This week was an interesting one.
I got a letter from Jordon and Ami this week!!!! Awwww and from my ever
hardworking Grandmother Myrna Udall too!
We have had a baptism planed for one of our investigators for every Sat
but something ALWAYS gets in the way. He has been my hardest investigator in my
mission we have been working with him in so many things and this last week he
told us I just need time so I think I will just wait you guys can teach someone
else with your time. But something told me. no . You will not take this answer.
So I said fine we will give you time buuuut the next day we went back
(jejejejejeje) and he asked us what? And I said ya we are here to talk to you
again and we started asking him questions that the spirit was telling us to ask
and at the end of this lesson he said to us. I am going to get married and baptized
this Saturday. I just said and now that you said that how do you feel and he
said I KNOW this is what I need to do I can feel it. WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOO oh yeah
that is just another testimony to me that I am not the teacher the spirit is.
I don’t know how to say this in English but here in Nicaragua the
catholic church celebrates what is called the Purisima it is basically like Halloween
in the United States but instead of saying trick or treat you sing and they
sing to a Virgin Mary that is inside the house and the people that live in the
house with the Virgin Mary they give the people singing things and this goes on
ALL day and people are drinking and they streets are full was crazy and at noon
they blow up fire crackers and a ton of other things right there in the street
I felt like I was in a battle it was crazy that happened yesterday so the ZL's
called and said we need to go home early so after the Christmas Devotional we
headed to the house but seriously crazy! And they said that Christmas is going
to be worse.
Hermano Trinidad on of our recent converts had a little puppy on his
ranch that was my best friend but he died I was super sad and so was he but
this week he found 7 puppies newly born just in the street so he brought them
back and when I went to visit him he said God blessed me this week with a
present for you and he showed me these puppies and I was just the happiest
camper ever.

For P-day today we woke up and had a TON of cool plans for the day but
when we went to leave EVERYTHING was closed apparently the day after the
Purisima nobody works it’s a miracle that this cyber place is open so we went
back to the house and cleaned cleaned cleaned I hand washed all my clothes and
bed stuff and so right now my house is awesomely clean the spirit is going to
have a party there ;)
I am excited about the work that is going on here in Masaya it has been
hard to adjust to this area but I know God wants me here and I am glad! I hope
to get pictures from you all and emails"" I loooove ya!!!!
