Well of all the weeks I have had on the mission, this week stands alone!! Friday night Elder Rush and I are planning two baptismal services and after that I fell asleep. Elder Rush wakes me up and hands me the phone saying its my mission president and he wants to talk to me. So I am all disoriented and Presidente Poncio proceeds to tell me that I AM GETTING EMERGENCY TRANSFERRED!!
He told me the zone leaders in another zone fought! (it happens) and their zone was doing terribly, and that I was being sent to diffuse the situation and raise up the zone again!!!
SO I AM WRITING FROM MATAGALPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And oh buddy I have some work to do!! This place is a shadow to what it was a year ago!!
So Sunday I hop on a bus heading for Matagalpa from Leon, and 3 hours later I roll into Matagalpa. I wait for a while for my new comp to come get me and... nothing. So then I think WHY wait. I remembered where the house was so I hop in a taxi and go there. After talking to old friends, some members, where they tell what has been going on, shows up a missionary and a young man, Julito. Julito is a youth I activated and like one of my best friends!! And he sends in his mission papers in 2 weeks!!!! He gave me a big ole bear hug!! I love that guy. Seing your converts defend truth and participate in church is awesome!! I had the blessing to be passed the sacrament from a convert of mine, that was blessed by a convert of mine, and have 1 convert pray for the sacrament meeting, and another give a talk!! ALL in one Sunday!!
As for Leon, we baptized and confirmed two really sweet converts, Benigna who is 75 years old and Selenia, whose cousins are converts of mine! I am gonna miss Leon, definitely enjoyed my time there.
Literally when I entered in to Matagalpa I cried a little bit, I was so happy.
Love you all, my new comp is Elder Reinoso who dies (goes home from his mission) in a 2 weeks, he is a Dominican (KLK).
Love,
Elder Morrison
