I realized how incredibly true the phrase "Whom the Lord calls, He qualifies" is, and it is quite impressive. For example, my situation here in Matagalpa. So far on my mission I have been able to be a part of...
1. Reopening an area- did that in Jalapa and again in Ocotal.
2. Helping a fallen Zone- did that in Leon.
3. Bringing Matagalpa back up to its potential- I saw that potential when I started out here, I know now what needs to be done to help this place rise up again.
4. Establish the Church in Matagalpa- this is done by unity with church leaders, something that I was taught a lot about in Leon. Currently the church attendance is less that 400 in the whole entire stake. I know by my experience in Jalapa how to help the small branches.
5. Work with a Dominican comp- Dominicans, in my experience, have been hard to get along with, but when you learn to get along with them and understand them, they are the coolest people, super dedicated. My new comp is Elder Jimenez, he is a really good missionary and I am pumped to work with him!!
There were a lot of changes today, Elder Ward, my old ZL in Ocotal, is my fellow ZL here. Although we are not in a companionship together, he is with Elder Davis and I am with Elder Jimenez!!
Likewise I killed Elder Reinoso this week, in two days he will be on the beaches of the carribean in The Dominican Republic, dancing La Bachata, which is a really awesome type of dance and music from the DR. We baptized a lady this week, she is super humble and sweet, Elder Reinoso had been working with her for a long time and finally she got dunked!! Such a cool experience.
Other than that I just got to roll up the sleeves and put on a smile and work my tail off!!
Love you all so much,
Exitos esta semana,
Elder Morrison
