This week has been full of
surprises. Today is a Holiday here in Nicaragua and as sisters we were
given permission not to work today because it's not safe. It's some
holiday that the Catholics celebrate about the Virgin Mary. So many
fireworks were going off last night it was a little hard to sleep.
I
have gained a testimony about the hymns of the church and also of
Fasting and Prayer. So here in Nicaragua we're allowed to drink Coca Cola
and one day I realized that I was relying on it too much. So I decided
to fast from it for a week and only drink it when given to me by
members. This last week I haven't drank any Coca Cola! Poor Hermana
Greenhalgh, because when the members gave me coke she drank hers and mine
to help me with my fast! Thank you Hermana Greenhalgh!! But because of
this fast I saw so many miracles happen and finally I broke one of the
walls of Spanish and I have been able to understand people twice as
better and talk twice as good! I'm so happy!
The
hymns have been a source of comfort and joy for me here in Nicaragua,
even though I can't understand the words being said, it beings me joy and
peace just to hear them. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
