Letter to All:
Well the week didn´t
start of too great...We went home after P-day to shower and there wasn´t any
water (it happens from time to time, the same with electricity) luckily we had
some water bottles stored in the house so I showered with about 6 liters of water.
Ha-ha that would never happen back home!
There are a lot of
members in Nicaragua but more or less 20% are active, not good at all!
They always have some excuse not to go to church, if there weren´t so
many less actives they´d have a temple no problem.
A lot of Nicaraguans
lie, they´ll commit to do something and they hardly ever will. 4 of our
new investigators hide when we show up so it looks like we´ll drop them.
Luckily we have new ones to teach.
Raul and also Vilma
both have been taught a lot but don´t read or pray but we´ve been working
really hard to animate them to do it, I believe they´ll do it this week!
We have a new
investigator Milton and also his wife they have a child who is a member and
look really positive but they aren´t at home much.
Yesterday the sister
we eat dinner with gave us the reference of her cousin and neighbor, we went
over and had a family night with them and watched “Together Forever”. They´re a family of 3. They liked it a lot and
they look very positive. They have received great blessings lately.
Also the mother (Christian) donated tithing to our church a few days
before we met them, she felt very blessed and wanted to give money to our
church because she knows in the other churches the money goes to the pastors.
I believe they´ll be great investigators and be baptized.
We are planning an
activity in August to boost the ward’s desire to do missionary work hopefully,
all will go well. Also, I may do an English class.
A funny story that
happened yesterday: We were meeting with members and a drunk came up to
me (happens a lot) and wanted to talk to me, he said Elmer, Elmer....Eler.
Then shook my hand 3 different times and said I love you in English and
walk away. I found that to be very funny! There are a lot of drunks
here.
Well that´s all for
this week, Love you all!
