We are not in Kansas Anymore!

This was one crazy week! On last Monday morning we left to the the airport at 3:30 am. I saw the fam at the airport and then headed off. We got to Georgia about 12:30pm. And had a 6 hour layover. We finally left and got to Nicaragua about 9:30pm. We saw President Poncio waiting for us when we finally got through customs.
We were waiting to get on a mission bus and while doing so, there was this little dude going around giving out these weird things of string. It was really weird.

The first thing that we did was go to Pizza Hut. We ate dinner there at 11:45 pm. And then we went to our house for the night (Pictures included). All the houses here are really hot. And they don't have air conditioning. So we use fans. They help a lot. 

The next day we went to the church. We had an introduction to the mission type thing and then we met our companions. As I said before my companion is Elder Sanchez from El Salvador. It is hard sometimes to communicate, but we get by.

We took a super crowded bus to our area Ciudadela. It is a small little town that is very poor. But not so poor that they don't have televisions and cell phones. Most of the houses are shacks with dirt floors. But everyone is really nice and are happy for what they have. Our house has tile floors. I have pics on either this email or another with pics. We take bucket showers. That is pretty weird. But I'm getting used to it.

All the streets are dirt. They all have tons of water and garbage in them. It doesn't smell that bad all the time though. It is always hot. I drink probably a gallon a day of water, or we go to the store/house near us and buy a coke. The other day there was this really dirty hobo walking through the town. We saw him everywhere. I just thought that was a thing to share.

Yesterday at church there were about 20-30 people. That was good. There was a dog that came to church as well. We have 4 investigators with baptism dates. Geovani, Jessica, Roberto, and Guadelupe. We got 3 of them this week. Well, that is all I have for this week!

Stay duanes(cool)

I forgot to write about how there are dogs, chickens, and cats running everywhere in the streets. Lots of people have pigs too!
