Hey All!
I figure I don't have to write much since I am sending more photo's than usual. In the collection are pictures from today's adventure to the lake, the national palace, and the cathedral in Managua, as well as the White Missionaries Watching Conference in English party. The conference was broadcast from a stake-center sized chapel here in Sandino. Of the 12 missionaries that attended, 7 were American and we were able to watch conference in English in one of the classrooms. We ate food the whole time. It was a party.
So, I know I've talked about them before, but I'll continue to give the run-down each time I talk about an investigator to jog your guys' memories. We have been teaching Cecilia and her daughter Flavia for about a month now. They have been to church twice and received all of the lessons, but have been afraid to accept baptism. We've been spending a lot of time at their house trying to resolve whatever doubts or fears they might have so that they can receive this blessing. We challenged them to bring whatever questions or doubts they might have to conference and see if by the voice of the prophets or by the voice of the Holy Ghost they wouldn't receive their answers. They attended two sessions of conference and said they know that the speakers were speaking with the power of God. While they never told us what questions they brought to the conference, they did say that they did indeed find answers to all of them. Crazy how that works! I thought that was surely enough for them to accept baptism, yet only the daughter Flavia said she feels she should be baptized. Cecilia is still afraid of something, though she said that if Flavia was having a baptismal interview this Thursday, she might as well have one, too. I'm hoping and praying that she can conquer this fear so that she can be baptized along with Flavia this weekend. Nevertheless, I can see an incredible increase in their testimonies after viewing the prophets speak, and to me, that alone is a miracle.
Love you all!
