So let's get down and real in the day to day happenings of a Vogt!
So more or less let's start with Tuesday...
We
went to Matagalpa (the city nearby that is kind of like the center of
our zone, so we have meetings there) So we did a meeting there, and
afterwards went back and worked like normal.
Wednesday we worked like normal, we didn't get permission to baptize this one person, so that fell through, but oh well.
Thursday
we went to Matagalpa again and did weekly planning there with some
other missionaries, and we got back and when we started to work it
started to rain. And oh boy did it rain hard. The streets were flooding,
and we were soaked head to toe. We could take off our shoes and water
would pour out of them hah. But we still kept on working. Though once we
got back in the night all soaked, our neighbors who are members as well
brought us over a cup of hot chocolate, so that was a really nice treat.
Friday,
while all of our stuff was drying from the day before we headed over to
Matagalpa again so my companion could do some shoe shopping. Then we
came back. And worked again...In the rain again. and got soaked again.
Haha.
So
Saturday we filled up the Baptismal Font, and had a ward baptism. It was a nice time. I baptized her, so I got wet yet again haha.
And
Yesterday we had church and planned an activity for Mother's day (since
mother's day is the 30th here) and then did some more working like
usual.
All in all things are going pretty normal over here. Hope you are all doing good!
love,
Elder Vogt

Additional info from family emails
* So we are teaching this one investigator Angela, and she is super
positive. She has come to the church both Sundays we have been here,
went to the baptism, and said she wanted to move her baptismal date up
to this Saturday. So let's see what that brings.
* First Transfer my whole Mission where I haven't gotten a new companion (granted, I've only been with Baez 2 weeks!) but we are still together for the next 6 weeks.
* Church went well, and we planned the mother's day activity for this Saturday (mother's day here is the 30th of May) so I'm looking forward to that.
* I've actually been pretty cold lately, especially since I've gotten wet every day for
the past 5 days. Even with protection I still manage to get wet. But oh
well. It's a pretty constant slight sprinkle, but with the occasional downpour
that manages to get you soaked through umbrellas, or waterproof jackets,
or waterproof anything. But yeah. I guess I'll just have to get used to
it. We did get plastic bags to cover the books, and we'll probably just end up getting used to being soaked.
* Those Possums I sent a picture of were freaky! It
looked so much weirder since in the dark you couldn't make out as much
and couldn't tell that it had 2 babies on it's back - it just looked
hideous. And it somewhat broke a power line so the power pole was
sparking massively that night.
