I cant tell you how happy all of your emails
make me! Davis sent me a bunch of video clips from back home,
and I cant lie, it sure makes me excited to come back. It
feels almost like a dream, something that when I started felt
like it would never end. Only five weeks left now. Cant wait
to see you guys!.
This week I went to Managua to pick up my new trainee
missionary! It was a really long ride all the way from Corinto
to Managua. I stayed with Elder Mejia from Spain and we left
at three thirty in the morning to get to Managua at 9. We
thankfully arrived on time, and all was well. We then had a
four trainers meeting before we got to know our comps. Then we
joined the two groups of trainers and trainees together and
received the new missionaries. My comps is Elder Hendrix from
Georgia. Hes a really nice guy who loves martial arts and has
a southern accent. After the meeting a few buses took us back
to the bus terminal and we took the 4 hour bus ride back to
Chinandega. Before we got to Corinto the buses had ended so we
stayed the night with the zone leaders. They didn't have a lot
of fans so we slept outside on some mattresses, only to wake
up to a huge thunder storm that got me a little soaked! And
lightning that made the car alarms go off. We left to Corinto
the following morning and all was well. had a great week
together.
Our investigator Stalin (Whos Latino and Russian hence
the name) Got baptized this week! He is such a great kid. His
baptism was also on his 13 birthday, so we had a party
afterward. His grandpa is a member of the high council in
Managua, so he came to do the baptism and the confirmation. It
was a really great experience. Hes really excited to get the
priesthood this week as well.
Joselyn who we baptized a few weeks ago is moving to New
York today to live with her parents. First shes going to
Salvador, then from There to New York. Sad thing to see the
converts take off so fast..
All else is really great here. Yesterday was a scorcher,
i`d say the hottest its been yet in Corinto. Hopefully we`ll
get some cool weather soon.
Love you all so much and cant wait to see you soon.
