Week 13 -- Cuidad Sandio

I know for a fact that that was an awesome Gospel Doctrine lesson. At the very least, better than our Gospel Principles teacher trying to explain the concept of exaltation to a group of investigators who have only had the Restoration lesson. But honestly, I know that you were great :) 

So, for my week! It's been a little interesting. We've basically baptized all of our investigators who can be baptized at this point, so we've done a lot of knocking doors. We've found a lot of interesting people this week, but we'll see how many of them want us to keep coming back. And there's been a few interesting things happening this week. First of all, today is Purisima.

Poisonous Caterpillar 

It's a catholic holiday, also called Day of the Mother, where all of the Catholics get together and, well, worship the virgin Mary. It's..... Interesting. But it makes it a little bit harder to work the week before because Sandino is a little bit more dangerous during holidays. But yeah. Dad can peg on a little bit at the end, if he wants, because from what I hear it's even bigger in Spain than it is here. Also, changes are this week. Unfortunately, Elder Elison is probably leaving, because he has about 6 months in Zona Sandino right now. So I'm going to have a "step-dad", someone who finishes out the last six weeks of my training. It'll be interesting. But yeah. Today has actually been a pretty fun P-day! We went out to Bello Amanacer, one of the districts in our zone, an some zone business.

But while we were there, we actually visited one of Elder Hironaka's converts, who has a bunch of fruit trees in his yard. So I got a bunch of pictures of those, which I will send after I'm done writing this letter. But yeah! Then we went to the Mercado, which is basically just a big outdoor market. I didn't actually get any pictures there, for fear of getting robbed, but if you look at pictures from the markets in Israel, you'll get a pretty good idea.

Well, that's about all for this week! I love you all!
