Ben's Mission to Nicaragua: Killing Miracles!

Its official! I am a murderer! I killed Elder Compton!! He is no longer with me. And we make it a wonderful finish! This was such a great week!!!

Well, there he went..... goodbye Elder Compton!

So just to start off, I had the opportunity to work in another area on divisions and we worked with a member named Anthony! He is an awesome guy that just talked to everyone as we passed them in the street! As we got to talking so that we could get to know him, Elder Alvarado (my comp from Managua) and I found out that he was baptized by Elder Champayne!!! Nice work Sawyer! haha Everyone has been asking me about Sawyer this week. The hermana Jenny says hello! hahah So that was pretty cool!

With the Hermano Antonio that I talked about in the email

We had a wonderful miracle this week! We met this couple that is so nice and cute! And they were just so ready to be baptized!! It was such a miracle! We were walking by our convert Olympia´s house, and some little girls that are neighbors told us that we needed to go over there to look at something. So we went over and we met Snayder and Xiomara! They literally asked us if we could help baptized them and of course we said yes. So we put a goal that they could be baptized in 3 weeks and they seemed slightly disappointed. We asked some more questions and they told us that they had already visited the church several times and heard a lot about the doctrine and wanted to be baptized and follow in the church. We checked their knowledge of the doctrina, y sabian bastante! We didn't even have to really teach them anything. They asked if they could be married and baptized a lot sooner. So we helped them do it this weekend! Crazy!! Ah, they are so awesome! When we went to go to church with them on Sunday, they were already half way there! He was asking about how long it would take to have a calling in the church. So we are going to help them get some callings pretty soon!

The marriage and baptism of Snayder and Xiomara!

They are so awesome! And they were a huge miracle in this last week that we had together! Elder Compton and I had been praying for miracles and we found a family that was way prepared desde antes!

My new comp now is Elder Monson! He is the same one that I have mentioned antes. He is super awesome and I know that our time together is going to be great! He is from Salt Lake City and he has a twin! That is so cool! I think it would be awesome to have a twin. He has 3 months less than me in the mission, but like 4 months more than me in Puerto! But we are companions now! And we are going to do work! If there is anything more you would like to know about him let me know!

This week, a missionary shared a really cool example to me. He said that we need to imagine two paths in life. The first is more or less like this: <>. this is the path of satan. As you can see (it is really small, but follow here with me) the path starts out really big and gets bigger! We have so much "freedom", we can cheat, break the word of wisdom, save time by not going to church or reading scriptures and just do everything wrong. But as we go farther, the path gets smaller. We get addictions, we don't learn in life, we can't get a good job, we maybe have a child before planned. All depending on the sin to be "free" After these consequences, we no longer have the "freedom" that we had before! The path gets a lot smaller and we get trapped!
The path of Got looks like this: ><. It starts a little big, but gets smaller and smaller! We have to be more careful. More strict with the things we watch, our thoughts and actions to live according to the commandments. But in the end, we are smarter, we get a better job, we have a wonderful and healthy family, we don't have any addictions. We are happy and truly free. The path becomes much wider! So choose the straight and narrow because it will be larger at the end of the road! :)

Love Elder Moser
