Week 16 -- Cuidad Sandino

 I honestly don't know what to say, seeing as I did just talk to you three days ago. But I really can't express how nice that was. I was so happy to see all of your faces, and talk to you all in (kind of) person. And if you really want to think about it, there's only 18 more times, or so, taking the sacrament before the next time. and when you think about it like that, it doesn't seem as long. And don't worry that you cried. Knowing both of us, it was just a matter of time. I'm surprised that we both lasted as long as we did, to be honest. 

As for my week, not much has happened since we talked. I actually got pretty sick Christmas night, and it was bad enough that Elder Elison didin't let me work the next day. But I'm doing a lot better now, so I think it was just a 24 hour bug, or something along those lines. But that Sunday ending up going pretty well. The place that Elder Elison and I had been contacting wasn't working out so well for us, so we 're going back to an area that had been pretty good, and that seems to be doing well for us. I haven't actually given those little packs out, just because we've been so busy, but I plan on doing it in the next few days as a late Christmas/New Years present. 

And finally, Mom, I promise you that you don't have to worry about coming out to Nicaragua (Side note form Aimee: I am headed to Nicaragua in May for a medical humanitarian trip, I asked him if he was okay with that. I won't be able to see him, I just didn't want to make him homesick with me in the same country at the same time as him). I will never be one to get in the way of school for you, for one, and secondly, It probably won't end up effecting me at all. I really do think that we can even call a little bit later than Mother's day, if it works better. So really, don't worry about it.

Anyways, I don't have much else going on right now. Hopefully something exciting happens in the next week though! I love you all, and have a happy New Year's from over here in Nicaragua!

Love,

Cooper
