More Random Happenings from Nicaragua

I guess some highlights of this week were. I saw a pig. But not just any ordinary pig. This pig was massive!!! It was probably a good 7 or 8 feet long, and easily weighed at least 700 pounds. I took a picture of it, but in the picture it looks tiny.....So yeah. Anyways with that one of the members took a photo of my photos and made them into a meme. So I took a photo of his photo with words of my photo.

Then Later in the week since Elder López's sister is going to the Nicaragua South Mission, and she arrived in country this week, and since Elder Lopez goes home in 2 weeks, we got permission from the mission president to go see her at their Stake Center. So that was fun we got to see here, and I also met an Elder Black who is from my stake back home in Montana. So I have met all the Nicaraguan Elders from my stake (Elder Lund is in the North Mission with me and is also currently serving in Managua so I see him weekly). So that was really sweet. 

Then these past 2 days have been Stake Conference here. So most of our time this week other than lessons has been giving members and investigators invitations to stake conference, and reminding them, and bringing them. It's a big undertaking. But I enjoyed it and had a good time. Yesterday our Mission President and his wife spoke in the Conference, so it was cool to see them and talk to them again. 

Anyways, a couple more random things, A drunk guy one night came up to me and started talking, speaking really good English for a drunk Nicaraguan. But said many things, like he wants our gospel, he loves me, he wants my life, and he wants my pants. He wanted me to take off my pants and give them to him. So naturally I said I needed my pants, and he left.

And this morning while waiting for the other missionaries to arrive to the church for Soccer, we were waiting (I was getting a hair cut, but the place was closed until 9 in the morning, so we were a bit early to the church, at like 7:45) But he gave me like a 1 hour long speech no joke. Again in English. About many many many many things. But in it he said that the doctors said the drugs like cocaine and meth messed with his organs, but through the glory of Jesus he was healed. Something was a bit off about him, but he was nice and friendly enough. 

Anyways those are just a couple things that happen in my life here.
