For most of the week we have been visiting the investigators that we had lined up for baptism last week and we were able to get all of them to the baptismal font this week. The first was Zaydi who the missionaries had been teaching for a lot of time and finally decided to be baptized. We are just waiting for her mom to choose to be baptized also.

The other family was the Soza family (Secundino, Gladys, and Sheyla). They have been investigators for more than a year but couldn’t get baptized since they had to wait on a divorce in order to get married and be baptized. This week they finally got the divorce registered and we had the baptism. Then they wanted to be baptized the next week. But I finally convinced to do it this week since I told them we already had bought the cake for the marriage and baptism. So that baptism happened on Saturday.

Saturday was a very long day, but it was awesome. We left at 4:00 a.m. to go to Managua for the meeting with President Nelson. It was just with the North and South missions of Nicaragua. He was in Honduras the week before and did several devotionals for all of Central America, but we didn’t see those. They even gave us McDonald’s for lunch afterwards. Then we had the 2-hour drive back to Matagalpa and arrived about 3:30 p.m. and started the baptism and marriage for the Soza Family at 4:00 p.m. And that took up quite a bit of the day.
I’m not sure if we will have a baptism this week or not. As of right now, we don’t have anyone ready. But we’ll see. You never know. In addition, we get to go back to Managua for a meeting with all of the leaders in the mission. So that will be fun.
But that was the week. Sounds like everything is going well at home.
Love, Elder Ferrin
