Good Week

Well this week was good. I was in Managua, AGAIN... I´m always in Managua these days. I´ll be in Managua on Tuesday and Wednesday for meetings. 

Highlights of this week-

Baby Shower for one of my recent converts, Nazerely.

The husband of Grisel (Ernesto) came to church this week. (Although they live in a different branch but Grisel refuses to go to the other branch because her aunt goes to ours. That´s always a mess and I´m not sure exactly what to do).

Yasmina- we found her this week, she accepted a baptism date and a member that lives close to her brought her to church this week!

Divisiones and Fruit Basket

Not a whole ton happened this week. We worked a whole ton with members, and I did divisiones in Ocotal which is 20 or so minutes from Honduras. This week I get to do divisiones with my mother, Hermana Chinchilla in good old Managua! 

Thanks for all your pictures, I love them. There are Christmas trees up here in Esteli as of 2 weeks ago. 

Oh, the Relief Society put on an activity this week, they danced and made food and turns out the Nicaraguan women like to play fruitbasket too... (= . They weren´t doing anything at the beginning, just sitting and hardly talking so I taught them how to play. Aleida loved the activity and has some good friends now, so that´s cool! (we´re going to work on the divorce situations between them still).

Love you all a ton!

Mucho Pictures

So this week I spent 2 days in Managua for trainers/trainees and one for leaders meeting. Not much happened besides that. This weekend was a little rough as far as investigators and things go, we don´t have a whole ton right now.  

Thanks so much for fasting for me. I really felt blessed. I really, really did. I felt physically and emotionally uplifted. I didn´t know why until you all told me you were fasting for me, I really felt blessed. So thank you!

I´m going to send pictures.

And Thank you for the pictures.
