We
made the decision that we are going to be exactly obedient. And that is
what we tried to do the best we could. And would you look at that....
we got some dang good blessings out of it :) Monday we went looking for a
guy named Anner, who's had times in the church but has basically been
lost. At about 8:30 at night, we went back to his house one last time,
and he was there! He told us that for awhile he never felt ready to get
baptized, but now he wants to get it done as quickly as possible, and
we're hoping for this month :)
Wednesday
we were walking around contacting, life every single day, and I saw a
little side street and thought "hmm that might be good to contact". We
went back there a little later, contacted some 16 year old boy who's
BEEN GOING TO CHURCH FOR LIKE HALF A YEAR BUT THE MISSIONARIES HAVE
NEVER TALKED TO HIM AND HE WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED. So he should get
baptized this week or next week :) we also found some other new really
good investigators this week. Just gotta be obedient and trust in the
Lord!
My
Son, Elder Castro, is great! He loves to work, loves to contact, and
loves to talk! And for someone that doesn't have a huge interest in
talking like me, it works out perfectly :) We work well together, but above
all we're working hard and being super obedient. Sometimes that's all
you can ask for :)
Other
than that, not a whole lot is going on here :) other than I haven't
been jumped this week! Although it's been close a couple times :) I love
the members here in Managua, and I love being a missionary por La
Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias :)
Love you all,
Elder Merrill
