week 10 - Cuidad Sandino

Baptism of the little girl in the middle, Francis

I honestly don't even care that nothing much happened this week, I'm just glad that I'm getting to hear from you each week. Plus, it's very true that exciting is not always a good thing. But I'm glad everyone survived the week! As for me, things are actually going pretty well. We had two baptisms this week! They were both Elder Hironaka and Seneca's investigators, but because Zone leader companionships work a little bit differently, they were technically all of ours. And Elder Elison and I are feeling a lot better at this point, so we're back out working. As for other stuff that happened this week.... Not much really did, to be honest. The week is kind of blending all together. Time works weird on a mission. It seems like hardly any time has passed since last P-day, but at the same time, it feels like I've been on a  mission for my entire life. It's strange. But one very good thing that happened this week is that the mission office found my English Quad! I never told you all this, but I had left my scriptures on the airplane on the way here. As soon as I realized they were gone, I thought they were a lost cause. But I mentioned it to Hermana Russell, she said she'd call the airport to look for them, and the next day we got a call saying that they had been found. It really is a small and tender mercy. I'll have my scriptures back within the week!

And about those pictures, I'll do my best! As always, I can feel everyone's love here in Nicaragua, and it's amazing. Thank you all for the emails!
