Kittens in Nicaragua

This week was full of kittens. On Wednesday we went to the far away part of our area called San Poncho. It is like 40 minutes walking to get there. We have a family of members there, so we go like once a week. On the way back we were kind of tired of walking, so we took a sit on the side of a bridge. While sitting there, we heard the mewing of tiny cats. We looked down in the dry river bed and there were 3 kittens there just chillin. We took them out of the river bed and we took them to the lady that has a lot of cats. Of the 3 that we saved 1 has been adopted. The other 2 are there to stay it seems like. They are named Maylor and Marge. They are pretty cool.

On Saturday night we were visiting when the same lady that has a lot of cats called us and told her that one of her cats was giving birth. So we headed over to see. the cat has 3 kittens. (she says that she will give them all away) There are 2 black and 1 orange one. 

On Sunday we wanted to have at least 20 people at church. So we left early to get the people ready to go. We walked to church with with a family of a mom and her 3 daughters. They are 11, 9, and 6. While we were waiting outside for them to get ready for church, the 6 year old named Juanita, she was sweeping the leaves from in front of the house. And when she had to go put on a dress she said " sorry I must go and get changed, excuse me" (But in Spanish) It was pretty funny. She speaks like she is way older than 6 years old.

At church the whole stake presidency was there, which never happens. But it was good cuz we met our goal of 20 people at church with 22 people. And we had 8 investigators at church as well. There was also a really old dude that was almost dead like 2 months ago that made it to church for the first time in 3 months now that he is healthy. It was a good week at church. I even led the music.

That is all for this week, peace!
