Hello family and friends! This week once again went by incredibly fast.
This is all going by way to fast. Here is a little report!
Tuesday
we had Leadership Council again, and this was fun. Hahahahahah our Zone
is doing ok, but the mission has not had a great month. President
talked a lot about how we are doing well, but there is a need to do
more! Our goal at the beginning of the year was 2060 baptisms (Army of
Helaman). And if we got this goal, President is gonna take us to San
Juan del Sur! It is a super cool tourist place down south in Nicaragua.
Last year the mission baptized 1729. Right now we have about 1680, or
somewhere around there. It's pretty fijo that we get 2060, so President
decided to test us a little more. He put the monthly goals for each Zone
in these last three months of the year, instead of the Zone Leaders
putting it. The goals are gonna be difficult, but possible! In Jinotepe,
we need to baptize 26 this month, with only three weeks to baptize!
Should be a lot of fun :) and we put a new goal for the mission! 2300!
President promised that if we get 2300 baptisms as a mission, he will
give us all sick Mission Shirts down at San Juan del Sur. Creating the
vision! It was also fun to see a lot of my really good friends at
Leadership Council.
Wednesday and Thursday we worked really hard! And Thursday night we prepared a little for Zone Meeting, that we had on Friday!
Friday
we got up early to prepare for Zone Meeting. It was looking all good!
And then I got the text. One of the APs texted me and said that
President was going to be there. Which means nerves up the wall hahahha.
We talked about how the Zone was doing, obedience, and then a little
more about how to work with members. I always think about how in this
life, we really only ever have two options. Obedience, and disobedience.
When we are obedient, we come closer to Christ. When we are disobedient
in any way, shape or form, we fall away from Him, and unless we repent,
we will never be able to return to His presence. It is that simple.
Obedience is that important! So let's be Obedient with exactness,
because in that way we can see the blessings of change in our life. And
if not, then let's repent! Afterwards, President said it was excellent,
one of the best he has ever seen (but doesn't he say that to
everybody???) hahaha but it was all good! Then that afternoon, I got to
go around and work a little with my dad Elder Collado. Yes he is still
AP. That is a lot of time. We went around animating all the
possibilities. It was awesome to work with him, and in the off time in
the car, talking about some of the best times of my mission, down in
Granada with him. We have so many memories!
Elders Copeland, Naisbitt, Hartley, Hanson and Merrill
Saturday
we baptized Alejandra and Eyris! And even better, on Sunday they got
confirmed. Even better! And everything went well in the Zone, Gracias a
Dios. We finished with 20! Oh yeah and on Saturday we had to go help out
some sisters to get a baptism done. What did we have to do? Distract a
super drunk guy for about an hour because the sisters were scared of
him. C'mon. Hahahah it was funny, but kind of a waste of time.
But the girls got baptized so todo bien!

I
am super excited for my 3rd General Conference of the mission! Pray so
that we can get enough investigators, because if we don't have enough
then we can't go and watch! Love you all so much!
