This week we went to Chinendega for a multi zone
conference with president Collado. It was so great, i feel
like we learned a lot on how to be better missionaries. He
also talked about his departure that's coming in a few months.
I'm going to be really sad to see the Collado family leave. He
has been a great president from the start. Luckily I had him
for almost all of the mission.
Elder Sirrine and I have worked really hard this week to
find some new families to teach. Those that we had are not
really progressing to well. We have had a really hard time
baptizing, but this week i think we will have one. We are
hopefully going to have a marriage and baptism if all goes
well.
Today we went and played a game of soccer on some
AstroTurf courts. That's right, AstroTurf in Nicaragua! It was
by far the best fields i have seen here. We did a soccer game
between the missionaries. We had the companionship with an
Elder From the University of Utah soccer team, so we won. We
sweated so bad, my shirt was soaked. It was pretty gross, but
really nice afterward to take a shower.
We did divisions again in Poneloya, when its not tourist
season there, its kind of a ghost town. We walk all day and
only pass a handful of people on the roads. Anyway it was
beautiful. In the morning we ran on the beach for exercise. We
also ate lunch at the house of some recent converts. We got
some pork chops that still had the skin and hair on it, so I
did not have to much of an appetite. That's kind of a delicacy
for these people here.
Well, the time left in the mission is passing really to
fast. I thought that when i started my mission I would never
finish, and I could not wait to finish. Now that has turned to
be the quite opposite really. I feel really nervous to end and
go back to the normal world. I have grown to love these people
so much, its going to be really sad to leave them.
Thanks for all you guys do, love you all a ton!
