Hey!
The address of the church is... de la retonda
universitaria 1 cuadra al lago, 1 arriba. It´s not very far away from
Holiday Inn. Ask directions in the hotel. Just ask for the Iglesia
Mormona en el reparto San Juan. You can see the church from the road,
but you have to take a kind of messed up road to get to the church. The
churches have gates around them and you´ll have to enter the car in a
gated area. We´ll be there at about 8:00 on Wednesday morning. If you
get lost, call me. 83302987 There will be a ton of missionaries there.
Just remember to wear Sunday clothes. Remember, don´t just take a
drive around Managua. Go see a beach or Leon or Granada or something.
Cool news.... I think you´re probably going to meet Hna and Pres Monestel tonight because the new missionaries arrive at the airport
about 8:40. I was in the mission office this morning for my last
interview and we were chatting with Hna Monestel. So she said, "we´ll
probably see your parents tonight." Also, Elder Santana and I are the
only ones going home and Elder Santana is leaving with his parents right
after the meeting because he lives here in Nicaragua. So the Monestel
family always eats lunch with the missionaries that are ending their
missions, and I´m the only one. So we´ll have a one on one experience.
President Monestel said, "well, that´s nice that your parents speak
Spanish."
Well, Jose and Lizeth are progressing. We´ll probably go visit
them. We´ll probably visit two investigators here in Miraflores. I
feel less sad after my interview this morning. I feel kind of bad for Hna de Leon because my emotions have been kind of crazy but ya casi.
Also, a man that we contacted two weeks ago came to church this Sunday. We were waiting for a convert and he was sitting outside on the
concrete so we started talking to him. and he came to church today with
the pamphlet in his hand! Wow! He doesn´t actually live in our area
but that´s cool that he showed up. It kind of woke me up because I was
thinking, well, you never know who is going to respond to the
invitation, so you have to invite everyone.
Rebecca Arroliga, the RS president shared her testimony this
Sunday and it was awesome. She feels really insecure in her calling but
she has been visiting Jose and Lizeth with us. And this Sunday she
shared that she feels good every time that she visits them. She said
that she feels like her burdens are lighter and she feels happier. I
loved that because that could be a real change in her life so that she
has the desire to visit members and less actives and investigators.
Tonight we are going to have a noche de hogar with Jose and Lizeth with
Rebecca and her husband!
Also, Henry is praying and reading his BoM. He hasn´t gone to church in two weeks and he doesn´t have a baptismal date.
Since there are a ton of new hermanas, we are going to work with them tomorrow afternoon. That´s good.
