The time has finally come for our Spanish District Convention! We have started the invitation campaign but we are doing things a little different here...
But before we get to that - I am pretty sure that you cannot guess what animal I chased through downtown Esteli this afternoon.
Yup - an Elephant! Two, in fact. And, the truck in front was full of camels! Nicaragua never ceases to amaze me.
Esteli also has
un monton of foreigners. Look at that beautiful crowd!

Back to our everyday and extraordinary routine - the ministry - our convention campaign started today! I am so excited. However, we cannot just leave them everywhere, we have very few invitations for the number of people in our territory. A city of 100, 000... 5 congregations (approximately 20, 000 per congregation?) and we have 3000 invitations. So we are being very judicious as to who actually receives a physical invitation. Our presentation is much longer here though, with scriptures and in many cases we basically read the whole invitation with them.

The country is so receptive - it might be because the countries ragged history is so fresh
Translation:
Partners: (Comrades, countrymen)
Mery and Filipe. Don't lose the value of the life you have been given, day after day as they build a new Nicaragua , building God's kingdom and his justice. We follow their example.
