Well, after
13 months I finally accomplished a mission dream, which is.. Set foot in
Puerto Cabezas! After working a few days throughout Managua with other
companionships outside of our zone, Elder Diaz and I hopped on a little
12 seater, double engine plane with President Poncio at 6:00 am and
arrived on the east coast visit our little pueblo of missionaries! They
talk in another language (Miskito) and I literally felt a renewed love
for the work. Puerto is a legend in our mission because of how much they
baptize and all the insane stories and tales that come out of the
place. I felt like Moses when the Lord told him to remove his shoes
because he was on holy ground the second I got off that wobbly plane.
The Lord is preparing something special out on the east coast of
Nicaragua! We had a little zone meeting with the 18 missionaries out
there, explored a little bit, saw some cool people and houses, ate
lunch, and boom, back on the plane. Do you believe in miracles?
My dear friend Elder Nonu received the cursed pink eye this week... keep him in your thoughts.
My
good ol´friends Elder Hughes and Elder Fankhauser from Estelí came down
to do some divisions in the Maximo! It was like a MTC reunion haha. We
found an iguana at a recent converts house and he let us play with it. I
love Nicaragua haha!
We have been dry this
entire mouth with all of our investigators and their baptisms. To be
honest, we have be frustrated, but we put it into the Lord´s Hands and
he delivered. Every time I have fasted in my mission, a miracle has
occurred. 2 weeks after we did our fast, today at church, one of old
investigators showed up BY HERSELF! She explained that she still wanted
to learn more and get baptized this following Saturday. We told her we
could help out with that! He always works in mysterious ways, but
something I do know is that he prepares people especially for us. That
is the biggest truth I can testify up to this point!
Happy Independence Day Nicaragua! Sure do love you.
Good
luck to ALL my buddies out in the field and for those loved ones who
are entering into the real deal (the field) this week and in the
following weeks. The Lord has great things in store for all of you!
Until next week, beloved family and friends!
Elder Campbell
1 Samuel 25: ALL
scripture can be in similitude of Christ if we search hard enough with
the Holy Ghost. I love the story of Abigail. She pleads with David to
forgive her husband who trespassed against him and she says she will
take the sin UPON herself, just as the Savior does for each one of us.
