Tell Chelsea and Mike congratulations for the baby and Todd for his mission call.
Mom, to answer your questions . . . Yes, I still am playing the piano in sacrament meeting. They are nice enough to let me choose the hymns now. I never bought any boots since I am a bit lazy to go and find ones that I like. But I don’t really need them a whole lot. Yes, I have flip flops and an extra pair still. I haven’t really used socks for baptisms.
On Tuesday, we had to go to the new missionaries meeting in Managua. Right as the meeting started, we got call saying that Elder Barrios was supposed to be in immigration to get his cedula. So we quickly did that and returned to the meeting. In the meeting, they talked a lot about obedience which is something that they normally do pretty often. It is still important, and a lot of missionaries never learn to follow the principal. If you can learn to be obedient to the commandments of God, he pours down so many blessings over our head. And sometimes we are just to blind to realize it. I like how in Preach my Gospel it says that obedience is the first law of the heavens. If we can master that, we will be like God and Jesus Christ.
On Friday, we had interviews with President Collado. But this time they came to do them in the house of the missionaries to make sure they are clean. Yes! The house is clean. It was the weirdest interview ever since we did it sitting on the beds. A bit different. But everything went well. I enjoy it when we have interviews.
We had plans to baptize the Lopez family this week but it fell through and they changed it to the next week. So we hope that this Saturday they will be baptized. They have everything done, including the interview, they just need to get baptized.
In Sunday, we only had two investigators in church. Efraín, the son of Efraín y Reyna, and a hermana named Dominga. Also Domingo gave his first talk in church and he was ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood to the office of Priest.
So that was the week. We are still looking for a lot more people to teach and we know we’ll be able to find them. But there you are.
Elder Ferrin
