Rizo's Family Baptism¡Nakisma! (That’s miskito (misquito) for how are you!)
I did change areas, we had changes last Wednesday and now I’m on the other side of Nicaragua right off the Caribbean Sea and a area called Puerto Cabezas! In a village called Bilwi! On the top east border of Nicaragua. How cool is that, I can see the Caribbean Sea two blocks away from our house!
Okay so we had changes and I found out were I was going, but me and two other Elders were going to the same area and needed to leave immediately! So right after changes they told us they were going to take us to the airport so the zone leaders took us to the air port and while we were waiting for our tickets they told us we can only bring 30lbs of stuff!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Ha-ha
So I had to take out all my stuff, clothes, underwear and everything at the airport to put in my smaller suitcase in front everyone! That is probably the worst thing. They told us we will be living on the bare necessities and that’s for freaking sure! So now I just have 30 lbs of clothes and I was kinda freaking out trying to figure what stuff I was going to need the most. Turns out their was a lot of stuff I forgot. I only brought 4 shirts and 3 pants IM SUCH AN IDIOT!!! Ha-ha I have my shoes and toiletries. But I forgot ties and socks!! aaaaaaaahBut everything is okay now.....
Well I’m here in Bilwi and it’s really humid here, more humid then Managua but I love it so much better! The people are really nice and they all look like African Americans. It’s so awesome!
I will explain a little what I saw as we were flying in. The first thing we noticed was THE CARIBEAN SEA!!! YEAH! and how wet and muddy it is. It rains practically every day here. When we got here we were met by 3 elders, Elder Carrazco from Honduras, Elder Solórzano from Ecuador, and my companion Elder Miranda de Chile. They were on BIKES!!!! YEAH THAT’S RIGHT WE HAVE BIKES!!! Yeah it’s so awesome here we share a house and all have bikes and these Elders are so cool. I have pics of all of them I will try to send so this letter will be kinda of short.
We have already baptized 5 people. The night I got here, we taught family Rizo and they accepted baptism this last Saturday! The Branch is awesome and the Branch president is our neighbor! I’m sorry this letter probably stinks and is hard to understand but so is this computer I’m using. I’m learning Miskito, its whole different language because almost everyone here speaks miskito!
HaySabe!! (Miskito for bye!)

Thank you so much mom and dad for you letters about prayer!I probably won’t receive your package for another month or two because it first goes to the office in Managua and then they send it out to us here at the border!
