First week in El Coyolar

This first week in my new area was really good! Elder Perry and I were MTC comps, so the transition was really easy, and I knew a lot of the area. So it was smooth sailing.

We have had a lot of success this week, we have a lot of really good investigators here. We have a big area, so it is easy to find new people. The lady that makes us lunch her is a little old lady named Elba. She is 72 years old, but the sweetest old thing you have ever met. And she cooks really good. She has 25 years cooking for missionaries. So she knows what they like and what they don't like.

On Thursday, Elder Sevilla had to do some baptismal interviews for us and some Hermanas. So I went with him to do that.  The Hermanas (Hernandez and Orillana)  area is right by ours, but it is HUGE. We did a few interviews, but we walked a ton. Then we came back to our area and did an interview for our girl who got baptized on Saturday.

On Saturday in the morning cuz we have McDonalds in our area, we went to get breakfast there. It was awesome. Then we went to go get everything ready for the baptisms. We were supposed to have the baptism at 3pm. But our girl took a while to get ready, so we went to the church to wait for her. I also had to baptize 2 people for one pair of Hermanas, and another guy for another pair of Hermanas. So I had to be there a bit earlier. But our girl, whose name is Russell, showed up a bit late, so we couldn't get pics. But all went well.

On Sunday we had 132 people at church! the most I have had ever in NIcaragua. It was cool. And it was the primary program. Here they include 14 year olds. One of the big kids told us that one of the scriptures he read was in the Book of Jesus instead of Jeramias. It was funny. It was good times.

At night we had to go to dinner but the streets were flooded from the rain all day. So we rolled up our pants and put on crocs to go to dinner. We got a few weird looks, but it was fun. (See pic)

Well that's all till next week!
