The tides have turned!!

Sooooo this week I am running at a good 100%!!! But I think my comps email from this week isn't exactly the same. He got Chickengunya this week!! Yeah it wasn't so awesome. It started attacking him hard on Wednesday night and then Thursday morning he was bed ridden, soooo we found some faithful Young men to come and stay with him for the day so that I could go out and work on Thursday.... Luckily he was feeling good enough on Friday to go out and work, so he did! It was a slower paced day, but we got through it. Now he is feeling fine again. He got over it throughout the day on Sunday. He started the day off a bit drained, but when we got some lunch, there was a new found energy and he overcame the sickness! yay!! It was really sad though because he was in a lot of pain. He opened up a package of Ramen, and started eating it raw. I asked if he was gonna cook it, and he said that he was too lazy to cook it..... I found much joy in that statement, because usually people joke that missionaries just eat Ramen for all meals because it is easy. And that day he didn't even have the energy to cook it! ;)

Such a good attempt to a study sesh. I don't blame him though, I know how it felt!

The Ramen! ;)

This week ended up being really awesome though! We have quite a few investigators right now and the awesome part is that literally almost all of them, (except for like 2) have a goal to get baptized on a specific date!! Many people are preparing to enter the fold of God!! It is really exciting.

As I think I had mentioned, we had a baptism planned for this last week. Everything was going good until Satan intervened and put up a huge obstacle. Chester was totally ready and everything and then Friday night he said that he told his mom that he was going to get baptized, and she said that she would kick him out of the house. He is 19 so he could technically decide to do it if he wanted to, but he got really scared that he would not have a place to live anymore! Aghhhh, so we are going to try to talk with his mom, but she really doesn't like us much. She thinks that we are Satan.... so yeah, we will see how that goes.

But all is well here. We had a weird day here on Saturday. I am technically financier still...... I got to help President Collado's secretary all day doing the auditing for all of the branches in the district of Puerto Cabezas. Let me tell you I never want to do that again. That was sooo boring and tedious. But president came as well and did interviews with the zone.

I really enjoyed my interview, because President taught me a very important lesson. Sometimes we have to lose the small battles to be able to win the big one. If there are many problems, and we don't have the power to fix all of them, we need to focus the energy we do have in those battles that are more important, that have the potential to influence greater. I really liked that council. It helped me put it into the perspective of leadership, and how to lead effectively. I love talking with Pres.

Anyway, I believe that is all of the news of the week!!!

Love, Elder Moser

Pics this week...

The testimony meeting fireside that we have after each changes to welcome the news and to share miracles seen in Puerto Cabezas.

With my companion.

Nothing like a Sunday morning coconut with Armando! :)
