Hola todos,
Things are just moving along down here in Nicaragua.
Elder Brooks and I are busier than ever, and things just keep on growing. we
have 6 progressing investigators right now and more are on their way. This week
we had to go to a multi zone conference in Managua, and that was pretty
awesome. Then Wednesday I did divisions with the zone leaders and that was good
too.
Friday was my 6-month mark which just seems so crazy. We ordered pizza at
night to celebrate so that was fun. Time has passed by so quickly and things
are just rolling along.
We worked hard Saturday to commit everyone to church
and teach all the people, and then Sunday we had church and meetings. We also
went to the Curzon’s for dinner (the gringo family here) and had American spaghetti
and brownies. That was exciting too.
Today we cleaned the house, went shopping
and rested. And now I am here again. It feels like just two hours ago I was
here writing last week. Time is just flying. I want it to slow down a little
bit, but all is well.
Fun things that happened this week: a bird pooped on
Elder Brooks which ruined his day but it made me laugh :) We found lots of Europeans
and Americans this week and by far my favorite was a man from Northern Ireland.
His accent was so cool.
Fun food experiences: we were eating lunch at our lunch
appointment yesterday and this guy walks in the house with this bag that was
moving, then the family calls us over to look in the bag and it turns out that
it was an opossum that the guy had caught. So, guess what I am having for dinner
tonight . . . Barbequed opossum. Should be fun. I will let you know how that
goes.
But life is good, and I am just loving it out here! I am so grateful to
serve out here! I love everything about this work! Thanks for all that you all
do!
Elder Erickson
