So after interviews with Presidente Poncio I felt much better and quite amused. His advice to me was very interesting because it was literally the same thing my parents have told me over and over: relax, enjoy it, don't kill yourself, I know you are giving your all and I trust you, just chill out. Oh how I love revelation.
As for work and numbers and all the fun things about missionary work that many don't realize goes on until midnight between the APs, DLs and ZLs, and talking about plans and people and ways to improve, I quite enjoy that part.
I repent for I forgot to mention my family up in Jalapa finally got the green light to get married and baptized! Luckily the missionaries are good ones, (one happens to be one I trained, so of course, right???) but anyway, they done got tized, and I was so happy when I got the call I cried. They told me they want to go to the temple with me, and in March they invited me to their daughters sixth birthday so I can eat their turkey they have been raising, Chumpe.
Jalapa when I first went was about to be closed, then my second change because we were successful I got to open Jalapa 2, now the little nucleo is one step a way from being a branch!!! Super super exciting, they want to make Ocotal a District so that someday it can be a stake.
As for Ocotal, still hunting for someone. We are teaching an 8 year old kid who will be baptized soon, he is part of a less active family. Remember when I mentioned hopefully in the future about a stake here? This kid will be its president, he is so smart, and super faithful! One other kid that touched my heart was another grandson of a less active that we found by miracle because Aybar and I ran up the hill and I almost passed out because I am fat, so I decided to contact a house and the lady said she was a member. Anyway her grandson had a bowel defect and had to go in for surgery. I have never seen such courage in a young kid. We gave him a blessing and I am glad to say all is well he is home and fine!!
Trust me I am working hard and because I felt we weren't doing enough we now wake up an extra hour early for extra study time and proselyting time.
Oh also changes came, I am staying with Aybar here in Ocotal!!
Love you all Love Elder Morrison
