Transfer to Siguatepeque

This week again is going to be different. Conference and Nuñez packing made it more stale.

Transfers

I am leaving El Carmen for the Siguatepeque area. Nuñez thought it was a possibility. This area is too slow for Elders so we have sisters there now. I have the now former Immigration and Technology secretary as my companion. I met him at the airport and his name is Elder Xicará. (Good luck with the pronunciation).

Visiting Everyone

We just about visited every investigator we had in the span of a couple of days. There was like 2 people we didn't have time for or didn't have time for us. We visited tons of members (watched the women's session with some members as well). Nuñez said goodbye to them (We weren't sure if I was leaving as well) and some gave him gifts.

General Conference

We were able to get 9 investigators to watch general Conference and there was probably a lot more. Nuñez explained that the amount of Latinos going on a mission is extremely low. It's like 30% or less. The Lord has made it very clear: Missionary Work is very important. Missionary work was a clear theme, and it's difficult to find themes with General Conference.

Goodbye Nuñez

Nuñez is leaving tomorrow for his house. I have p-day today with them still. We are going to play soccer later today and it's Nuñez's mission friends vs the office staff. (APs, secretaries, and the Travel AP -his comp left so there's only one now) I have had a lot of fun with Nuñez and its sad to see him go.

He's ecstatic about leaving and is the only missionary from his starting group still here. The others changed missions or went home early. He served his full time and is ready to go.

Not much this week worth talking about but General Conference and Transfers makes up for it, verdad? (Right?)

Lots of pictures this week:

Pictures with Details

Still no letter from Chaz this week, but we talked with him after he sent a bunch of pictures. Here are some of the photos with explanations: Elder Bahr and Elder Jarman at a river near their house. Cooling off in the water. No swimming! Elder Jarman teaching members how to make French Toast Teeter break during the day. There was a whole rabbit cooking thing, not sure if this is rabbit or not. Making corn - said it tastes like popcorn. Skinning and eating rabbit. Chaz says it tasted amazing.

Teaching, Music, Lessons and a Baptism

Monday Spent the morning at the mission office. Bussed back and did my email and phone call. Played some basketball at the church. I'm not great at making 3pt shots but up close I'm decent. Tuesday - Got another baptism date We had district council and lunch with the district. There was a small restaurant? bar? behind a sweet shop. We had pollo chuco again. (Chicken covered with sauces) We taught this investigator, Esperanza who couldn't read but has been taught the lessons and wants to know if the church is true. She's currently having issues because her family and her family's pastor have been pressuring her not to go to church. After the lesson we did her dishes using one of the outdoor "sinks". It was a large basin filled with water and had a ledge where you could wash your dishes. You get clean water from the basin, wash the dish, and you deposit the dirty water on the ledge because it had a drain. Later that day we visited an inactive family wh...

Last Week (this is late, from the last week of October)

---Baptism--- We had the baptism of Nayeli on Sunday. She had been an investigator for a very long time (since last December) and many missionaries had given up on her. The entire ward attended which was great. We ran out of cake and there wasn't enough seating for everyone. It was great to see her take that step ---Another Baptism--- We attended the baptism of the bishop's daughter on Monday as well. The baptism doesn't count for us, but it's still great to see another baptism for the ward. We were able to help with the prep for it which was fun. We had to tape a mop to a broom to get the door open (hard to fill the font without the keys to it but we managed) ---Spiritual Thought-- But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:6 I really like this scripture because of how well it describes the Holy Ghost. He helps us ...
