the father is going to the
sea for ten days. They are planning on getting married and
baptized when the comes back. He wanted to get baptized last
week, but he had to go to church first. We have been
fighting to baptize these past weeks, but have not had any
success. I believe this week for sure we will have one.
This is a photo of some of my favorite peeps in
Nicaragua. There is the District President in the suit, The
big guy is the branch President. The dude with white hair is
my convert Francisco. He is super cool! Everyone except the
district president and one other are recent converts. The
work is sure accelerating here in Puerto.
Today we watched a show called Freetown. Its a story
about missionaries in Africa. It was great. What's crazy is
my friend Warner Ashby just went through there on his
mission last week. Cool stuff.
Thanks for everything family! Love you guys so much, stay
strong in keeping the commandments, they will bless your
life. Love you all!
