Hola Familia Buck!
It’s good to hear that everyone is happy and doing well. My stomach does feel better I’m not throwing up anymore. That’s good you guys were busy this week and that there is still work to do. How is the golf business doing, many golfers?? It’s good to hear you are still doing food storage Mom that’s such a blessing to be able to have that. Freezing fifty bags of corn, that is a lot of corn, yum yum… that sounded like a fun family activity. The ward luau sounded fun. Yeah go MOM!!!! Hula hula!
This week has been long and so much stuff happened I can’t remember all that I did. The beginning of the week we had the president assistants come and visit us so that was cool. Elder Yates is from Utah and the other Elder Schnettle is from Chile and was my companions, companion here in the mission and in the MTC (I wonder if I will be companions with Elder Titus again that would be so cool!) Elder Yates was so excited and he was so cool but they had to leave the next day
We really haven’t done much this week now that I think about it, this week we have 4 baptisms coming up. Juan who is 16 he is really cool and wants to serve a mission but at first didn’t want to get baptize until 6 months later, now wants to be baptized ASAP. We have to teach him and give him all the lessons so that’s awesome. Then there is Ariel, Delsia and Wilbur who is the brother of Delsia. First we have to get Ariel and Delsia married, which is kind of hard because she doesn’t even have a birth certificate so we gave her money so that she can get a copy of one. Ariel definitely is ready to be a member, wants to be baptized and change his life. So that’s awesome!! He used to be in the Army so he was in situations where he had to kill people but wants to put all of that behind him.
Then I got to know my Branch President a lot better Presidente Ramsin, he is awesome and I was on divisions with him a lot this week. He is so dedicated to his calling. He was called branch president right after the hurricane hit and it’s really difficult because the members at the time were inactive. But since then, the branch has grown so much they have had to split it into three branches. Bilwi (my area), Loma Verde (Elder Carrasco and Elder Agustin´s area), and Puerto Cabezas (Elder Solorzano and Elder Ical´s Area). Right now our branch attendance is low, and we don’t have any dedicated priesthood holders so things there are pretty tough. Elder Miranda and I are doing the best we can to get more priesthood and help the members now, so we have been on division’s a lot for that.
We don’t really have any new investigators right now, so we are working with the recent converts and less actives so that they will keep coming to church. It’s a lot different here; we have a really nice church and it was just built in January and it’s already trashed because no one takes care of it. The bathrooms are so gross, there are plumbing problem and sometimes the toilets over flow and who gets to clean the bathrooms? WE DO!!! Yeah!!!!! Ha-ha. We pretty much do everything here, which I don’t understand, and the members don’t do anything. The members and even the leaders rely on us a ton they will come to me and ask me what to do; I have never felt like a leader before, I LIKE IT!!!
Thank you for everything, all of you are in my prayers too, and thank you for that talk from the apostles, that was awesome. I love you all!
