2 years down, 0 to go

Well Family and friends. This will be my last letter that  I will be sending. I made it home yesterday back to Sandy Utah! I have finished my 2 years as a missionary and now starts the new life.

In Nicaragua there was a lot of civil unrest so they have taken a lot of the missionaries that were serving in Nicaragua out of the country. But I only had 2 weeks left in the mission anyways, so they gave me an honorable release. From our mission they sent home 37 missionaries from the civil unrest. So now I am home!

The mission was AWESOME! And I learned alot of things and i could help alot of people!

Stay frosty, and I will see most of you soon!

For the last time...

El Plan De Salvacion

This last week was a fun week. We gave been planning for about a month now a missionary activity that is based around the Plan of Salvation. We went in a bus to get all the people to go. We went all out and decorated the church with the 3 Kingdoms of Glory and we did a scenario where everyone died on an airplane and they had to see the 3 places that they could go to if they live in different ways. It was a good activity. Everyone had a good time.

On Tuesday President Poncio came to Puerto Cabezas and we had my last zone conference of the Mission. And to celebrate our success from April he took us all to a fancy restaurant and we ate Shrimp and Lobster. it was really tasty! 

We spoke on the radio on Friday. It was Elder Zavala's First time on the radio. He enjoyed himself. He had never thought to speak on the radio before.

Yesterday we got to talk to our families. It was fun talking to them. Even thought I will see them in 3 weeks in person! Time is going fast and there isn't much time left! 

Today for p-day we went to the Pier that in in Puerto and we pretty much took pics. It was a wired activity but something new.

Till next week!

Una semana más una semana menos

This past week was pretty good. We didn't baptize this week, but we got a lot of our recent converts to church. We had like 10 recent converts at church this week. It was fun seeing all of them there.

Elder Zavala and I get along really well. It will be good to have him as my last companion. We should have a lot of success this week. 

Not really anything new from this week. We drank a lot of cashew juice this week. It's pretty tasty. I enjoy it at least. I still eat rice and beans everyday. Play soccer on Mondays. Nothing too new.

President Poncio is flying in to Puerto Cabezas tomorrow for my last zone conference, and next week we are going to Managua to celebrate the success that we had as a mission in April. It should be fun!

See you next month pues,

Elder Taylor
