This week was a week of work and then some, and Sunday was a very good time. I worked my tail off looking for investigators with a member where I had the opportunity to be rejected, that was fun. Then I missed a bus, even more fun, then I got to church late, even more fun, and didn't get to take the sacrament, even more so. But I decided to go to the other wards sacrament meeting, and I got there early so I sat down and prayed and meditated for quite some time. And I will never forget how powerful that moment was for me when I partook the bread and water. The feeling that overcame me was indescribable and powerful. I felt the holiness of the Lord overcome me and the humility of the Savoir, likewise I felt the peace and joy that comes with sanctification through the Holy Ghost.
I am very pumped for the weeks to come, I hope and expect to have more success, we got turned down a lot this week. In our mission we invite many people to baptism, generally on the first time we meet them, it is the number one reason we are very successful, and here in Matagalpa many people accept it but a very small percentage complete with it. It can be very frustrating because these people are so non committal, but at the same time they are so sweet and kind that you can't really be mad at them. But for reals though sometimes I wish they would be more direct and mean about it, they have like 10 million ways of saying no without saying no.
Since Nicaragua is the 2nd hottest place in the universe, behind the sun, we will not be having snow for Christmas. So, our mission president is still calling it a white Christmas because we want to baptize a bunch of people dressed in white!!
I seriously love helping people get baptized, I have yet to see a sad person as they come out of the water! They are always smiling and very very happy! And in order for the whole world to feel that joy, all of you Mormons out there had better #lighttheworld Those videos are powerful!!
Love you all so much Love Elder Morrison
