hey family!!!             June 27,2011

We decided to write a little early today, heres my letter about whats been going on over here!

Things have been pretty awesome. This was kinda a crazy week and super busy but actually a ton of fun. We had a fathers day activity last saturday and it was super fun. We got members and investigators from all over puerto to come down. We had food and had some activities. As missionaries, we stayed up the night before planned 3 funny skits to perform. They were pretty funny and i think we impressed the people with our acting skills =) It was also a cool time to sit back and watch how much the church has grown here in the past year. It really is a miracle.

Then later that night we had a baptism with a family that we have been teaching since i got here. They are super cool and we were excited to finally get them baptized. Their baptismal date was for two weeks ago but it fell through, and then last week the wife had to travel to bluefields. We kinda had a scare though because when we arrived at the house to go to the church, the husband was not home! He told his wife he had to work. We ran over to where he worked to see how late he will be, and the manager said that David had  not been come into work for the past couple days! We kinda got scared, wondering if he had been lying about where he has been... but after a prayer and some patience, it turned out he was finishing up a side job for his friend and was only a little bit more late. They were both super excited to be baptized.

So last night, I got to try one of the best puerto cabezas foods i have yet to try. It was a soup with cow meat that had been roasted with coconut juice. It was super good. I thanked the lady as we headed out. The lady asked me if it was the first time i had tried it, i said yes. "oh well then you will for sure be sick tomorrow". she told me. I was glad for her honestly. I feel pretty good right now though. Maybe she thought i was new to nicaragua.

All is weel here! I love you all and hope all is going well. Every single one of you are still in my prayers!
