Family
and friends, what is going on? First off, thank you to all you locos
who wished me a happy birthday, much love for you all! I cannot believe
my mother birthed me 19 long years ago. Thank you mother for everything
you've done for me and the fam bam. I love you loads! Shout out to Elder
Ogden for finally entering the field man, give them heaven! Elder
Topham, I love you man. Don't get too fat eating all that fried good
stuff. Finally, Kendyl Moss! Congrats on your call to Ecuador! I am so
pumped for you. Spanish gang! Kam Abilla too for her call to Mexico. I'm
so proud :) Another week, livin' the life in Nicaragua. Here's how she
went:
Monday
we played tons and tons of futbol. Elder Hobbs and I walked around
Matagalpa and got the most ghetto haircuts. Beloved P-Days.
Tuesday,
we had one of the biggest miracles. We ran into a lady who had
missionaries sent to her 5 years ago but never got baptized because she
split to the mountain to cut coffee during her investigation of the
church. Elder Hobbs just had a feeling to contact her on the street and
now she wants to get baptized this upcoming weekend. The Lord works in
mysterious ways. Imagine how different it could've been if we didn't
plan to be in that area at that time. I love life!
Wednesday
we did splits and I worked with a returned missionary named Elvis. Some
bolo kept stalking me and Elvis told him off. BRO!
Thursday
morning I met some Jehovah's Witness from Alaska in the store. Super
funny seeing another white dude here. After, Elder Hobbs and I thought
we had parasites so we went to a lab and had to poop in a freaking cup!
The good news though: Parasite free baby!
Friday
I went on another split up to Jinotega. I didn't get to work much
because the Elder I was with had to do interviews for baptisms all day.
:( Still, Jinotega is the flippin' jungle so I got to see some cool
views!
Saturday
was the big day! I got a free cinnamon roll in the morning at this
place called Yum Yum's, then we went over to lunch date's house in Sor
Maria. SHE GOT A FLIPPIN' CAKE FOR MY BDAY! I had never been so happy in
my whole life. A family, who has so little, cared enough for me to get a
cake. Humbling moment that was for me. I love them so much! Tons of
photos below! After, I just kind of forgot it was my birthday and hit
the ground running. You just kind of forget about yourself and realize
how important it is to serve the people and your companion. No better
feeling! :)
Sunday
we had such an awesome attendance at church! Hard working week paying
off. Later, it rained SO HARD. The roads in Sor Maria were straight
rivers. I had never seen anything like it. I just love it here so much.
The
Lord gives us special experiences to remind us of the importance of the
work. I am so grateful for that. He continues to show me weakness
though and ways I can improve. I am always extremely grateful for that.
I'm seeing miracles, big and small, everyday. Nothing better than the
mission. I love you all so much! I hope you had a killer week. Keep on
keepin' on!
