This week went fairly well although we lost a bunch of time due to sickness. Elder Galo had some parasitic infection that prevented us from leaving the house for several days and then I got sick yesterday, which is why I'm sending this out late.
On Monday we had an activity for el dia de las madres which was super fun. There was a ton of food, dancing, and we played el amigo secreto, which is a gift exchange. Everyone had fun and a few people showed up that we hadn't seen in a while.
The middlle of the week we spent in the house. I don't remember which days exactly it was.
Saturday we had the baptism of Anna who is the sister of a recent convert, Yelson. She is super awesome and on sunday she bore one of the best testimonies. A few of the members here always tell the exact same elaborate story, that may or may not be exaggerated, when they are asked to bear their testimonies, so we are going to have to clarify what we mean by testimony, but Annas testimony was simple and from the heart. One of the senior couples in the mission also visited us on saturday and sunday which was way nice to have them here to meet with the members and also they took us out to dinner which was great.
Sunday it rained super hard all morning, so we were pretty worried that hardly anyone was going to show up to church, but a ton of investigators showed up. I don't know why we continue to doubt because things always work ouy and we are constantly seeing miracles here in Somoto.
Thats about all for this week. We are still short of establishing a branch in Somoto because we don't have enough faithfull Melchizedek priesthood holders to serve as the branch leaders.
