Tuesday, July 11th - Monday, July 18th

So this is how this week went.

So Tuesday we worked like normal. Went to an area a bit further in my area that I didn't know yet, and met a couple less active people who I didn't know before. So that was nice.

Wednesday we had a meeting there in Matagalpa, so we went there in the morning, came back to work, and in the night went back to Matagalpa to stay the night, since in the morning we would have to go to a different city (Esteli). If we didn't head over there to Matagalpa the night before, we would have had to search for a taxi at like 5 in the morning. And I didn't want to do that - it is very difficult. So yeah we stayed the night with the zone leaders.

Thursday we headed to Esteli for a Multi Zone meeting, it was good since I got to see some friends and old companions, but it ended super fast and super early, so we headed back and worked more. 

Friday we went to another area far out that we didn't know, called La Reyna. So it went nice, not too much out there but it wasn't bad. And I also hit 10 months in the mission that day - July 14th!

Saturday we met a referral who was super positive, then helped out with an activity at the church where they were baking. so it was good and I got to help sample some of the baked goods. Missionary perks! 

Sunday was church and all, it went well. Didn't do all too much but it was a nice day. Also went to pick up our investigator for church and when we got there, they had already left to church. That usually doesn't happen so that was cool.

Random story time.

So since no Vogt's were hurt in the process of this story I don't mind sharing it:

 

So this past Friday I was walking down the road with my companion, when from the other side of the road a drunk guy starts running at us with a machete! He was cussing us out so hard in Spanish. He made it up to us and started to swing his machete - he didn't hit us but he got so freaking close! But hey, I'm all good so no harm done. Just the life here. It wasn't really scary to say - but got a decent amount of adrenaline going! 

Anyways that was the week. Thanks for everything everyone. Cya all next week!
