Tuesday, July 25th - Monday, July 31st

So we shall write about how this week turned out for me. So the week turned out nice we had a good time.

So after writing we headed over and had a good night time, chill but it was alright.

Tuesday. Freak I got sick. If you all remember I get sick like once an area. Here was my time. So by the time I got back from the meeting I was shaking with chills, and had a fever, and other problems. The nurse of the mission thought it was due to something I ate, so I rested that whole day, though we got a few visits from the members in the area, that touched me it felt nice that they cared, and some brought stuff to help out. 

Wednesday, I was feeling super weak all this day but we worked like normal. 

Thursday well working again like normal. We got a call in the morning that there would be a baptism in the afternoon in Matagalpa, so if we would be able to bring a couple of our investagators so they could see a baptism, so we managed to bring 3 there, we got there, and a minute before we arrived, we got a call that there wouldn't be a baptism. So we at least took the time to show them the chapel there, since it's a whole lot nicer than the little house thinggy we are meeting in now. It was alright It went well, but would have been better if we could have seen the baptism.

Friday, just working again today, not much. Though in the afternoon we went to the hosue of some members and nonmembers (the childern are members, but the parents aren't. though they feel the closest to a family that I have felt here in the mission) and the cousin from the father (who is from el salvador) (the cousein is salvadoranian too) So he brought pupusas straight from El salvador, so I got one, and then we went out to one of the only places to eat here, and we invited them out to Pizza (since they are always giving us dinner and stuff. So we were like hey we might as well do something nice and special for them for once)

Saturday, so we started the day offf by giving service. And by that, I mean I had a giant stick, and was knocking down coconuts. And by big stick, it's like a 15 foot long pole. But yeah nice workout. But Saturday went well

Sunday went well. Pretty low key not much happened.

And today we started off playing football/volleyball in the church, then lunched together, then played l

La Reina, which I won. Woop woop. But yeah it is all good. As for my health I am feeling better now, and am back to normal.

thanks for reading everyone. Love ya all.

Additional email from family emails:

 

* The game La Reina translates to meaning "The Queen" ...So it's a game where there are like categories (we had 11) and they are things like. The missionary who, flirts the most, Most chill, most obedient, awesomest, who'll get sent home first, who'll get married first, who'll never get married. Various categories.So everyone has a piece of paper and puts down their answers of who they think fits that category best, and why (just a game so lots of the answers are more funny) but yeah and who gets the most votes wins that category, and who wins the most categories wins the game. So I won the most categories. Well, me and Elder Baez each won 3 categories so then it went to a vote by raise of hand who the winner should be and more voted for me. The categories I won were: the Mas Tuanis, Mas Frito, and the Rey Y Reina

In english: Awesomest, most chill/party, and a joking couples one. 

 

* We had 2 sets of Elders stay with us last night since they live so far away and they wanted to be here to attend the Zone Activity scheduled for today. We had Elders Ponce, Alvarez, Alveranga and Vaides. I made everyone some Honey Siracha Chicken. I pretty much had the recipe memorized and they all thought the sauce tasted really good and complimented me on it. We also topped our pizza with some of it, too. We had a real nice, chill time.

* It's still raining pretty much everyday but it's usually more of just a drizzle vs. a downpour

* I haven't found the bugs to be a problem here - I never use bug spray and at night I sleep with a fan on me and so the wind blows any bugs away from me!
