Hermanos
y Hermanas Amados, como estan? Elder Campbell is still alive and super
excited to talk to you guys and tell you how my week went! First, I need
to know how the States are rolling with the election of Mr. Trump.
EVERYONE here in Nicaragua is losing their minds. I stand out like a fly
in milk (Elder Shoemaker too) and everyone asks me if I wanted to Trump
to win. NEVER ANSWER! Second, 10 more days until Thanksgiving. Time is
flying by. This morning we hiked up to that giant cross in Matagalpa!
Tuesday I got asked the question, "Who is Jesus Christ to you?" I just reflected for a minute and got thinking. Do the same!
Wednesday
was the day I found out Trump won and in just about every lesson I got
asked if I voted for him. I started telling investigators that I am from
El Salvador. They bought it :)
Thursday
we had another Reunion de Nevuos in Managua! We left the house around
4:45 to catch our bus. A dude at the bus stop lost his mind and me and
the other white Elders because Trump won. He was going on and on about
how he is the Devil and other wack. He finished by yelling, "GO HOME!
YOU'RE IN MY COUNTRY!" HAHAHA, I love the Nicas. The Reunion was
awesome! Poncio gave an awesome talk on remembering that we are
representatives of Christ every morning when we put on tag!
Friday,
I had divisions with Elder Rush! Coolest thing ever. To think I was
backpacking Coyote Gulch with Brigham Rush 8 months ago, and now we are
hiking mountains together in Nicaragua, teaching people about their
Savior.
Saturday was my Happy 2 Months in Nicaragua. Congrats Big Boy :)
Sunday
we had a Meeting with all of the branches in Matagalpa with President
Poncio and his wife! They both gave powerful talks that the members
needed to hear. I wish you guys could meet Pres. Poncio and Hermana
Poncio. Some of God's Elect for sure!
Yet
another saga added to the life of Elder Campbell. I hope you enjoy
reading these letters for you 5 or 6 that actually do! ;) Keep saying
your prays, reading the scriptures, and watching football. That is what
life is all about. Much love! Campbell Out (until next Monday)
Scriptures:
1. Acts 20:35- More blessed to give than to receive.
2. Acts 20:36-38- "They cried together and kissed his neck" What happens when a missionary is about to leave home.
3. Matthew 25:21- Well done, faithful servant
4. Alma 26:22- The Power we have.
"In
contrast to the institutions of the world, which teach us to know
something, the Gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become
something." -Elder Dallin H. Oaks
