Tuesday, July 19th - Monday, July 24th

After emailing everyone last week we left only to see in the center of town was a giant party going on so hardly anyone was out in their houses, only in the huge city party for the day of the revolution.

So starting off Tuesday, we had our normal meeting in the morning, and then in the afternoon we had divisions so I worked with my old companion Elder Baez, We were set to work here in my area but he wanted to eat lunch in his area first so we did that first. 

Wednesday we worked in our area as much as we could, since in the morning like 20 buses packed of people left the town to head to Managua since today is the day of the revolution, but it was good enough.

Same with the other days nothing super interesting.

Friday we were working in the night and were heading to the house of an investigator, when we heard something that sounded like preaching with a microphone going on inside, and we were like wait, what? Better to call him, we though it was the TV but were like hmmm let's call. No answer, so we walked to the door (which was open) Only to find a Catholic congregation was going on. And like prairie dogs we popped away! They were all turned the other way so didn't notice us, but it's not the best manners to disrupt a congregation asking for someone. SO we went to the house of some members, and the power went out.....so we had to walk home like 20 minutes in the dark, but when we got home 3 minutes later the lights came back.

Sunday we brought the son on an investigator to the church, and he went last week with his mom but she couldn't this week. Long story short after the wife of the branch president talked with the child who is 8...he has a talk next week....We are like children don't give talks, investigators don't give talks, much less investigating children. But oh well. We shall see how it goes, he seemed willing to do it.

Today we went to Matagalpa to pick up a package (of Honduranian soda and a shirt) for Garcia that his parents sent to him with some members in Matagalpa who were at the temple in Honduras last week. And we bought a rotisserie chicken and split it between us, so all good all good.
