My 15 and the best gift
March
27-April 2, 2018
This
week was a very crazy week! So if you don’t know yet I got changed out of
Puerto Cabezas and am now back in Chinandega. I have a new companion named
Hermana Dominguez from Honduras and she is brand new from the MTC. She’s really
great.
Anyway,
so my companion and I got to this area and had met some kids that were
attending seminary and church and we began to teach them. But one Thursday they
said they were going to seminary I had told them to come to the activity after
seminary. One kid, Enardo, did come and the other one, Samuel, didn’t come at
all. They instead went to go play soccer. SO the next day we had planned with
our district leader to do their interviews so as we get to Samuel’s house he
comes out with a cast on his arm! He had broken his arm playing soccer! Hahaha
it was kind of funny we all laughed about it because I had told him not to go!
Anyway the good thing is his cast is white. SO on Wednesday when I hit 15
months both Samuel and Enardo were able to get baptized! It was super special!
And
then during General Conference THEY ANNOUNCED MANAGUA NICARAGUA TEMPLE. AND MY
HEART DROPPED. I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE IT. IM SO HAPPY. I’m also so happy to be
here in this mission at this time.
One
of the best parts of this week was after Samuel and Enardo’s baptism when they
asked them if they actually liked coming to church and they go "if I didn’t
like to come to church I wouldn’t have gotten baptized. If I wasn’t sure of my
decision I wouldn’t have gotten baptized." Makes me so happy to know how
the spirit touches so many people. And then in the conference when they
announced the temple Enardo was so excited and he goes "that’s the temple I’m
getting married in." Enardo is also determined to go on a mission. His
family isn’t member, but they are supporting him so in a year or so he can go
on a mission. I’m so excited to keep seeing their progress.
I
also really love this ward and how much they love us and how much they take
care of us. I LOVE THIS COUNTRYYY.
HAVE AN AMAZING
WEEK!
