So Much Rain!!!

It is definitely rainy season here in Puerto, and Nicaragua, and it doesn't mess around here when it rains!! Holy cow!! When it begins to rain, you either find shelter or you are completely drenched in the next minute. So yeah, I have been getting pretty stinking wet lately! But I got myself some rain boots for $8 today, and they will be serving me really well for the next year! :) haha

This week has been super crazy. Like I mentioned, we had to go back to Managua for a leadership council meeting, so that kind of took out a good 2 and 1/2 days of our week! that is never fun, because time is precious here!!

So we had to make up for that time, and we did. We worked super hard this week and were praying for many miracles and the Lord provided!!We were able to baptize 5 people this weekend. They are all family of some less active members that we are activating, and they are totally awesome! Some of them are already talking about going on missions. They are Selma 13, Nayely 13, Jimmy 13, Dexter 14, and Neils 11. They are super awesome and we gave the three boys white shirts to wear to church on Sunday for their confirmation. They looked like some little future missionaries. The baptismal services here in Puerto are a bit different than the ones that I was having in Ducuali. First of all, because we are the Miskito Branch, we don't really have many people with callings. The District President is basically the Branch President. He is the one that takes charge of all the stuff. So we didn't have much help from the members to plan the service. But it was nice anyway. We did what we could to make it a spiritual service.

Preparing the font for the baptism!

Getting them to church on Sunday presented a bit of a trial of our faith, because two of the 5 were in charge of taking care of the house while their aunts were out running an errand. So they couldn't leave until they got back...... church was supposed to start in an hour. So we left for a few minutes and then came back and MIRACLE the aunt was home, with about 10 minutes to spare before church! So we all ran to church as fast we could and all was well!!! haha

This week was full of funny experiences! One being the funniest. One day when it was raining really hard, we were walking by this part of Puerto that has a small stream that normally runs though it, about 10 feet deep of a canyon type thing. We saw it that day, and more than just filling up the stream área, it flooded a ton!!!! But Elder Compton wanted to take a pic next to it, in a tree that was just past the bank of the wáter. So he jumped to the tree and it was a bit slipperier than he thought..... He fell into the wáter, and it got super deep super fast. Just about 2 feet out, it was like 3 feet deep!!! so he fell in the wáter and got everything wet....... it was pretty funny, and there are pics :)

The flooded part of Puerto that I was talking about!

Right now I just really love these people! They are soooo sweet and even the rude ones aren't very rude compared to some of the people in Managua. So I just love it here. The language is going.... I feel like a brand new missionary again because I have to learn a whole other language. I don't remember seeing that in my call. But whatever. Miskito lantakisna. Miskito aisaras, pero lantakaia nitsna. Kasak ba dauks. :) haha that is some very very basic Miskito. But I am learning a little at a time. A lot of it is based off of English! So that makes it a little easier!

I love the gospel and I love the Christlike attribute of patience! It is so necessary. If you are not patient, you can't really develop many of the other attributes. It is hard to have knowledge, love, be humble or diligent if you are not patient. Sooooooo be patient ;) hahaha

Love, Elder Moser
