Hey
fam. These last week have been a little crazy. A lot of adjusting to the new
area and everything. I am still kind of sad that i am not in puerto anymore. I
miss my converts and miss the people and culture and especially the food
there.
Chinandega.
Chinandega is the hottest place in Nicaragua. It is frying over here. There is
a ton of dust too. It feels like a desert over here. My area is cool though. My
house is alright. Its big its just really dusty, really really dusty. I dont
really like everything looking all dirty all the time. Over here its a lot more
developed than Puerto. There is a mall in downtown and movie theater and all
that stuff. The people here speak good spanish good here, i miss speaking
miskito.
I am
in a ward. My first ward of my mission. A different family gives us lunch and
dinner every day. Its sweet. Feels like the states. The members are really
strong too. There are members here with more time than me in the church.
We are talking like 25 years. The attendance is about the same though. About
100 people went to church this week. The only thing was we didnt have to do
anything. We literally showed up to church with our investigadors and thats all
we had to worry about. We had a ward counsil and from what I saw if we left
from our area the ward would still move on without us because they are really
well organized. We even have a ward mission leader that leaves with us and
knows all of our investigadors.
On
monday, the area was pretty dead. There werent much investigadors and no one with
a date. We put in some work this week and now we have 13 investigadors and 7 of
them are on a date. We hope to keep having a lot of success this week.
As a
district leader I have to do numbers from the district every night. Its not too
bad it just takes extra time in the night. I also run the district meeting
every tuesday. I did a baptismal interview for the elders in my district this
week too. Its cool. I like it.
My
comps name is Elder Paz. He is a convert. Him and his sister are converts his
parents arent. He was baptized a little under 3 years and has a year in the
mission. He is a cool dude. I am learning a lot from him from his conversion
story and he can really connect to the people on taking the step of baptism
because he was baptized not to long ago.
Today
for people I played basketball for the first time in forever!!! I played with
Elder Rowe just like old times. It felt so good to have the ball in my hand and
be able to shoot on a real hoop. I hope to be playing as much as I can now. The
ward has a league too and some tall guys so I might jump in with them one of
these nights to get up and down a little bit!
Thats
what I got for you guys this week. Oh i almost forgot haha last week I hit my
18th month mark! less than 6 months and I will be home! Time is flying.
I
love you all! have a great week!
Elder
