Busy Busy Busy!!

I LOVE PUERTO CABEZAS!! This week was super crazy and busy! I have soooo much to do here! First of all, I am a Miskito missionary. The idea of a miskito missionary is like the Spanish missionaries in the states. The entire "Stake" is my area. And I am in the process of learning Miskito. It is hard but yang miskito aisaia wantsna :) I am super motivated to learn it because I know that I have already learned one language here on the mission, and I know the power of the gift of tongues. But basically we have to be careful with having the entire zone as our area because we can get caught in the trap of a lot of walking if we are not careful! So far, we have been good at controlling that.

My companion is Elder Compton. He is from Brigham City Utah, and he is super outgoing. He has been in Puerto Cabezas for about 5 months now, and knows it very well! He has been a Miskito missionary for about 3 months now. So his Miskito is pretty good, and he can talk a lot of the more basic things pretty fluently with people. But we both have a lot to learn! He did parcore before the mission and he is really good at motivating me to do exercises :) hahah That is a good thing. I have been told that I am already losing weight. I hope that it is just fat and not anything else! :)

The people here are soooooo awesome! I seriously love it here! Everyone is always so relaxed and so open to hear us teach. They almost all speak at least a bit of Spanish. Probably 10% of the people only speak Miskito. 88% speak Spanish and Miskito and the other 2% speak English Spanish and Miskito. So Spanish is very well understood. But at the same time, people are so much more loving and impressed  when someone is speaking Miskito to them there. It is awesome because when Elder Compton speaks Miskito in the contacts,  people are so much more excited and enthusiastic to talk to us. They really appreciate people who speak Miskito.

I got to fly back to Managua this morning for a leadership council...so I am back in the home base for a bit. It is kind of annoying because I just wanted to leave, and I finally did, but now I am back for a few days. But I will be back out there soon.

I really just wanted to share briefly of the importance of reading the Book of Mormon. We put a small focus on a younger couple this week that is going inactive. They haven't been to church in like 2 months. So we went every day this week and read the Book of Mormon with them for about 10 minutes, ended with a prayer, and then left. We would commit them to church each time. And when it came to Sunday, they were already ready and were waiting for 30 minutes when we arrived at the house to go to the bus together. And all just because we went each day, shared a small spiritual moment with them, reminding them of the importance of church, and then prayed! and Boom! They came to church!! Reading the Book of Mormon is super important!

Love you all!!
