I got transfered to...

Honestly, this past week was one of the best weeks that I have had in the mission.

On Tuesday morning we went with one of the members of the ward that has a corn field to pick corn. He is 80 years old, and his farm is about 1.5km from his house. He has to take a break every few minutes, but he goes there 3 times a day. ​​ It was really a good time. He is my hero. And on Wednesday he invited us over to his house to have homemade tamales. They are so freakin' tasty.

Thursday was the Celebration of "Dia De los muertos" or Day of the Dead. We went with a member to the cemetery to help decorate the grave of her grandma. It was really kind of weird, cuz people were trying to make money by being clowns and selling food in the middle of the cemetery and listening to rap really loud. But hey, that is pretty much a really good explanation of Nicaragua for y'alls.

On Friday we were tryin' to get permission for a kid that wanted to be baptized that is 14 years old. His parents aren't members but they are cool people. We went to their farm to help spread fertilizer. They don't have anything to spread it, so we put it down by hand, just throwing a bunch of fertilizer by hand on like an acre plot. It was good times. And we got orange Fanta and bread and permission for the baptism as a reward.

That night we had to clean the pool that we baptize in. It was really dirty. We spent like an hour cleaning it in the dark. But we got it done and filled in time for the baptism on Saturday.

We got to Baptize Silvio on Saturday. The baptism was good. It was pretty much just his mom and dad and a few members that came, But it was good. I got to baptize him. It was awesome. He got confirmed in church on Sunday. We had 20 people at church yesterday.

And today I got transferred. I got transferred with in the same zone, But to the middle of the zone. An hour away from Malpaisillo. In Leon. A place called El Coyolar. I am with Elder Perry. My comp from the MTC. He is a good guy. It should be a good transfer. This is my first area that I don't have to take buses every week. And my first area with a chapel. It will be good times!

Till next week,
