Well today we played soccer as a Zone it was awesome!! But it was the last Zone activity I will be at! CRAZY My Zone is FULL of white guys...they are crazy but they only talk to me in English now...they keep telling me I am awkward and need to practice. Nice guys huh..?

Well this week at church Axel went!! We met him the first change I was here about 5 weeks ago and he said he would go then we couldn’t find him but we ran into him in the street and he said well this Sunday I will be waiting on the corner for you... and he was we saw him and I just thought WHAT and he said I thought you guys weren’t going to come..

Yohana is still going strong and amazing!!

Alba is going to marry Abel. And Abel is going to get baptized!!!! HOLLLAAAA

Well I also started packing this week...I just don’t know how I feel about that.

I Love Nicaragua so much!! I have my final interview tomorrow it’s crazy

We also had Multi Zones this last Tuesday they talked a lot about Arizona I was going crazy they we got to watch Meet the Mormons it was awesome!!! Made me excited to go home.. After we watched it, President Russell stood up and he says well those North Americans that are about to go home I am sorry if that made you want to go home.. If you haven’t seen the movie watch it it’s awesome!!! Shows that Mormons are normal people too we have problems like anyone else we just have found the path that has the answers and the help we need!! I love you all so much sorry there aren’t pictures this week!! I love you all a ton!!

Gabriel, Franklin, Fancisco, Yohanna.

Well Yohana and the boys got baptized!! It was amazing Yohana was really nervous and scared but when she came out of the water she looked at me and said I know I made the right choice it was just so amazing!! 

We are looking for a lot of new people right now and we met 2 families and some youth...we will see what happens 

So last night the Aps called and said I needed to be in Managua today at 10 for choir practice for our multizonas so we showed up and.....I am singing in a duet with another elder.....soprano...And its tomorrow that I will be singing...they sure know how to spring things on people but that will be fine I just haven’t sung in a long while we will see how it goes!! 

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have every day to wake up and put my name tag on...It’s a gift and I love it...I know this is short but I am sending pictures that you can see in my blog!! I love you all!!

Well this week was awesome but crazy Sunday I completed 17 Months here. I cannot believe it. At. All.

Well Yohana and her boys are going to be getting baptized this Saturday!!! I am so excited we got to their house on Sunday to go to church and they were there all ready to go! Then we got to church and it was Fast Sunday so everyone was baring their testimonies and then Yohana looked at us and said can I go up there?? We said YES OF COURSE and she said but I’m wearing pants I just said who cares go get it girl!! So she did! She got up there and bore her testimony about meeting the missionaries and she thanked my companion and me in front of EVERYONE. I cried and then they decided to sing God be with you till we meet again for the last song....not cool.

The work here in Diriamba is flying!! The members and helping like crazy and they go visiting every Sunday! It’s awesome!!!
Well it’s crazy to think that in just one month I will be in my house...I just don’t quite know what to think about that! I can’t believe that the time is gone. I have grown so much and learned so much that I just want to keep doing it....Seeing people go from not wanting to listen to us to KNOWING and BELIEVING that this is all true is amazing you see everything about them change their eyes how they talk how they treat people families are happier and they just finally know why they are here in this earth.

I know why I am here. I know I was CALLED and set apart to Preach the only true Gospel in the world. This is Gods church and Jesus is the Head of it. They guide us in EVERYTHING that we do and need to be doing. The Book of Mormon brings light into places where there is darkness answers questions and gives revelations that are really and truly needed. God calls leaders to help and guide us. I love you all soooo much!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! I will always love this quote:    

If you don’t believe in Super Hero’s you´ve never met my dad!! 

Well today I started the last six weeks of my mission. I am full of so many emotions I am trying to get ahold of them all! I am happy sad and so many other things all at once.

Well this week Alba got interviewed to get her calling!! She told the President I will have to get back to you on that the Sisters said I need to pray in everything that I do so that God will give me an answer and Help me be prepared. THAT’S RIGHT! Anyway so she said when she gets her answer she will let him know. I love her and her girls Britani and Wendy!

Johana and her boys (Francisco Gabriel and Franklin) went to church again and they loved it! She had gone once before but didn’t like it because she said they just looked at her really rude ad she just didn’t like it so after convincing her to go and see again she went this last Sunday and she loved it because all the members started talking to her and just getting to know her and the boys love their classes it was just really good! They will be getting baptized in July!! Yay!!

Well Happy Birthday to Morgan and Mykelti this Sunday those little stinkers are getting ollllld!!

I love you all and hope to hear from you!!!

Hermano Osmand from Nandime came for a visit!
