| A day in Piedras Bonitas |
Hey Familia!
We had a great week! It’s crazy how fast it goes. We went on interchanges [splits]
with missionaries from Siguatapeque on Tuesday so we could help them out
with getting papers ready for a wedding they were going to have. The district leader I went with was way cool
and a great missionary. He was a UFC
fighter before the mission! We got all
the papers done for the amazing family they are going to baptize. Then we went
to meet the rest of the fechas [baptisms] they
had scheduled. I love getting to help
him with some things going on in his district and how he could challenge the
missionaries more. It was great, but I
left my flip flops down there, and it’s a good hour and a half on the bus to get
there so I don’t think I’ll be seeing them for a while.
We went to a families’ wedding
because we had to give their interviews!
It was a mass wedding of 20 couples, some didn’t even want to kiss! They just gave like a side hug for the
pictures. We also baptized a ten year old kid!
He and his family are all members. Right now we have 3 fechas. One is a
18 year old guy with amazing potential.
He lives in a small one room house with 3 other guys, all 16 to 18 years
old. They’ve all had tough lives and are
all living on their own until they found each other, so they found each other
and work together to support themselves.
He wants to follow Christ so much, and even goes a half an hour on the
bus every Sunday just to go to church.
He wants to serve a mission. The
two women that showed up to church on their own last week want to change their
lives to be closer to God. In both their
houses their families are strong Catholics, so we have to teach them at the
church. Today, there was a whole family
that showed up to church on their own!
Man we are so pumped. We are
going to teach them this week so we’ll see what happens!
Love you!
