A Lot of Traveling

As the title says, this week we traveled a whole lot!!

Monday we went to Managua like I said last week. That was just the beginning of the buses!

Tuesday we went to Ocotal for district meeting. Later that day, we were visiting Sonia, one of our recent converts. She is really awesome! And after we went to see Noami, a convert of Elder Torres. She got back from Managua this week, and something has obviously changed with her. Because when we went to just say hi, she opened the door and when she saw that it was us, she gave that door a good SLAM!!! It is a metal door and it rang for a good 10 seconds. Hopefully she will change for the better later on.

Wednesday, we didn't have to go anywhere, so that was good. We just worked hard that day.

Thursday, we worked till 2pm and then got ready to leave for Ocotal at 4. We left at 4 and got there around 7pm. Because the next day we had to leave for Esteli.

Friday we got on the 6am bus for Esteli, to go to the multi-zone meeting. We got there at 9am. The zones of Ocotal, Matagalpa and Esteli were all there. It was a good day, and the chapel there has air conditioning! So that is a bonus.

When we got back to Ocotal at 7pm, we got on a bus to Jalapa. But it was an express bus, so it only took an hour and a half to get there.

When we got to Japala, Elder Alvarez and I were really hungry, so we went to a fritanga. (Cheap Nicaraguan food place) And when we got there, a friend from the city who isn't a member, bought our food for us! That was pretty awesome!

On Sunday, we had 21 people at the church. That is a bit low after having 29 or more for 5 weeks in a row. But there is always next week.

Today we went to Ocotal at 6am to Play soccer on a turf field with the zone. I got a bit sunburned (See pics) but it was really fun

Hasta la proxima semana!

(Until next week!)
