hello family!
I especially liked seeing nates bball picture. hes looking good! hope all is well back at home. Its been yet another quick but hard week here!
The best part of the week has definitley been being able to work with the members. We spent this week doing divisions with some of the leaders of the ward to visit all the young men young women in the ward to get them to go to seminary or institute. Its been pretty great. We had a lot of the teenagers say they would come. Its also opened up a ton of opportunities for us missionaries. A lot of the people we visited had family members that were not members and agreed to visit with missionaries. over this past week we have recived a ton of references. Just exactly what i have been praying for!!!
Iv also had some interesting expereiences with working with members. One of the days i was with the teachers quorom president. He did not have enough money to pay for the bus, so he asked if we could ride bikes. I told him i did not have one, but he said he would find me one. He ended up finding me this bike of a friends. The bike was one of the saddess things i had ever seen haha. The gears were chipped, the brakes did not work, handlebars broken, and and the seat bent backwards. It was super awkward to ride on. Nevertheless we worked and had tons of success. I had only crashed into a wall a couple times (because of the lack of breaks) and had a sore butt. It was completley worth it though!
The best news for this week is we found out the owners of our new house pay for cleaning ladys! We were suprised to be studying one morning and have someone come up and ask if she could clean our bathroom! Its been an incredible blessing, especially since my comp is not the cleanest person in the world. but i guess im not exactly the cleanest either huh...
then a few days ago there was kinda a scare about the tsunamis. It was kinda confusing at first cause we are not allowed to watch tv, and we only get to hear things through other missionaries or members. I was with the zone leaders when they told them to pull out the missionaries on the coast. I am in the city of chenandega, which is about 20 minutes from the coast. The whole scare ended up not being too much. i think the waves hit the nicaragua shore later that day and were no bigger than a few feet. oh well its good to know that the missionaries are kept safe. We keep the missionaries over in the other countries in our prayers though.
anyways i think thats about it for this week. its been a good week. hope all is well over there. Love you all
