Beloved ones
back home! Another Monday has arrived.. I swear to you that time has
been put on Mach 5 the last 8 or so months. We just work, work, work and
the Lord blesses us with the rest! I hope you are all enjoying March
Madness (Thanks for not updating me..) and preparing for the festivities
in the coming weeks. Easter is an entire week here, ´La Semana Santa´
and is quite the deal. ALL the apostatized churches do their baptisms
this week.. There is no better time to remember the Savior and all the
wonderful things he did for us! Let's get into how it went in Ocotal,
Nicaragua the past 7 days:
Monday was quite the
moving day for me. After P-Day activities, we went to teach our long time
investigator, Ruth. We've been inviting her and inviting her to commit
to baptism, but she just wanted to wait. Before we left the house, we
kneeled down and begged the Lord to loosen our tongues and help Ruth
understand how important this step was in her life and that she could
recognize the Spirit telling her that she was ready. To our behold, the
Lord blessed us with exactly what we asked! We taught her about tithing
(Thee best topic huh?) and the blessings that we've received as members
of the church. She then asked us if she could do her baptism this
Saturday. OUT OF NO WHERE! She told us that the Spirit has been telling
her for sometime that she needed to do this and that she knew this was
the True Church of Christ. A Miracle indeed.
On
Tuesday, we had a Zone Conference to plan for the Tarde Blanca (Lots of
baptisms) in the coming weeks and to give inspiring messages to our
Zone. I had everyone do trust falls as companions. It was thee funniest
thing seeing how little they trusted each other ha!
Saturday
and Sunday were the baptisms! We found thee sweetest waterfall and
laguna to do the baptisms up in the mountains. Better than your average
baptismal font if you ask me..
The Lord has
blessed me immensely these last few weeks! He has been preparing this
heart of mine so I can be the best missionary possible.
Apply
D&C 107:99-100 this week! There is no room or time for laziness. We
must always be striving to be better if we want to meet the Lord's high
expectations. Come hungry on Saturday and Sunday.. There will be a
feast from on high! Have the best week peeps! I love you all tons.
