Hey!! It's your
friendly neighborhood Elder! This week was a good week and was a little less
stressful than others. This week we went out to Carazo, Masaya, and enjoyed New
Years!!
So made my first
trip out to Carazo like I was saying. Carazo is really cool and is very
beautiful. The areas can be a little more difficult because they are huge and
at times it is hard to get people to come to church. I really enjoyed one part
of the zone because it was cold!! Yes, the weather is chilly there. It's a
favorite work area for that reason as well, haha. The cool thing I liked seeing
there was the pineapple fields. There were a ton of pineapples in Carazo and
they were very sweet!!
We also paid a visit
to Masaya this week to check on how everything is going there. Masaya really
has great missionaries and members. Before we left, we were able to grab an
awesome lunch on a lookout point over the lake. It's my favorite place to eat
here. When we come back as a family it would be great to explore one day.
New Years was
awesome!!! So here like in America everyone does fireworks. But here, the
fireworks are more like bombs, but they are fun to see. At our house we
talked about fun New Year traditions our families do. It was a really a fun
time.
So there are 4
secretaries who live with us. Elder Wagstaff, Elder Jungers, Elder Weyand, and
Elder Lim. This week I'm going to focus more on Elder Wagstaff. He is
awesome at his job being a secretary. He is from Utah and is very similar to
Dallin, as he loves to skateboard, snowboard, and was on the track team. His
personality is really funny and is someone you always like having around.
A part from all that
good stuff that was kind of my week, haha.
I would like to put
some time a side this week to speak about my Grandpa Tucker. My Grandpa Tucker
was such an extraordinary man. He was a great role model and leader in my
eyes. I'm extremely honored to be his one of his grandchildren. I always had a
great feeling looking up to the stands from the football field knowing my
Grandpa was there, cheering me on. I constantly enjoyed hearing his stories of him
playing baseball, working at a young age, and when he was in the army. Some
great memories I will never forget were spent with Grandpa. I remember in 6th
grade when he was trying to teach me a fade-a-way in basketball, watching
movies with him on the floor with his big pillows, and don't even get me
started on his BBQ. There was always something to do with Grandpa. A fond
memory I have is when Grandpa and Grandma had 3 colorful ducks. I remember
having such a blast with them.
As I have been able
to serve Our Loving Heavenly Father I have come to develop a stronger testimony
that families can be together forever. For this short period of time we have
here on this earth we might not be able to enjoy always being with our family.
However, the plan of Our Father In Heaven is to be one with another in the life
to come and for eternity. In this life Grandpa Tucker will live on
through his children and grandchildren playing pool basketball, mixing our ice
cream up real good with chocolate syrup, and when we all try to make the yard
look as nice as he did. I look forward to the day when I can give him a big hug
again. I know and I'm grateful that through our loving brother Jesus Christ we
will be together forever.
I sure loved my good
old Grandpa!
Anyway, I love you
Mom very much. I want you to know that Grandpa is happier than ever and that he
is very very proud of you, as I am.
I love you all, be
safe, talk to you guys later!!!
Love Elder Hironaka
