Matagalpa – Week 10

[Week 4 in Matagalpa] So this week was pretty good! Again, I don’t have much time but I’ll try to share the biggest things of this week. On Tuesday we had a Reunion de Nuevos in Managua so we had to take a bus at 5 in the morning to get there on time which...

Matagalpa – Week 9

[Week 3 in Matagalpa] Sorry everyone that I haven’t been sending weekly emails recently. It’s just hard because there’s no time on P-days to get everything done! the first weeks have been good but its definitely been a really difficult adjustment. I’m serving in the Matagalpa zone and my area is a barrio called Guanuca....

Matagalpa – Week 8

[Week 2 in Matagalpa] [Note from Mom and Dad:  Today is Cayman’s Birthday, and he got to spend it on a P-day.  He even told us that he was going to splurge and eat at Subway because it was his birthday (pictures included).] This week has been better I think. Everyday still feels like the same...

Matagalpa – Week 7

[Week 1 in Matagalpa] I don’t know exactly what the area is called that I’m living in. Its near Guanuca and its called Molinda Apartments next to a huge cathedral. Addresses are completely ridiculous here. Streets do not have names and the address is just based on how many blocks away something is from a landmark. There’s...

Picture from the President – Week 6.5

[This is a post from Mom and Dad] We just received a picture from the mission office, and thought we would post it right away.  This is of Elder Williams and his Companion (trainer), Elder Alofipo, with President and Hermana Poncio (the mission president and his wife).  So great to get the first picture of...

Matagalpa – Week 6

Hola de Nicaragua Hey mom and dad! I’m writing this from a “cyber” in Matagalpa. My first area is called Guanuca 2 and it’s in the city of Matagalpa, which is in the mountains so it’s not quite as hot (it’s still super hot, so I really hope I never have to go to Chinadega,...

Travel to Nicaragua – Week 5.5

[This post is from Mom and Dad] Cayman is travelling to Nicaragua today from the Provo MTC.  He woke up very early and left the MTC around 4:00 AM.  We had sent him a disposable cell phone on another missionary parent’s recommendation as Cayman had received word that he was allowed to call home during...

MTC – Week 5 (Last Week in the MTC)

Hey Everyone! I got my flight plans last Friday! I’m leaving at 3:30 Monday morning (Yeah, 3:30 AM) and I’ll be in Nicaragua by 8:30 PM that night! Pretty insane! This last week was pretty good! Everyone on my floor is sick right now because the MTC is a cesspool of germs and sickness but...

MTC – Week 4

Hey everyone! Well this week has felt like it went by really fast, only two weeks to go before I’ll be in the 96 degree rainstorms of Nicaragua! So this is a little weird but my comp and I can’t see what Nicaragua is like because we only have access to lds.org. So we wanted...

MTC – Week 3

[Note: Today is Hump Day for Cayman in the MTC…he’s halfway done] Can’t believe it has already been a week! I’ve pretty much been doing the same stuff, 12 hours (typo in the last message…) in a classroom. The devotionals have been fun though! On Sunday we had a band come and we had a...
