HOLY HABITS, RIGHTEOUS ROUTINES November 26, 2017

Nicaragua has yet to disappoint in the almost 16 month journey that I have been embarked on. One walks in the street, hears almost every type of cuss word, in English and Spanish, sees the beautiful houses, filled with families upon and families, and is instantly filled with a Christ-like love for every single one of them! Turkey Day was a treat and the miracle of our dearest grandma, Mayra all took place in this oh so fast week of mine.

Monday, my main man, Francisco accepted the baptismal invitation for the 9th of December after we set up our teaching schedule. Clear your calendars ladies and gentleman!

Tuesday-Thursday, I was out of town with my 2nd father and mother, Pres and Sis Poncio, visiting my good pals on the pacific coast in Chinandega and Leon. Our mission is the biggest bro mission in this church if you were wondering! Thursday night (all before 10:30, don't worry) was the BBQ off in our humble brick oven out back. Lo, it ´twas not a success hahahaha. 

Friday, the ol' MTC comp, Elder McCord made his way down to Maximo Town to hit up some divisions! We had the wonderful opportunity together to teach Francsico Lesson 3, emphasizing in the Holy Atonement of our Savior. I had a flashback of teaching with him in the MTC in the middle of the lesson and it was so awesome. Elder Holland once said, "When the missionaries come to understand and use the Atonement, it will carry them for the rest of their missions. But, one of the most important things they can understand is that the Atonement will ALSO carry their investigators at the same time." This is exactly what has happened with Francisco and Mayra in the last 2 weeks. Use it in your own personal lives and watch the changes come to live, just like the stories of old!

Saturday, Hermana Mayra entered the baptismal font and it only took 3 tries, with a seat involved, to get her completely under water. She has been through hell and back in her life, but has helped my testimony grow so much on having a true desire to seek the Lord and follow him through whatever circumstance. I love my dear Nica friends so much.

I am grateful for each and everyone of you handsome and pretty people on there reading this email. Look for ways to use the Light the World activity, it will bless you immensely!

Love,
Thee Elder Campbell
