FAMILIA
The mission is a time where everything is always the same and at the same time everything is completely different. This last week was a week of change so here comes the recap:
Tuesday night we find out that hna Rojas had cambios so we spent the night packing and got up bright and early around 4 to catch a bus to Managua. The reunion for cambios was a little different this time because I know more of the missionaries and have one cambio under my belt but my emotions were crazy firstly because I love hna Rojas and am really going to miss her, secondly because I was super excited to see who was going to be my new companion. My name companion is Hermana Monrroy. She is from Guatemala and she is definitely and answer to my prayers. RIght after cambios we went to get lunch at McDonalds which was a little slice of heaven and while we ate I told her what I wanted to accomplish this cambio and she was like great, we are going to work super hard and she wasnt lying. I havent had a moment to rest since then, but I have never felt more content in the mission. The first few days were crazy because I had to teach her the area and all of the our investigators but we are starting to get going now and miracles are happening all around us. This Sunday we worked from 8:30 in the morning to 9 at night without stopping and our attendence in church was the highest it has been since Ive been here! Also we had a family accept a baptismal date! It is amazing how the Lord is touching the hearts of the people here. I have a testimony that he provides for his missionaries. We do not have a cita for dinner but we have yet to go without it because without us asking people have provided it for us every day. I am so grateful for my new companion and her desire to work always. I dont know if she ever stops.
Now for other news. The familia L ezama has yet to enter the waters of baptism but we are working for this fin de semana so please keep them in your prayers.
As for more fun facts about Nicaragua, in Nicaragua the bathroom situation is a little ...different. We cant put toilet paper in the toilet because the plumbing is weak so every bathroom has a plastic sack where the tp goes. At first this was a little hard for me but with time you get accostomed to all things. I am going to return home from the mission immune to all strange smelling things.
Well familia, I know that the Lord works according to the faith of his children and the word faith can be substituted with action. The Lord has many blessings in store for those who show him they are willing to recieve them by working for them. I love 2 Nephi 27:23. God is a God if miracles and he is willing and desires to work them in your lives. Show him that you want to recieve them and then open your eyes. I promise you that you will see his hand. I love you all. Please keep my familias and my comp in your prayers.
