GOODBYES SUCK AFTER ALL December 17, 2017

After six changes with my dear friend Elder Diaz, he is finally hitting the road to my beloved Ocotal. Also included on that out of Maximo Town list is my best bud, Elder Hughes, after one short change. Gentlemen, you shall be missed, but the memories will etched on fleshy tables of my heart for the rest of my life. The was no better way to finish our miracle filled change than with the baptism of our the Hermana Martha and our Paul-like conversion Super Man, Eduardo! December was always filled with gifts and surprises from Kris Kringle as a young lad, but the Holy One of Bethlehem filled in for his place, showing us how involved he truly is in our work. 

Our Mission, the Nicaragua Managua North mission held our annual Christmas party(ies) in the style of multi-zones and we were able to enjoy ourselves! Capitan America and Star Wars was missed, but soccer made up all the difference in the world. <3

Keep the magic alive this Christmas Season dear friends and family. Your fairytale ending to Francisco's conversion comes to an end this Saturday as he will enter into the waters of baptism. Keep him in your prayers! I love you all. May the force be with you!

Love,
Elder Campbell

FRESH LOBBY & A PUERTO RUN December 10, 2017

Men and women, the sad news of the week is that my dear friend Francisco was not able to take that important step of baptism, but hope is not lost. (Help me Obi-Wan). If you could squeeze him in your little prayers during this important week, I would love you forever! 

Not too much went down with us in Maximo Town this week while I was hardly in the area.. We had the great chance to fly to Puerto Cabezas and meet with thee best zone in Central America at the moment! They are currently baptizing 16 on average weekly and finished the month of Ocotber with a high of 68 baptisms! they are currently on the hunt for that new record and it is a sight and wonder.

Elder Hughes and I celebrated 500 days of being a missionary with a low-quality Lobster lunch with the rest of the troops. It was nothing less than spectacular. 

T-Minus 15 days my dear friends and family. Keep studying the life of the Savior and participating in Lighting the World. It will bring miracles to pass!

THE CASI CHRISTMAS SPECIAL December 3, 2017

Dearset friends and family members waiting for this email back at the homestead, I wish you happy 25 days of Christmas and hope you are Lighting the Dang World with all your heartfelt service. I thank you and know the Lord has a great smile on his face during this time of year to see how the human family tries to unite in a cause for good. The Nicas will be celebrating ''The Day of the Virgin`` on the 7th this week. It is basically trick or treating for them and nobody wants to talk about anything else other than Catholicism. Should be a dang good time!

As always, my dear companion and I, Elder Hughes have been working with all our heart, mind, might, and strength to be able to find the Lord`s elect and raise the Maximo Jerez out of the little pit she is in as we speak. We had great visits with the famous Francisco! We are also preparing our 3 different families for baptism, in preparation for their visits the house of the Lord in the following year of 2018. We could not be happier! (Vincent, Manuela, Eduardo, and Martha!)

Elder Hughes and I felt inspired to contact a house in our neighborhood this week that turned out to be thee best contact of our lives. We were starving, it was hot, and the ladies house had a sign that said, ''Ade`s Kitchen. Eat and repeat.'' We thought, well we love when those two words are together so lets contact it! I learned a grand lesson of the importance of just being yourself with someone. Getting to know them, being friendly, having a personality! Anyway, on with the story. Ade came to the door, we greeted and asked about food. She let us right in haha! Turns out she had been visited by the missionaries in Bluefields, speaks English, and loves to cook lobster and gallo pinto with coconut. As we talked for a minture, she invited us to come back that night to watch the Christmas video from the church and to have dinner with her. Miracles can be found in even the richest of houses! ;)

I am grateful for the great chance I have to serve and represent the Lord Jesus Christ. Thinking of him this Christmas season and his precious life is what keeps me moving forward to find more and more people. Do the same! Change somebody`s life!
