It's about time! Hahahah congrats to the football team on the big W :)
Sooooo....
this last week was full of many great and glorious things. Changes!
Elder Naisbitt naturally was the one that had changes, that was not a
surprise. So one more change here in Jinotepe! One more change here to
try and find people that are ready to be baptized :) at the same time,
our other two companions had changes as well. So I was going to be left
with one new ZL companion, and two others. We got to the Change Meeting,
and we thought we knew who my new ZL companion was gonna be (Elder
Copeland), but anything could have happened! President announced it
and... my new ZL companion is...... ELDER COPELAND!

Hahahahaha so here
is the deal... Elder Copeland came to my area in April when we were in a
foursome together. Then from May to September he was the District
Leader and I was his Zone Leader. And now we are companions again. Seven
and a half months talking every single day. Two General Conferences
together. Hahahahahah we are excited! Now just hopefully we can baptize
this change unlike the last one :) Which by the way.... we have two
baptisms ready for this week! Please pray for Alejandra and Eyris :)
The
work! I am in the greatest work in the entire world. It is the work of
the Lord. We have been working really hard these last couple weeks, even
harder than normal! And in these last few days, Elder Copeland and I
were able to pull out like 3 for sure baptisms for the month of October!
As you guys have probably seen, this is not a very successful area. I
have had 4 baptisms in basically 5 months. However, in October we can do
something special. Please pray for us.
What
else, what else....On Friday I went down to work in Rivas, that was a
lot of fun! The new District Leader down there is Elder Scheffler, he is
really good friends with Houston! He is a wicked hard worker and a
super cool kid, so all is good there :)
Other
than that... all is well down here! Oh yeah, my new companion that I
will spend the majority of the time working with is Elder Velasquez. He
is a decent teacher so hopefully we should
be ok :)

Love,
Elder Merrill
