Craziness


So this last week has been super crazy. I had lots of crazy experiences with my companion and with the families in my branch/the families that I've been teaching. One interesting thing that happened is that I took  a bus to the other end of Managua and didn't know what was happening until I didn't get off at the stop that I was supposed to get off at. When we got off the bus I told my companion to follow me onto the other but that would do that route in reverse...after all was said and done we got back 2 hours later a little scared and a little jarred up (mainly because of the drunk guy that was getting WAY too close to me).
 
It sounds like a LOT has been happening at home over the past week. Never lose focus on the important things in life: 1. our forever families, 2. trials will pass, 3. LOVE EVERYONE. Seriously, we as human beings need to love more and provide more service to those around us. As we try and love those that are around us and invite them to church or to listen to the missionaries we provide service for them that many cannot provide, and we reap many blessings.
 
I love this mission, I love my branch and love my investigators, but, yet again, the Lord has called me to another part of the vineyard. For the time being I am in the office of the mission helping doing some secretarial things before the apostle comes to Nicaragua. The Lord taught me a lot in my last area and with my last companion. I will work hard wherever the Lord has placed me, but sometimes it's hard how I'm just ripped out of the areas and everything. I'll learn to get over that.
 
I love you all so much and pray for you all the time. I have been praying for Uncle Phil and his family, I know that the Lord will take care of his family. I love my Saviour Jesus Christ and I love the Book of Mormon so much. I also love the opportunity that we have withtin this church to always progress, change, become better.
 
Work hard, love even harder.
Elder B
 
P.s. Idea for the week: start a gratitude journal!
