So the grand and amazing news that I received from changes is that..... I don't have any!! And neither does my comp! So both of us will be here in Tipitapa for another 6 weeks.... maybe... I shall explain. So this past week was Changes. So we had the meeting on Wednesday and all the missionaries went to Managua to receive changes. So this week, the Mission President is leaving, or finishing really. The new mission pres is coming this week and there will be another big meeting in Managua to say goodbye to the old pres and say hi to the new one. And then next week, there will be some changes in the mission. These are called Emergency Changes, when a missionary changes areas within the 6 weeks of the normal change. So who knows if me or my comp get emergency changes this next week. I don't know but its a high possibility. So we will see next week what happens.
So about this week.... Unfortunately we didn't baptize anyone but we have plans to do it soon. We have been helping 2 families out this week, the 2 that we rent able to be baptised last week. They are looking pretty positive and they both went to church yesterday!! When a family goes to church, its something awesome. That means that they can get rid of all the lies that the other churches make up about our services on Sundays, they can see how reverent the meetings are and they can feel the spirit. It also means that they are closer to the goal that we are teaching them about. Baptism. They know from the beginning what our purpose is and we are helping them to get there through all the teaching with the help of the spirit and through the help of the members. We continue to look for new people to teach so that we can help bless their lives. We love to work with the people of Nicaragua because they are really accepting, those that are prepared anyways, to the gospel and they love the Lord. I'm happy to be here and happy to serve the Lord!!
"The mortal experience will enable us to fly if we will let it, help it, use it with faith in the Christ who "descended below all. The message of the modern prophets, to a man, (and none of them, if you look closely, have been spared any of the vicissitudes) is this: that there is meaning and purpose in all things we suffer. That "all these things" can be for our good, however empty and barren they now appear. The elements of truth in the classical theories have been caught up in a greater whole. The Lord is not playing games with us. The outcome will far exceed the price; the "chastening" will be visioned as our blessing, the fiber of soul-quality will leave no regrets, only infinite and eternal gratitude, and the partnership we forged with Him before we entered this refining fire will loom as marvelous to us as does the face of a loving mother in the eyes of a child who has just emerged from his fever... healed, alive and prepared for life, eternal life, life like God's.
"All your losses will be made up to you in the resurrection if you continue faithful... By the vision of the Almighty I have seen it (Joseph Smith Quote)."
