On Monday, we
had one of the best Noche de Hogares at the house of my good friend,
Flabio. His wife has been inactive for quite sometime and we were able
to share an inspiring message about the family. We felt the Spirit like
crazy. Flabio then wrote a dope poem and gave us raisins and juice from a
plastic bag. (Plan Nica.) Flabio is like that cool uncle in your
family!
Thursday, the boys and I completed 1
year of missionary service! We had our monthly Consejo on Friday so the
entire world was at our house having a sleeping over. In honor the
occasion, we smoked up the oven in the backyard and did some pyro
action! From boys to men.. 1 year later! (McCord!)
Last
night, we went to the house of a huge family that are all members.
Except one. The daughter of our good buddy, Luis, who has been going to
church for years and years, but could never get baptized because he
mother (who lives in another part of Managua) never would allow it. Her
father was scared to confront his wife (.....) and just let her be, as a
dry Mormon. We've tried for months to help her get baptized, but she
feared her mother too much. We began our fast, and begged the Lord to
let a miracle occur. We put it into his hands! We went to their house at
about 8:00 pm, walking past all the drunks in the world, with a purpose
to have her baptism for the following morning. Elder Diaz and I shared
the story of the 3 valiant young men in Daniel 3 and explained that the
Lord will always be with us, especially as we face our fears. We
explained that the Lord needs valiant sons and daughters and that he
would bless her life immensely if she would put her trust in him. The
Lord worked wonders and she accepted! This morning, we were able to have
one of the most spiritual baptismal services and testimony meetings I
have been apart of because almost every member of her family went
forward and bore their love for this Gospel.
Just
as Peter explained, The Lord is not a respecter of persons (Acts
10:34-35). He does not care who we are or what we have. All he wants is
our will. Our life. Our dedication. If we give that to him, loving him
with all our hearts (1 John 4:18, that is when he steps in and changes
our lives forever.
Nicaragua is the land of promise that all the ancient Prophets talked about, I swear.
Sure do love you guys, especially the members of my family. Keep on keepin' on and have the best week yet!

Moroni 7:42-48
