Merry Christmas

For those who have never been in Nicaragua for Christmas, just imagine the opposite of the states. They all stay out past midnight, they all throw HUGE parties pulling out all the stops, cranking music, throwing fireworks, dancing, yelling, eating, drinking and being merry. It was really hard to sleep last night to say the least. And we tried to get home early to avoid any weirdness. To a Nica this time is awesome, however to a white dude it has been strange but I have adapted to the new customs.

This time next week I will be completing my first and possibly only full year outside of the United States of America, that is weird!

This week we baptized perhaps the easiest convert ever, the most faithful member I have ever met in my life, and I am not kidding this man is more consecrated to the work than most missionaries, Juan Rizo´s son named Samuel. He turned 9 this Thursday and got baptized. We taught him, which made it easy because his father had already taught him everything and he counts as a convert baptism.

The kid is awesome, I have seen very few people that have been more pumped to get baptized in my mission! So that was nice.

My new comp Elder Melenciano is awesome, he is never negative and loves talking trash to Nicas playing soccer, even though he is terrible at soccer, but he doesn't care! He is awesome we are pumped to throw some fuego here.

Love you all Merry Christmas!
