Hey Family!


I still have a little bit of a cough that comes and goes every now and then, but for the most part I am healed from the sickness crap!!

Leon is AWESOME!!! I love this place it reminds me a lot of Jinotepe! The People are SO NICE!!! Im so happy because I hate dealing with angry people. It’s a pretty big place my area LAS VILLAS is very huge the other day we walked out to the edge of my area and it almost took two hours to walk there.

It has its rich and poor parts like always but the buildings here are so cool it’s really similar to Jinotepe but like where I live is literally an apartment and we live on the second floor it’s so cool!

It’s really hot here it’s even hotter then it was in Managua, but I LOVE TEACHING!! I thought I would just say that I have found so many new people here and I am able to help EVERY SINGLE ONE! I LOVE IT! I finally know how to talk to people with being shy or afraid or feel stupid like I did before the mission. MCCOY HAS COME OUT OF HIS SHELL FINALLY!!

Like on Sundays I teach the class, and I got people coming to my class that aren’t suppose cause they say "Elder Bucks class isn’t boring" ha-ha that made me laugh. But I have a really effective way of helping people. Practically every person I have met after I finish teaching and we clear up all the doubts they have I ask them "will you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ in the restored Gospel and be baptized AND THEY ALL SAY YES!! And do you know why?  Because they know its true!! Because I ask them and they say they know it is true, they can feel it!

I also memorized a scripture to help me not be boastful and to remember who it is that makes these miracles happen . Alma 62:12

12 Yea, I know that I am anothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will bnot boast of myself, but I will cboast of my God, for in his dstrength I can do all ethings; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

My area has a ward but we have some difficulties with the Bishop. He is a really cool guy but a total slacker he comes to church at 8:30am when church starts at 8am so we almost have barely enough time to listen to one speaker.  Oh, I also played the piano in sacrament meeting ha-ha that needed someone desperately.

I’m sorry that’s all I got the time for now!

Tell Carver and Rachelle I got their messages and thank them for them.

I love you all

Elder Buck
