Danger

Hey Family! This week was interesting and fast at times. 
Monday we just ate at some chicken place cause, our leaders said we couldn't go eat in the mall. Only once a change. They then went for the fifth time in the change so that's awesome leadership. I love them though.  We planned the Baptism agenda. We also taught a  family. 
Tuesday my companion contacted a less active after we had had a fallen appointment and started talking to the neighbors. We left to teach with the teenagers. 
Wednesday and Thursday I was in Carolingia on divisions with Elder Buchanan. 
Friday we filled the font and taught some converts about family history. 
Saturday we had a Baptism and taught the less active my companion found on Tuesday and her husband who isn't a member but has worked in thousands of Churches as a carpenter. 
Sunday we had some fams in Church and stuff. The week was good. I have no time. I love you all. 

Love, Elder White

Puppy Sacrament Meeting

This week was alright. I might have left my book in the house so I don't have all the stuff written out to write out for you guys, but we'll give it the best we can. 
Monday we went to eat and went shopping at Megapaca. It's just like a huge DI and half the stuff still has it's DI tags on it. Anyways I bought a sick jersey for four bucks so that will do me some good in the future. We also had a family night with the Diaz Family. They are too ready for their Baptism in three weeks. 
Tuesday we had zone counsel and it was better than usual. We also got way sick and just stayed home all day. Some members came over to give us blessings and all of that and we were dying. 
Wednesday was pretty much the same. We left for a little but my comp had to go back. I felt better this day. 
Thursday I was sick again. It was rough, but we got a little work in. We tried to do divisions, but it didn't work out and we ended up getting bailed on by both members. 
Friday we worked all day. We worked hard and had a few lessons with members. It's been harder getting the members to help out here in this ward then in the tiny branch of Monjas. But it's coming along. 
Saturday we worked. Sunday some families we weren't expecting came to Church so that's good. We also had a dog come into sacrament sit down and not move until it ended. He then got up and left. Weird huh. I almost counted him as an investigator, but I just couldn't.. haha. 

Love you guys. 

Love, Elder White

Econòmica

This week was chill I suppose. It's crazy that it's March. 
On Monday we had p-day. We didn't do anything. Just eat and chill in the house. 
Tuesday we did divisions. I was with Elder Anderson. Don't let the name fool you he's from the DR not the states. I was talking like a Dominican and he thought it was great. My kid taught me their slangs.  We saw a Sister from the ward buying bread and she waved at us. I felt like we should go back and chat. So we went back and asked how she was. She said she was good. We asked her if she was going home and she said yes so we went with her and she presented us to her neighbor. So that was solid. We also taught Ileana with the two returned missionaries in the ward that just got home. Ileana is a kid who is in the missions sister. She isn't a member, but she is awesome. We also taught the Diaz family that has dates for the 29th. They are too sick. 
Wednesday we cleaned our house with the DL and his comp. We should do that on p-day right? But my leader said to do it. So we did it. I can't argue with my leaders. We also taught the girlfriend of a less active brother. We then taught Elias. He got married to a sister in the ward and he's not a member. I invited him to get Baptized and he said yes! So that's cool. 
Thursday we had a sweet visit to ask for references. The brother told us that he had been praying for someone to stop by. He prayed about his neighbors. He then took us to one of their houses. They shut us down hard core, but he did his part.  We also taught a sister who's kid was murdered recently. The worst part is that she has to move so she doesn't get killed too. But we taught her about the Plan of Salvation. It was solid. 
Friday we did service cleaning up a lot in front of the house of a member family that helps us a ton. It was a good time. The newly returned Elder was telling us about the mish in Peru and how it's goals were way lower than ours, but it Baptizes more? Who knows what's up.  We then went with him to look for some less active young men cause, he's the young men's president.  We also put a date with a girl of our other date for the same day. So she'll get Baptized with her Mom!!! That's awesome. We had a family night with the Diaz Family and our mission leader and his family. It was solid. They are sick and offer to say the prayers and comment and also talk about their Baptisms and wedding n the 29th! So that's dirty. 
Saturday we tried to teach a members Dad. He knows the Church is true. But he is too stubborn to give up coffee. And he admits it. He's nice though. Some day. Dead or alive we'll Baptize him.  We also visited the Contrerras Family. The sister is getting Baptized on the 29th and they shall be married in the same date. Double wedding Baptisms! I'm down for the 29th. We also tried to put the date with Elias, but he wouldn't accept the date yet. 
Sunday we had four families in Church and all of the dates accept for one showed up. So that's solid.  We also had a great lesson with a Brother and his niece and her husband. When we left he shook our hands and with  tears in his eyes he  thanked us for helping him remember when he first heard the Gospel. This week was chill. I hope that this week is better. I've never had a bigger desire to give it all I can than I do right now. I love the Gospel and the power of the Atonement. I love my savior Jesus Christ and I love His Church. I love you all. Se cuidan muchà 

Love, 

Elder Nicholas David White

I missed you babe...I'm back

What up everyone. Yes my title refers to the capital. I'm back in the capital!! So that's cool. Yesterday was also the first time in nine months that I didn't bless or pass the sacrament. So that was even better. But I'm in the ward Economica in  the stake Milagro. So that's good. It's a ward that according to leaders is quote unquote "dying". But we are helping it out. This week was crazy. 
Monday I said bye to everyone out there in Monjas and Jutiapa and Jalapa and all that jazz. It's likely that I never return to any of those places. So that was sad. 
Tuesday we woke up and went to changes. That's where I got my new area and companion. I also saw some friends. My companion is Elder Villanueva from Nicaragua. He is cool. He has 3 months in the mish so that's tight. 
Wednesday we had a mini zone meeting thing. My zone is cool I guess. We also put some baptismal dates. 
Thursday we visited a part member family and put a fecha with the wife. They didn't go to Church however. So that's not working out like we wanted to, but it will be alright. Well get it back into motion. 
Friday we had some good lessons. We taught a niece of a member in their house and it was good. She said she wants to get baptized, but we have to find a time to talk to her Mom because, her Mom is doubtful. We also taught the Diaz Family, they have a date for the 29th of March. About the word of wisdom and they have no problems with it. So that's good. We also taught the husband of a less active sister in her house. They did go to Church on Sunday so that was cool. 
Sunday we had some solid Church time. We had nine investigators there so that was good. We also taught two brothers who are awesome. They couldn't go to Church yesterday for their work, but they are pilas. They are reading and studying and everything so we are going to get them into the font too we hope. In all the week was good. We have some great plans for March and we just need to be focused and plan them out well. La Carranza is awesome! There are more people in the street at all times than there are in the whole town of Monjas I think! So that's awesome. Love you all. The Church is true. 

Love, Elder Nicholas White 
P.S. oh yeah my kids did divisions together this week. So that is cool. 
Loves.
