I made it here safely, and my first area of serving will be in Managua. Things are really different here. For one I am living in one of
the nicer homes in my area, but it still seems very, well I don´t
know...Well different. The country is so green, and hot, and humid, and
it all just seems kinda weird, but I know I´ll get used to it
eventually.
Here is the rundown of how things went after I called my family from the SLC airport. We got on the plane, and made it safely to Atlanta, and had a
layover there, then made it here. The very first thing that I noticed upon landing
was the humidity. It turns out that it wasn't so bad (inside of the airport), because once I got
outside the airport - the humidity REALLY hit me! Then we drove to a place and
stayed the night, and in the morning went to the Mission Home. It is a
really nice place, and it would be cool if everywhere was like it. Once
there we had our interviews with the Mission President, and got
assigned our companions and places. I´m with an Elder López, and he is
from Hondorus. So he knows hardly any English at all....This is very
difficult and frustrating. He is nice, but I hardly understand him, and
he hardly understands me. I am trying to enjoy myself, but it´s just
really hard right now. I know I´m supposed to be here, and just need to
push through. I love you all, and it is a really interesting place, and
is very different. I´m not saying I´m having a bad time, but it´s very
hard. I love you all and thanks for all of your prayers.
-Elder Vogt
