#53 Managua (Villa Venezuela)


Hey family,

Well, I liked your email. It sounds like all is going pretty well, except for the vomit-covered mom. That’s a pretty funny story, and it sounds like it was all laughs. Aside from that, it looks like you all had a pretty fun week with all of the dessert parties and bags of hair. Good stuff.

So here it’s been going well. Now that I’ve got a new comp, it’s been going a lot better. We are working hard, and we are contacting like crazy. But yeah, I’m making sure that we arrive home at night "ready to die" for how exhausted we are. I suppose that that is a good thing though. My new comp is pretty cool. He is about 5 feet tall, and just about arrives at my shoulder. It’s pretty funny. Back at home, I was probably just like normal sized, but here in Nicaragua, among all of the Latinos I’m actually pretty tall. And my comp is really short, so it’s a funny combination. 

I can’t really think of anything really exciting that we did this week. Basically we have just been working really, really, hard and we're being super obedient. We are doing everything that we should be doing. On Sunday, it was pretty cool. We brought 2 families of investigators to church, and one of these families was a new family that we haven’t taught yet. It was a family that I had contacted with Elder C a couple weeks before, and around 7:45 (15 minutes before church started), I saw them again in the street so I walked over to them and invited them to church. They said that they would arrive, and I was really happy when during sacrament meeting they arrived at church. Their names are J and M, and they seem like really cool investigators. So yeah, they totally LOVED church, and I imagine that we'll probably baptize them pretty soon. I really want to give my comp a ton of opportunities to baptize this change.

But anyways, life is good, and we are working hard. I have just a couple pictures of my comp and me. He is cool. He is from Guatemala. In fact, he’s actually from the mission where Elder Dalton (my friend Derek from BYU) is serving. But yeah, have a good week, and I love you all.
