Finishers of what we started has become the immediate theme of our generation in the Nicaragua Managua North mission thanks to my dear friend down south, Elder Hughes! What a week of miracles we were able to be witnesses of to strengthen our faith in the Savior. Finding elect, ripping apart other church doctrines, helping Nicas come unto Jesus through his sacred ordinances and everything in between. My sweet mother turned the big 48 yesterday ladies and gentleman. Be sure to take her sugar cookies because they are her favorite!
On Tuesday, the lessons went by way to fast. Before we knew it, we were in our ward council, getting macheted with the scriptures in Hagai 1:1-14, and then we were off to Reynaldo´s house. AT once, he said he was getting baptized on Saturday. He said last week he was not able to because he had to clear up his slate with the Savior. He said last weekend was a sacred weekend for him, which included many manifestations of forgiveness and direction to join the church. He teared up as he told us these things. The Spirit was so strong!
Wednesday, we went fishing (for families) with my good friend, the baker, Gerald! He talks to everyone and everything and is so good at convincing people to hear more and get them thinking. We saw tons of miracles with him and learned great lessons on how to be more effective and literal talk to everyone we can!
Friday was our consejo day! It was good to yet again see all the pals of the mission, including tons of ex companions. My 2nd trainer, Elder Mendez, shared his final testimony at this meeting to. You know he got me the special shoutout haha! I've seriously had thee best companions.
Saturday was Reynaldo´s big day! He showed up with his mother and his little nephew, and the service was spiritual. I shared my mother's favorite scripture in honor of her big day! (Job 19:25)
After the water services, Reynaldo shared his testimony of how is soul was nurtured by missionary after missionary (9 years of lessons!). He is a true convert of the Lord! Shoutout to all those missionaries who helped in the whole process. (MOWER!)
I love being a missionary. There is nothing better than preaching and feeling those words being guided for the Holy Spirit and watching people literally change in front of you. It's a true work my friends!
Until the next one boys and gals.
