10 Months
Monday, October 30, 2017
This week I hit a year since my call came and 10 months on the mission. So I'm going to share 10 things about Puerto Cabezas.
1. Every Friday night at 7:00pm we speak on the radio about Jesus and stuff, and it's actually pretty fun.
2. Here in Puerto it's culture to eat turtles. They eat the meat of the turtle and there are tables with it on corners where they sell them. I don't know if I have eaten it yet. I believe I haven't, but I never ask what I'm eating so.
3. The other night we listened to a man tell us for about an hour that we need to stop wearing pants because wearing pants is not a christian thing to do and no one will receive us if we're wearing pants. And basically that I'm going to hell if I'm wearing pants. But after we left we were able to get permission for Chino to get baptized the next day.
4. This change we had a sister we were teaching and she was super positive and super pumped for her baptism and the only thing that she needed was to get married. So we talked with her husband to get baptized and he was like we already got married and baptized in that church two years ago. And so that was super happy and confusing because she already is baptized, but like no wonder she was progressing so well. hahahaha we thought that was kind of a good laugh.
5. One pday (preparation day), as a zone we went to Tuapi and play there. It is a place by the river and it is super beautiful.
6. Here they speak a dialect called miskito and I am progressing in learning it, but one day I will I am going to learn it.
7. Every time someone gives us coconut to eat it stains my clothes, so they are all ruined. But it's ok.
8. Also here there are chiggers and it is the worse seriously. I have like 20 on me and I have to put alcohol all over so they die. But it will pass.
9. This month as a zone we were able to break the record for most baptisms so tomorrow the whole zone is going to Mission home to eat dinner. It is a 17-hour bus ride, but it'll be fine. hahaha
10. But the best part about serving here is the spirit I have felt when I testify of Jesus. I feel it. I know it. And it's one of the best parts of what I do.
I love where I am and I love what I am doing.
Love you all and thank you for everything you've done for me. Aisabe.

Esta semana hace un
año que recibí mi llamamiento y 10 meses que estoy en la misión. Entonces les
voy a compartir 10 cosas acerca de Puerto Cabezas.
1. Todos los
viernes a las 7 de la noche hablamos en la radio acerca de Jesús y cosas así y
en verdad que es medio divertido.
2. Acá en Puerto
Cabezas es cultura comer tortugas. Comen la carne de la tortuga y hay mesas en
las esquinas donde las venden. No sé si ya he comido tortuga. No creo, pero
como no pregunto qué me dan de comer no sé.
3. La otra noche como
por una hora escuchamos a un hombre decirnos que teníamos que dejar de usar
pantalones porque eso no es cristiano y que nadie nos iba a recibir si usábamos
pantalones. Y básicamente que me voy a ir al infierno por usar pantalones. Pero
después que nos fuimos pudimos tener permiso para bautizar a Chino al siguiente
día.
4. Este cambio había
una hermana que estábamos enseñando y ella estaba súper positiva y emocionada
para su bautismo y lo único que le faltaba era casarse. Entonces hablamos con
su esposo para que se bautizara y él dijo hace como dos años que nos casamos y
bautizamos en esa iglesia. Y estábamos súper felices y confusas porque por eso
estaba progresando tan bien. Jajaja esto nos hizo reír.
5. Un día de
preparación pudimos ir como zona a Tuapi y jugar ahí. Es un lugar junto al río
y está súper bonito.
6. Aquí hablan un
dialecto que se llama miskito y ahí voy progresando en mi estudio de idioma.
Pero algún día voy a aprender.
7. Siempre que nos
regalan coco para comer mancha mi ropa y toda mi ropa está arruinada. Pero está
bien.
8. Aquí hay
chiggeers y es lo peor en verdad. Tengo como 20 en mi cuerpo y tengo que
ponerme alcohol para que mueran. Pero ya va a pasar.
9. Como zona este
mes rompimos el récord para más bautismos entonces mañana vamos a la casa de la
misión a cenar. Es un viaje de 17 horas en autobús, pero está bien. Jajaja.
10. Pero la mejor
parte de servir acá es el espíritu que siento cuando testifico de Jesús. Lo
siento. Lo sé. Y es la mejor parte de lo que hago.
Amo donde estoy y
lo que estoy haciendo.
Los amo a todos y
gracias por todo lo que han hecho por mí. Aisabe.

Tropical Storm Nate
Monday, October 16, 2017
Helloooo, sorry it's been a few weeks.
But I have been moved to another area named Puerto Cabezas. It's basically like a new mission. It's on the other side of the country, speak a new language and have like a new way of living. I had to take about an hour plane ride from Managua to here. We have to wake up at 5:30am and go back home by 8pm.
We have seen so many miracles here in Puerto, the people here are so great. The weather is crazy hot and then it rains a ton! There was a tropical storm, but it was fine. The only thing is my clothes I washed took forever to dry. Oh and then that day we ate at a cool restaurant with Presidente.
People here give us lobster to cook all the time and it's so good. People go to the ocean and bring so much! So they give us some, it's great.
My compa is from Guatemala and she's awesome. We are trying to work really hard out here with the rest of the zone.
I can't remember anything else.
Love you all!
Hermana Cortez.

Hola, lo siento que hace varias semanas no escribo.
Pero estoy en otra área que se llama Puerto Cabezas. Es básicamente como una misión nueva. Está del otro lado del país, hablando otro idioma y un estilo de vida diferente. Tuve que tomar un vuelo de una hora desde Managua hasta acá. Nos levantamos a las 5:30 de la mañana y volvemos a casa a las 8 de la noche.
hemos visto tantos milagros en Puerto, la gente aquí es excelente. ¡El clima es súper caluroso y después llueve mucho! Pasó una tormenta tropical, pero todo bien. Lo único es que la ropa que lavé tardó muchísimo en secarse. ¡Oh! Y ese día fuimos a comer a un restaurante 'cool' con el Presidente.
La gente aquí todo el tiempo nos da langosta para cocinar y es buenísimo. ¡La gente va al océano y trae muchísimo! Entonces nos dan y es súper.
Mi compa es de Guatemala y es increíble. Estamos tratando de trabajar fuerte al igual que el resto de la zona.
No me acuerdo nada más.
¡Los quiero a todos!

Puerto Cabezas
Monday, October 10, 2017
No letter again, just photos. In her quick note, she seems good, learning new language (I asked if she got it down, and she said 'are you kidding ma? it is so hard' hahaha), dealing with a lot of mud after the flooding from tropical storm Nate (wasn't too bad in their area). She said this area is like a mission on itself, waking up earlier, going home earlier so really tired at end of day. Like I said, not a lot of info this week, but here are some photos.
