Rats and Becoming Nicaraguanese - February 27, 2017

Hola todos!

This week was a pretty good week! I will give you the run-down of what happened: Tuesday we went to Managua for a multi zone conference which was really good like normal (President Brown is the man), Wednesday I went on divisions with the Zone Leaders which was fun and I learned a lot. 

Friday, we had interviews with President which were awesome too, and then Saturday we had a ward activity which was also fun. This week I realized I am officially in the culture when they gave me some soup and I was excited to eat it. I remember when I first got her and it was absolutely disgusting. Well there you go. soy Nicaraguans. 

I am just loving it here! I love Granada especially. Things are going well here and the work moves on. We have a couple of investigators and they are going well and they should be baptized in this coming month. Funny story: Sunday night I was closing the back door when a mouse ran in. I told Elder Bonilla and he lost his mind. He was up on shoes at it and I was chasing it around the room, and eventually he nailed it from across the room. it was pretty great. good time here! Have a great week!

Not a lot of time this week. In short we couldn't use our cyber, because ther was no room, so we had to go to the church, and the taxi driver tookl his time to get here. This week Elder Rasband visited us and it was really awesome! I will write more next week! Life is crazy here! Hope all is well!

Roll with the Changes - February 13, 2017

Hola!

This week was not how I expected it to go. First off Elder Brooks got changed, and I am now training. My new companions name is Elder Bonilla, he is from El Salvador. He is a really good guy and I will enjoy working with him. So that was not what I expected but hey life is good. 

This week we had another baptism and that was really awesome! The new members name is Adriana and she is really awesome! She already has an awesome testimony and is an awesome member. 

I had to switch back into Spanish mode this week, because Elder Bonilla doesn’t speak English, but that is good and I am excited to go back into Spanish 100% mode. We are still working with a lot of our investigators to get to baptism and things are coming along, and what can I say life is good! I almost totally forgot! Today is my 7-month mark. Que rapido. time is weird. this week we also have a multi mission, so that should be fun! I need to roll, but thank you all for everything! Why is the time always gone?

Best Burger in Granada - February 6, 2017

Hola todos!

Life is crazy! This week was a good week. This Wednesday is changes, but I think (hope) that Elder Brooks and I will be staying here. Life is good in la estacion. We will hopefully have two baptisms this Saturday and more to come this month. I think I am finally getting the hang of mission. more or less. 

Things are good, but that means I am about to find out that I still have a lot to learn. This pday was pretty fun. Elder Brooks and I got haircuts and then we went thrift shopping, and then we went to this great place to eat. It was a restaurant we found and it was so good. It tastes just like American hamburgers. It was so great! It made my day! Then we went to a museum and that was okay. It was a pretty good day overall. 

Things are just rolling along here. Of all things I have learned this week is that God is in charge! I read John 15 and it was really awesome and helped me learn about missionary work! I love this work and being here! Life is awesome! thank you all for everything! Have a good time up there in the states!
