Well, I'm going to make this extremely short, but WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY!!!!
You guys have no idea how excited I am that you are here. Why? Obviously
because I get to see you and spend time with you after not being able to for two
years, but also because there are some things that words can literally not
describe. You guys are experiencing the very things that I`ve come to love
about Nicaragua. You understand what its like to not speak Spanish, being
completely lost, eating weird food, get accustomed to the extreme poverty...but
there is one HUGE thing that you`re missing and it`s what makes all of it worth
it. Being able to bear witness of Jesus Christ every day. I`m sure you got a
small taste when you took that old couple home from church, but I`m hoping that I can give
you guys a little taste of that when we visit some converts this week.
I was thinking about sharing more thoughts about finishing my mission, but I
will just talk to you about that in person. Just got back from Managua from my
last interview with President. It was amazing and I feel such a good peaceful
feeling knowing that I served the Lord with all I`ve got. Kinda crazy getting
back because all the taxi drivers were on strike over the gas
prices...you know...the normal in Managua (burning tires, road blocks, policemen
in combat uniforms). AWWW MANN!!!!!! I'm so stoked that I'm gonna see you guys in
two days. Went with Elder Jovel and Gaitan by the way. Haha...they said they saw
you guys at church. Supposedly your Spanish isn`t too bad, Dad.
I`ll just say that this week has been amazing. Ana and Adonis`s
baptism...SO AWESOME! I love that family so much. Well, you guys will just
have to wait anxiously until you see me on Wednesday morning to hear about the
rest.
Wednesday at 9:00AM changes meeting starts so I would maybe try to get
there like half an hour early. Here is my phone number if you guys need help
getting there: (505)8403-9058. That will end at about 12:30 or so and then we
have to be at President`s house at 4:00 pm for a little meeting followed by a
dinner. Before and after that I think we`ll probably just go to the hotel and
visit a couple of converts here in Managua close by.
See you guys on Wednesday! I'm SOOOOOOOOO STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SALVAJE!!!!
Love,
Elder Ward
