MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I got to talk and video chat with my family today! 

We did some gift exchanges with the Missionaries. I ended up with a miniature pool table thing and a picture. My comp and I gave some chicks to the Elders we had. It was pretty fun!

Tuesday, December 12th - Monday, December 18th

I got Transferred to Chinandega!
 
So I guess I shall start off with the nice weekly email.

So Monday we only got a half Pday so we went and worked in the afternoon.
Tuesday we worked nice and well too.
Wednesday was the whole Christmas party for the multi zone. It was nice and dope. So we got there, chilled a bit, then had the sports competition (our zone won the Soccer Competition) and then a talent show, and then a message and we went back to our area. I had a good time with everyone. It was nice.
 
Thursday Well the same as always haha.
Friday we had divisions. I went and worked in my area with elder Bassett. We had a good time. 
 
Saturday we had a double baptism. Armindo and Bernarda. It was nice and I felt really good and positive about it.
Sunday was church and I heard I was getting transferred to Chinandega (the hottest part of the country! But I'll be with a really cool companion - Elder Santizo. I went around and said Goodbye's to the family's here and then some members also gave me a going away cake! Cake...yummy!

So yeah now I am in Chinandega. With Elder Santizo. ( he was the first companion of my MTC comp Simpson) So we shall see how things go.

Tuesday, December 5th - Monday, December 11th

Sorry for not sending out a big weekly email last week. I shall do one this week though

So starting Tuesday we had the zone meeting, and then I went on divisones and worked with Fankhauser in his area. So it was pretty dope. We worked hard but had a lot of fun. He be one chill cucumber. 

Wednesday morning I ended up taking a fotoshoot with Fankhauser Since he had to send in pictures to renew his residence card. So got the pics and sent them out. Then later on got back to my area and started working again. 

Thursday we had the plans to work with the Branch President. But he ended up having to go to the mountains to repair a broken down truck. But oh well. He told us he has a friend who wants to be baptized, so we had plans to go with him there, but we went Friday.

Friday like I said we did that. Went with the friend and he was really cool. He is gonna be preparing to be baptized this Saturday. Then we held a little activity in the house of a convert Hno Trinidad. It was nice like 10 people showed up.

Saturday we just worked like normal. Went with the branch

Sunday still pretty normal. Had a couple people show up to church (church starts at 9am) and had a good attendance at 26 so that was nice. Then got back and started working again. Not much new just the normal jazz

So this up coming week we have the Christmas party on Wednesday. They cut it down to just a multi zone party (last year it was the whole Mission together) so it will be a lot smaller, but it should still be fun! And the changes (Transfers) are in 1 week. So let's see how everything goes. I might have some news for all of you next week. I think I'm leaving. Though it could be either way.
 
Love, Elder Vogt
 
PS: So I looked in the camera and realized I didn't take any pictures. So I took some of the church here in La Trinidad - it's a really pretty place. One of the nicest chapels I've seen here (even though it's just a house we are renting out. they remodel and all but just renting). And then I was like - Hey, my dad would probably like to see what the bathroom here looks like too! so enjoy!
