Running through the 6

Hey everyone,

Well this week was one to remember, because I got to go to Ocotal, and that was fulfilling! I realized a lot of things, one was how privileged I am to be able to go and serve in a place like that and help to establish the church. It was really special to realize how amazing this work is and how blessed I am to be in Nicaragua. I worked like a mule in Ocotal and it was a very trying time, but when I returned it reaffirmed and strengthen my love for my Heavenly Father and his perfection wisdom and power.

I remembered how through those 4 and a half months I grew so much, learned so much, and strengthened my testimony there. I miss those times, in a strange way, when I would kneel down and beg with all my heart because I felt it was way too hard for me to bear and I couldn't go on. Obviously I could and I did continue on, thanks solely to the grace of my Savior.

As for Matagalpa I am super frustrated in certain aspects and really hopeful in others. Truth be told we have not had a ton of success and I am annoyed by that, but we have been working hard and trying to just do what is right and we are starting to see little miracles that keep us rolling along and I am very hopeful for the future here. I love Matagalpa, it is such a blessed place and the Lord has been hastening His work here and I am just trying to keep up!

One of the people is Belkis, she is a young girl and we have been working with her family who is a mix of less active members and non members, her mom was really shut off, but we have been able to get her trust and even activate her through acts of service. And she gave the ok for her daughter Belkis to be baptized! When we first showed up the mom wouldn't even let us come in, or teach, but one day I carried her firewood for her and another day I washed her laundry for her and played soccer with her young children, and now she is super happy and is coming to church!

I love this work and am super pumped for this next week! I love you all so much and hope you are all doing well!

Love,
Elder Logan Morrison
