Esto es el lugar!!!!!

Esto es el lugar!!!!! This is the place!

Well Nicaragua is pretty much the coolest place ever or twanis as they say here, but this week has been rather eventful! I baptized this cool teenage guy juan saturday, have visited lots of cool people ate lots of rice&beans and found every fruity beverage here to be life changing!!!!!

I have seen five geckos one two foot lizard, been amazed by the volcanoes everytime I see them, seen the super cool lake managua, stepped in way to many sketchy things, found two cool families, hitch hiked to the next town and back twice, been a little homesick from seeing the beach in corinto today once, felt like I am not very useful all the time said que? after almost averything some has said to me, loved life everyday, and wished I was no where else but here eveyday. I love life here the rain, the garbage everywhere, the ghetto rigged everything, the sky the volcanoes I can see on the distance, the people that are so nice, and the wonderful land in between the cities full of brahma cow and sugar cane fields. I have seen two brand new John deere tractors on a semi, and the bishop in our ward is the nicaraguan version of shane obert. overall Nicaragua is super twanis and riding in the back of some guys truck in looking up at the sky and being a missionary knowing that God wants you to be here is one of the greatest feelings of my life! Also , my testimony of prayer and how God hears and anwsers our prayers in his time frame. I have prayed for rides and we have got rides, I have prayed to be able to eat all that food on my plate and I have been able, I have prayed that my scriptures that I dropped in some guys truck would somehow come back and they did, and most of all I have prayed for strength and I have found it.

I love everybody and everybody back home in the states you better eveyday be thankful for what you have because people here who have nothing, live, eat and die and live happily with much less so never complain.
