Hello Everyone!
Yes, it has been another long-hard week. Our goal was to meet all the recent converts and visit with them to see how their doing, keep them encouraged and keep them coming to church. Sadly, almost all of them are inactive now and going to other churches already. The fellowshipping of the converts is really most important. That is the thing I don't get all the active members of the wards are all converts so they know how it feels to be a new member. We have a lot of work to do!
We taught 30 lessons this week but no investigators will take the challenge to be baptized :/ They are stubborn in their currents religion and beliefs.
This week is the 30th Anniversary of the Nicaraguan Revolution and the Sandinista National Liberation Front so it has been pretty crazy with riots, screaming-drunk people in the streets, so that has been fun. On Sunday, we were in a part of the city that is more dangerous, because the men carry machetes and are usually drunk. We had a drunk man stop us to talk, in the mean time another drunk man came up behind me and put his hand in my pants back pocket, hoping to rob me. All I had in the pocket was a handkerchief, so when he realizes I have no wallet he tries to run away but I tripped him and he stumbled. Next thing we see is the drunk we were talking too starts beating up the drunk who fell down, so we just kind of walked away...:P
It has rained almost everyday this week so it is muggy and muddy. But I am trying to do what Jeffery R. Holland said in his talk to us at the MTC...support the good times and the bad times and just laugh about it. :)
I thank all of you for love and support to me. Thank you Dad for you letter, it has helped me out a ton!
I love you all!
Elder Buck
