Well another week has come and gone... and life is still generally the same down here in Nicaragua!
Tuesday
Elder Collado and I went out to Managua for Training with all the
missionaries that I came with! It's part of the 12 week process, a
conference week 8! I'm almost there! Hahaha.... so anyways, it was great
to see all my friends from the CCM and how they have progressed!
As
a companionship, we have really kinda been struggling with our numbers.
Like bad. And it's not necessarily just because Collado has two newbies
with him, but yeah it's been a little bad. On Thursday I worked and
slept at the house of Elder Bennett, because Elder Copeland and
Regalizo (ZL) had to go out to Managua! Elder Copeland got bit by a
spider! Thank goodness I haven't seen a huge one yet. So anyways on
Friday I had to work in our area alone with Elder Hartley, and I was
determined to be efficient and effective. And we were able to reach all
the standards of excellence! Really ya just gotta work hard and trust in
the Lord in all you do and He will do the rest!
As
far as safety goes, it's all good down here. We have so much fun with
all the drunk guys to be honest! The scariest moment of my mission
happened on Saturday. We were sitting in a house teaching and a
homosexual walked past, said "con permiso" and gave me the creepiest
smile I have ever seen. I don't know if I've ever been that scared in my
life. Hahah but other than that all is good!
Once
again a relatively short letter. I don't understand how all my friends
write these huge long letters with every little detail! It's just hard
because everyday is for the most part the same hahahaha. But just know
that I am doing great out here! My Spanish is coming along. I plan to be
able to completely converse by the end of this Change. Right now I
basically can,but it's broken and I don't understand everything! But
more important than that, my testimony of the Savior is continuing to
grow every single day and I can see it in all the people down here as
well. I love the people of Nicaragua, I love the Lord, and I love all
you guys!
Love,
Elder Merrill
