Thats my bishop in the middle (he's awesome) ward mission leader and the guy on the right our baptism this week (Luis)
Thats my companion Elder Harris with maria and juanita
That's me with Hermana Juanita and Maria thats where we eat is at a PANDERIA (BAKERY) its awesome and their awesome!
Thats me with some elders in my district (they still can't believe I'm the tallest missionary here ha-ha)
Thats me with a mask ha-ha
Me with my companion and zone leader Elder Burton
Catholic church (there are a lot of them)
As far as my health I am a lot better! The rash has pretty much gone away but I’m still applying the cream and the powder to make it feel better.
As far as the two abscesses I had they have healed and are going away and the other one that was forming on my other leg just turned out to be a reaction and not an abscess. JUST TO BE CLEAR I’M FINE!! HERMANA FRAATZ CALLED ME SAYING I HAD SURGERY. But I didn’t have surgery and now everything is okay! They gave me a cream to put on the abcesses and way expensive pills to take out the infection and ibuprofen. I can now walk, run and do all that good stuff!
Gross! That’s what it was? A bot fly, that is so GROSS!! (Only in Nicaragua!!) They didn’t tell me anything at the hospital what it was. Ha-ha I’m so sorry, don’t worry about it now, and no more dreams about parasites Mom & Dad, dream happy dreams!
Okay I am now in Jinotepe! And yeah they have pretty much everything that I need so I will be doing some stocking up. They have a huge super market where I can buy all that medical stuff. No health issues or anything now so I’m back to work and working hard!
I still haven’t got back my large suitcase because what happened is the new Elders that came to Puerto brought my big suitcase to me but when I flew back down to Managua, to go to the hospital, I had to leave it in Puerto so now it is on the other side of the country and I will have to wait quite some time till I get that big bag again.
Hey, I don’t know if I told you this but I got some things stolen out of my big bag IMAGINE THAT! I had to originally leave it in Managua when I first flew to Puerto and it was left at the assistant’s house. Well that’s where the new missionaries sleep, and some of these missionaries are thieves so they stole 3 of my deodorants, 3 of my soap 3, undergarment bottoms??? (they are going to hell for that), 1 pair of my pants, my white gym shoes for P-day (what is a small person going to do with size 13 shoes, slap around in them like Bozo the clown?) and a book of memories, my letters and two shirts. OH man! I guess I can’t trust anyone!
I have been able to do my teaching because I’m here in JINOTEPE!!!! Yeah!! I will write more about that later... While I was recovering the past week in the mission office I would go on LDS.ORG (that website is so cool) listen to general conference talks, read and study the scriptures and sleep (cause the drugs make me super drowsy ha-ha)
Its good to hear everything is the same at home and that Carly’s doing good in school!
Well I don’t have much time for this second part but I will try and hurry...
Okay I’m here in JINOTEPE. I got here last Wednesday. The weather here is so nice and cool. My companion is Elder Harris from Ogden, Utah and he is awesome! He to will be going home in December the same time as Elder Miranda goes home. He is way obedient and a hard worker so we are doing amazing. We rent the house from non-members who are way nice and rich. We have a nice little room that we rent and it’s always cool as far as temperature.
We eat at a member’s house, they own a bakery so we can have whatever kind of sweets, cakes, breads we want, OH I LOVE IT!!! AND I LOVE THE PEOPLE HERE!!!! Absolutely love them they are so nice here and I just love how the buildings look it’s so cool! I will take and send more pictures next week, I’m scared to send stuff on this computer I think it has a virus.
But we have had one baptism named Luis its kind of sad (he is a little slow) He is normal, just lacks education. But he had a problem with drinking coffee but supposedly for a whole week he stopped drinking but the morning of the day on his baptism, supposedly he “accidently” drank coffee. So we talked to the zone leaders got him interviewed and baptized him. This guy I don’t even know, I have only been to his house twice so I let my companion and the zone leaders make the call. But the next day he didn’t go to church till the end of sacrament meeting so he wasn’t confirmed, so were going to see what’s up with this guy and see if he is worthy still.
BUT I’M HAPPY, I’M HEALTHY, AND I’M HAVING FUN SERVING THE LORD ONCE AGAIN!! Thank you for all your prayers and love and am back to work and doing the best I can and giving it my all!! I love you all Mom, Dad, Tanner family, Carver family, Carly and all of my friends and family!!!
