To
start it all out, I was walking by the cemetery in Matagalpa to go the
house of an investigator with Elder Rush. As we walked past a house, we
saw A MONKEY tied up to the tree in the front like a flippin' dog! I'd
never been so happy in my entire life. Of course, I gave that sucker a
little pamphlet and invited it to be baptized. You can all assume the
answer I got.. Hahaha I love this place.
I also
ran into 3 white kids from California in the park. It was thee hardest
thing trying to explain about the mission in English..
NOW: THE MIRACLE!
We
had a baptism! Noemis, one of our long time investigators of this
change. She fought against every member of her family because she knew
what we taught her was true! All of her family are members of a
different church and wanted nothing to do with us, but the Lord is
always preparing people for us. This is why I love this work, we find
the Lord´s chosen sheep in the most unlikely places!
The
day of her baptism, she totally lied to her blind mom (that factor made
it a little easier for her to escape for a few hours) and came to the
church with us. Don't worry, she is 22 so she was able to make the
decision for herself, we just had to do a little plan Nica! She shared
her testimony with us and it was night and day that change that occurred
the past 4 weeks.
Sadly, that is all I have
time for this go around. I love you all! I heard a quote from an
ex-president of the mission from Nicaragua. He said,´´Obedience is a
commitment to Jesus Christ not only for all of your mission, but for all
of your life as well.´´ Think about that pup for a few seconds or so. I
wish you all killer weeks!
