This past week was pretty good!

On Tuesday we were visiting a family that are members, but they have people in their house that are not members and We had taught them before. So when we were there, we invited one of them (Imara) if she wanted to get baptized and she said yes! She said that she wanted to get baptized the next day in the ocean. So that is what we did. It was really awesome. And the other missionaries heard that we were going and they also had people baptized the same day!

This week I also got to eat Iguana meat! It was really tasty! Or at least I enjoyed it.

I had interviews with President Poncio this week as well. He flew over to Puerto. He came to our church meeting on Sunday! And I also gave a talk yesterday as well in church. 

We had 50 people there!

Well all is going well here in Puerto Cabezas! We as a zone have 9 companionships and we all had the goal to baptize 14 people as a zone this week. We could all help out and every companionship was able to baptize at least 1 person, and we could baptize 18 people as a zone this week. And Elder Reyes and I could baptize 2 people as well. We baptized Exel and Norbi! They are brothers and they don't speak much Spanish. Only Miskito, so we had to use a translator for a lot of the time. But they are awesome!

I have been meaning to talk about the daily schedule here in Puerto the past few weeks, but until now. Here in Puerto we wake up and go to bed 1 hour earlier then the rest of the mission. We wake up at 5:30am and go to Sleep at 9:30pm and we are in the house at 8pm. Its not too bad of a schedule.

Today for p-day, we went to the beach. Actually we went to a place that was on the beach, but we ended up on the beach! It was rainy but here in Puerto Cabezas it is always at least 80-85° so it felt good. Pics below!

Well, those are the highlights from this week!

My Flight this Past Week

These are from my plane ride from Puerto Cabezas and Managua. It took just 1 hour but it was a good ride!​

Mi 20 Cumpleaños

For the big 20th cumpléaños my district showed up to my house with a cake to celebrate!​

Class is in Session!

Well if you are just itchin; to finish this school year, be happy that you are not in Nicaragua. Because today starts school for the Nicaraguans! They have been in vacations since late November and today they all put on their uniforms to go to school. So be glad that you only have 4 months left in school.

This week was pretty good. We worked hard looking for new investigators. And we found quite a few. We almost baptized as well, but they wanted to move their baptism to this coming week. So we will see what happens. But we are animated to go forward.

I don't have too much to say today, but I have a pic of what the houses look like here, so there you go. Hopefully more next week!
