Miracles in Jalapa

November 28, 2016

Hey Everyone,

Not to worry because Jalapa is way up in the north tucked beautifully in the mountains we weren't touched by the hurricane. All is well. AND I AM SO HAPPY THE BEAVERS WON, I let out a shout and jumped and all the people here in the server looked at me weird.

We are super happy we have been working our tails off and the Lord has blessed us with more success. It is never easy but it is worth it. Our investigator that was super positive and ready to be baptized all he needed was to abandon coffee and he had already cut it down to only one cup a day fell through and fell through big time. But we have a mom and her daughter that we think are sure baptisms for this Sunday but we will see what goes down.

We found her a month ago and she was a wreck to say the least. She was cohabiting with an inactive member, and that relationship went south to alcohol, and she has changed a ton!! It is so amazing to see the Atonement work in someone like her. Anyway we were teaching her and there was a knock at the door, it was her former beau and member. He was slightly drunk, when he saw us he started crying, he said that he decided that night to quit drinking and now we are working with him and helping him and her repair their relationship, and what not.

We had 25 in sacrament meeting we almost need a new place to meet the old place is too small. Miracles!!

I am super pumped, like super pumped. I am super happy it was a crazy week with a lot of miracles and great stuff. I love this place, I don't want to leave. I mean I do but little by little I just fall in love with Nicaragua and the people, I know this is where I need to be. Yes it sucks sometimes but no change with no challenge. Coach Stanley always yelled if it does not challenge you it will not change you!!

SOOOO true. For this I try to meet every challenge with a force. So if the Lord thinks i am ready for something, so be it, I will do it with all my heart might mind and strength.

The members are changing, they are wanting to help us to go out on splits, give us references, two of them are asking that we get someone that can give them discipline so they can progress and repent. It is amazing this work and I am humbled to be apart of it

Love you all hope you are doing great. Sorry for the short letter this week, Elder Morrison
