April 13th: Abril

Hola Famila,
There is some interesting news: in another area there was a problem, so my companion had an emergency change. He is now in Aguadulce, and my new companion is Elder Cruz from Mexico. We were called at 10:40 pm Thursday and we had to be at the place for changes the next day after lunch.
I am writing today because for some reason we had interviews (which usually occur once every change) with the mission President Madrigal yesterday instead of Tuesday...

I think this computer is faulty, so I might not get to send anything this week...(nevermind) but everything is going well with me. Elder Cruz seems to want to work hard, and I have good hopes for the area. I have been somewhat direting the area since I am the one with the experience in the area, and I feel we have already had some pretty spiritual experiences; for example, one of our lessons with an investigator went pretty well, and that visit was the first time she seemed to show interest and pay attention. Also, we were walking along and a boy of about 16 years told us to teach his cousin, so we did, and I feel that she in growing in interest.

The photos are of Thursday (before the call) where we celebrated Mama Nelis' (the owner of the missionaries' house in my area) birthday. She doesn't live there with her daughters but visits often, and they are all members... I will try to send a video next week.

Last Thursday was also Zone Conference, which was pretty cool. I understand ever better of tithing, especially for the less actives and investigators. The weather has been pretty warm, and apparently the raining season is beginning, for it has started to rain about once a week (since that video of the rain).

I don't know if the .gif file will work for you guys, but the clarìn is sent every month about missionaries' experiences and newcomers (including Hna. Ochs) and the missionaries that left (i left this second image out...)

So I hope everyone is praying and reading the scriptures daily.

I love you all, thanks for the support.
Until next week,
Love,
Elder Niendorf
