Yeah I think here its hot or hotter... not entirely sure exactly but one can imagine.  Ive truly learned about more than going to the grandest parts of the world, if we dont have anyone to go with its not worth anything.  These last few weeks we have been hanging out with a guy who is from the states and he is a member from the church... however i dont think he is too active. His trip here to Nicaragua has been a interesting one, full of grand stories that truely show the Lord is in the hands of all His children.  He came to Managua and was completely lost in a corner street he decided to pray for direction and decided to go to the church (not knowing if there were even any) so he called a cab and said take me to the Mormon church.  Being many in the area the driver talked with his friend in the car and decided to take him to the church that we were at this day.  Because every Friday we have meetings from 10 to 12... but he obviously didn't know that.  After going there was a random gardner there who opened up the gate and everything after entering he came looking for someone to help him... thinking there wouldn't be anyone because no one speaks english (oh he doesn't speak spanish either)  He then found us missionaries in our meeting.  Afterwards we talked for a bit and got to know him and he explained his story and how he was there to see the sights... however he has got caught up in all the missionary work that he doesn't want to leave our area because he loves it!! He has explained his joy and happiness that he has received in this last little while with us.  Also explaining that his testimony has grown because of the spirit he feels in the lessons (he teaches with us... we translate) lol but he is a awesome guy and as he lost himself here in Nicaragua he has found the joy of the gospel... some trip to go out to a place to do some tourism but in the end finding missionaries and hanging out with them!! lol its awesome i love it so much!  Things are going very well here i think i have about contacted everyone... ok not really but im trying!  lol  As for my companion he is from Salvador which is just a jump and a skip from Nicaragua! He has taught me so much and right now we are the best of friends and we are planning on finding every single soul who is here for us and get them in that water!! lol we are truly filled with joy and happiness and I truely love him with all my heart! oh and yes I've gotten the package and yes i will get fat! lol  This time here has taught me so much and I cant even believe how fast it is going sometimes it scares me because I dont know how to even think it will be like to be normal! lol Probably not all the time doing what we do but when i get back I want to stay doing missionary work and helping friends and family learn about the gospel!! I have learned so much with Elder Palma and he is such a great missionary!! He has 19 months but im keeping him strong and we are going to have much success!! I can't even begin to explain the joy I have and will yet have!! lol the Lord truly is looking out for us and loves each and everyone one of us.  If we look to him we will find rest!  I know He lives and that He loves us that He will guide us and show us the way if we will only but follow him.  I love you so much and am super excited to hear how things go!! love you tons!!
