A few of the investigators we are teaching are progressing and
getting ready for baptism! We have one 19 year named Ruth who should get
baptized this weekend. She has a little 1 year old daughter and she is
definitely an chosen of God to hear our message. She ALWAYS read the
Book of Mormon and has dropped coffee to get baptized. We've had some
dang spirtiual lessons with her, and I can honestly say my testimony has
grown while teaching her. She says the gospel and Jesus Christ give her
hope. I'm pretty sure her boyfriend or the dad of the kid destroyed her
emotionally. It's cool to see how the spirit really does go to the poor
of heart to help them learn of the Savior.
We
have this other guy named Jose Ramon and his wife Maria (AND LIKE 90
KIDS) That are loving the church as well. We are planning a wedding and
baptism for them the 8th of April. He says he can't repent and doesn't
want to get married, but we are moving along slowy but surely. He'll be
presidente of the rama here in Ocotal one day. I can't even beign to
explain how fun it is being a missionary. I meet the coolest people
every day. I get offered beer, drugs, and coffee too by all the bolos
and wackies in the areas. HAHA I love Nicaragua.
Times
have been hard, I'll be honest. But all you can do is be of good cheer
and hope and pray the Lord will deliever you. He says in John 16:33 that
he overcame the world, why can't I?
