January 9th - 16th

Monday: So we had P day, so we went and played capture the flag at the stake center, had lunch together, and, then went shopping since the power was out everywhere. We changed our lunch appointment because stuff happened, but whatever. By the time you all read this I might be in a different area. you will know by the end of this message!

Tuesday: So I'll start by saying tat I like tis macine. But te ting is te letter after g broke (the H key!), and many keys are sticking. So I don't know ow muc longer I'll be able to use tis. But o well. For now we will see ow I can make tis work. I guess If I really want to use the h key I need to press it with my pen. It works more or less, but is super slower. Maybe I'll be able to find a keyboard with a good key and be able to use it. But after a few days of writing with out the h key, it takes a whole lot longer to type these. Also  the arrow keys are busting. The machine is good and I like it, but I don't think it was meant for the wear that I have to put it though a lot. A whole lot of Dirt, and I think the vast amount of dirt and dust that lands on it is the major cause of the problem., and it has to be in my backpack a lot on Mondays. Like it gets covered in dirt everyday!

Wednesday: So today we had our roof replaced. So that was interesting. Then later for lunch we ate at the house of Hermano Nicaragua and his wife. Then later we went on splits with different members. I went and taught a lot with joseph. Later in the night while we were at the house of Moises and reina a bunch of members showed up to help invite them to activities.

Thursday: So today I went with elder Najera in my area for most of the day. We had a good time, and in one of the lessons I taught more than I usually do. So that was pretty cool.

Friday: So the day started out by us having the zone leaders come over to shower. Later we went to villa flor, and afterwards went to work. So we had an activity at the church. Flip I keep needing to use different words because I am missing a key. But ya. We got a baptism tommorow. So that is exciting. Anyways till manana.

Saturday: Well we had a baptism for a nino (who is in the ward and just turned 8) but it was still pretty awesome, and we had different investigatores there to watch. So yea. Cool. ALso I found out that I will be in Reparto Shick for anoter cambio (transfer). So I will enjoy that. I also know who my new comp is. So yea cool. Anyways just gotta enjoy the time I have left with my comp Elder Alfaro.

Random words by Elder Vogt This week to others.

* Don't worry. I'm not gonna kill you.

* Oh you said use a knife, not a snake!

* Well we didn't have a rubber duckie, so I used the next best thing. (I used ballons to make the zone leader's showers more enjoyable)

 

My New Companion:

Elder Lemus from Guatemala. He has been on his Mission for 20 months and he is the new District Leader. He doesn't speak English but my Spanish is good enough now for us to conversate so I'm not too worried about it.

 

And as for today (Monday, Jan 16th), story time. So a similar thing happened that happened this transfer as my last one. They at first said - hey your new comp is at Israel, then later Laaonda or something like that. Then after they said he was at Oriental. And he wasn't at any of those three! So we took like 5 hours trying to find my companion before he found missionaries and went to their church with them and that's where we met up. But hey, we found him and I've got my new companion right now. 

ps: I'm glad that I'm staying in Managua... I wanted one more transfer here! And also, Elder Price (who was my roommate in the MTC) is now in my District, so I should see him quite a lot.
