Hey! Well this was a pretty
solid week! Lots of walking involved...it's like that primary song about
pioneers...missionariessss sang as they walked and walked and walked and
walked. Haha But it was a great week, although nothing crazy exciting happened.
Cambios were this past week.
Our district is almost the same, but one of the elders got his Visa for his
mission in Mexico, so he left and a new elder came...he has about 5 months in
the mission. He's way cool. I seriously love my district. We're a little
ragamuffin team that has fun while getting results...haah. BUT the crazy part
was that they closed 2 zones...I have no idea why. Zona Sandino is now part of
Zona Managua...and Zona Los Pueblos (where I am) is now part of Zona Masaya! So
I didn't have changes, but I'm now in a different zone. I was kind of sad when
they told me, because Los Pueblos was a little zone that baptized a lot, but
now we're part of a zone with 28 people, so we're expected to have more
results. Oh well. The perk is that a lot of my friends are in Masaya..and there
are WAY more sisters! there were only 4 elders in masaya before. Now it's more
balanced out. It'll be good. One of our ZLs is the same and the other seems
pretty cool.
So remember how I mentioned the
branch choir? yeah...guess who became the director of said choir. Yep. You
guessed right...ME! Haha. The branch pres. was in charge of it before, but on
Fri, when everyone went to practice, he had to do an interview so he asked me
to help...then afterwards he said he wouldn't be able to direct the choir and
asked me to. Oh dear. Haha The things i get myself into. But we're singing 2
songs. I am a Child of God and one called A Ti, Señor...I've heard it in English
before but I have no idea what it's called. But the second one is SO high! It's
gonna be interesting. Branch conference is this weekend, so we'll see how it
all goes.
We've been working hard with
the people we found last week. They live in a place called the Pencal, which
isn't insanely far, but it's still a decent walk. It's a more agricultural
part, which means all the people give us free fruit. YAY! I love me some fruit!
haha There are some really positive people...some have even gone to church before
but lost contact with the missionaries when they sent hermanas here about a
year ago. It's gonna be good. I have big plans for my area. Someone told me
that my area didn't baptize very much, but that is a LIE because with a little
hard work, everything is possible.
We've been working with a 15 yr
old named E. Her grandma and aunt are members, but no one else in her
family. She has some struggles with praying and looking for an answer...but I
know that she will receive an answer and we are trying to help her. It was
pretty hard to gain her trust, but then my comp started joking about how
I would end up marrying a Nicaraguan (that crazy girl) and everyone ended up
dying of laughter...and now we're good friends...haha. She could be baptized whenever
she wants...so hopefully sooner than later!
I have been able to feel the
Spirit working with us this week. It's really cool to see how He guides and
protects us. We just have to pay close attention and we will receive the
answers and help that we need! A lot of times I honestly have no idea what to
say to people, but the Spirit is always there to step in when I need help. I
just have to open my mouth and the words come.
Well, I'm glad that Father's
Day went well! Hard to believe that we're already halfway through June.
Craziness! I hope you all have a great week! Love you! Cuidense!
