Tipitapa – Week 61

[Week 8 in Tipitapa (La Bocana Area, Las Americas Zone), week 2 with Elder Alvarenga] Cayman sent another audio recording this week, and we haven’t yet transcribed it (and might not ever get to it), but he celebrated his birthday this past week.  He sent a note saying he’s no longer a teenager, but he...

Managua – Week 53

[Week 12 in Managua (Ruben Dario Area, Las Americas Zone), week 6 with Elder Davidson] Hey guys! So this was a pretty great week! We baptized James, the 12 year old son of two members but who were inactive before we met them. We had a pretty normal week, normal appointments and everything. We’ve been...

Managua – Week 51

[Week 10 in Managua (Ruben Dario Area, Las Americas Zone), week 4 with Elder Davidson] Again, Cayman sent an audio recording, but this one was very long and detailed, and he sent it to a large group of people, so we felt okay sharing here.  There are a few more pics as well!

Managua – Week 50

[Week 9 in Managua (Ruben Dario Area, Las Americas Zone), week 3 with Elder Davidson] Another week where Cayman sent an audio recording that we may or may not get time to transcribe.  A few more pics included, though.  Cayman is doing great.    

Managua – Week 49

[Week 8 in Managua (Ruben Dario Area, Las Americas Zone), week 2 with Elder Davidson] This week we only received an audio recording from Cayman.  We would love to transcribe them, but don’t know if we’ll ever get to it. Here are a couple of pictures, though:

Matagalpa – Week 26 – No Time

Matagalpa – Week 20

[Week 14 in Matagalpa, week 2 with Elder Reyes] Elder Williams wasn’t able to write this week due to a lot of mission travel, including a mission Christmas Party, and a conference for his greenie.  We are hoping to hear from him soon. We are also trying to coordinate when we get to Skype with...

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...

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...

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...
