Well it your busy friendly neighborhood
Elder Hironaka.
I would like to start by saying I’m very sorry that I have not
been able to write that much these last couple of weeks. I really am sorry. I
want to say that I really do live on your guys letters and I love reading them
and seeing how everyone is doing. I have a lot to talk about. In this past two
weeks I have had a presentation that I made, been in a couple of earth quakes,
found a couple of awesome families, had problems with my companion being sick,
stake conference, working with other missionaries, hair cut, had a convert
Died, and just a lot of other things.
So lets start with investigators. So, I have
really started looking for awesome families. Well I found 2 great families. One
family, is family Luz (LIGHT). They are super awesome we found them and they
kindly let us in and we taught about how the family can be forever and how the
gospel could help them be an eternal family. They really liked the message and
they came to church with us. Jenner, Luz, Luznadi, and Jennersito all are
preparing now to be baptized for the 29 of Aug.!!! It has been awesome teaching
them and seeing how they are progressing. Pray for them please to be
baptized!!! Ok so our other family we’re teaching, who also came to stake
conference this week is the Penalba family. This is a story that is awesome. Ok
so in my zone there is a guy named Elder Penalba. He is from the states and has
never talked really to his Dad’s side of the family. It turns out that his Dad
was born here in Nicaragua and when he was 18 he left for the states and never
came back. He was baptized in the states and got married. It was awesome for
his Dad when he found out his son’s call was to Nicaragua. Anyway, I have been
working in an area, a little richer and we cane across the Aunt of Elder
Penalba’s. It was crazy she looked just like Elder Penalba. She invited us in
as well and we talked with the whole family (6 people). They liked the message
and I invited them to church. They knew that they had a missionary of their
family here but did not know what part and what he really looked like. Turns
out that this week was stake conference and without any of them knowing they
all were in the same stake conference!! The face of Elder Penalba when he saw them
was super awesome and unforgettable. I’m going to work my hardest to bring them
to the waters of baptism and to have Elder Penalba baptize his family=)
(I also had permission to bring them to church when Elder Penalba was
there) (no soy frito) COOL STORY RIGHT!!!!!
OK well Presentation went really good!! My
zone has done outstanding. It’s great to see the results of hard work. My goal
for my zone for this month is high but I know that we can complete it. I really
love it here in Las Palmas and the zone Managua. Its super city like I told you
guys but it’s still really fun and has its ups and downs like every area. For
example here a lot of people work so it’s hard to find the person and teach but
the up side is that the people here are a little more trustworthy and will do
what you ask them to do.
Well other thing that has happened in this
last couple of weeks is the earth quakes. Yeah they’re different but don’t
worry they have not been strong. I do have to say an earthquake does hurt your
head and gives you headaches. DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME THOUGH IM OK!!! Last
year they had really hard earthquakes!!!! Don’t worry nothing bad has happened
and I know nothing bad is going to happen?
OK I’m not going to lie a lot of people are
getting sick here. Elder Kliener bit the dust pretty hard this last week and
was in the hospital for 3 days with viruses of some type. As well my companion,
he was a super sick and we found out that he had a super weird sickness but it
went away in 3 days. Don’t worry I think about the blessing that President
Lines gave me all the time and know that I’m going to be ok and protected from
these sicknesses!!!
Well another sad story in the mission is
that one of my converts died=(I baptized an older lady with Elder Kliener. Her
name was Marta. I will always remember her great testimony and I know that she
will be ok and will enter into the kingdom of Our Heavenly Father.
Hair cuts;( well sad, so, I sat down to get
my haircut. Well, they did a really bad
job. So, I look pretty bad but what don’t worry in two weeks it will be long
again.
It’s awesome to see Tyler with braces as
well, hah, it’s cool bro! Rock the grills for a little bit.=)
Questions that I have!!!!!!!

Q Have you seen meet the Mormons?
Q Are you ready for school?
I LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS
LOVE, YOUR ELDER, Elder Hironaka;)
