Tuesday, February 7th - Monday, February 13th

Alright so let's start this off all normal like.

So Tuesday. Uh was a normal day. I went with elder price. And we walked to an appointment in the Juitas. (pronounced Ha whit ahs)

so that was like 40 minutes there. He wasn't there, but we told him we would meet up at the chapel. So that was another 40 minutes. So man we were tired. We got a giant area. Elder price was like Dang.

Wednesday, we had the ZLs come over to our area to do interviews for baptism, and get to know our people with dates for baptism. So while he was doing the interview with one person Elder ward took like 80 minutes. But hey finally she went from like no, to maybe, to yes.

Thursday we went to the area of another person to know their people since my comp is a DL -same with Friday though later in the night we had a noche de hermanamiento (aka: sort of like their Mutual night with a short message).

Saturday, We got a baptism down. It was kinda difficult, since my comp had to go to the stake center, and we didn't have the clothes in the morning, but everything worked out, and yeah. She wanted only 2 people at her baptism. Her sister and aunt that they live with. So it was the smallest I have had so far.

Sunday. Well we had a reunion in the stake center again. It was good. Though I was a bit discouraged, since earlier this transfer we had a ton of people for baptism this 25th but none went to the church so yeah we had to push those back. We are doing an activity this 25th with our zone where we want to get 25 people for that date. 

So 2 more things.

Tomorrow we will have a meeting with both the North and South Nicaraguan Missions - with like 300 missionaries. And we will have an Apostle there. We don't know who yet, but we are making guesses (my guess is that it'll be one of the newest 3). So we will spend the night at the ZLs house, and meet up early in the stake center, then take a bus there (we are renting the bus). The meeting is in Mission South, but still in Managua, so it's easy for us. 

And one thing that happened that was cool this week.

We have dinner on Tuesdays with this one family - Hermano y hermana Nicaragua. So he is active, and they have a son on his mission right now (he left like 3 weeks after I got here) but she hasn't gone to the church in 11 years. We we were talking with here for a while, and asked her last week. She said not this Sunday, but the next she promises. So this week she went and it was super awesome!

 

Love, Elder Vogt
