Elder Bronson,
You sound like you are excited to get here to Nicaragua!
Keep studying the language. In the beginning
you probably won't understand much, but that is NORMAL. Learn all you can now, practice and make
mistakes now. It will all help you when
you are here. Are you learning a lot in
Preach My Gospel? We use it extensively.
Nicaraguans speak quickly and drop the "s" in
their words. You will get the hang of it
after you are here a little while. Don't
worry too much.
As for the first day, each of you will need US $10 to enter
immigration at the airport. You won't
need to worry about money after that. We
will take care of your food and housing. Every missionary will get a debit card
with their monthly amount on it. It will
all be explained the first day at orientation.
The North mission does things a little differently than we
do. But all Nicaraguan Missionaries,
north and south, love their missions!
You arrive on Monday and have a day of orientation training
and an interview with the President. I
suggest that you pack the day before so you can get some sleep on Sunday before
the early ride to the airport. You will work with missionaries in Managua on
Tuesday and meet your companion on Weds
at the cambios (transfers) meeting.
You wear your suit coat to any meeting where the chapel has
air-conditioning (not all do) and you wear it to multizones and all interviews
with the President. By "wear"
I mean that you bring it with you and put it on when you arrive. It is too hot to wear it on the bus to get to
the meeting. The Assistants will go over
all of this at orientation. And feel
free to ask them any other question you may have.
We are excited to have you with us soon.
And I like that you are always working hard. That's the sign of a real Nicaragua Managua
Sur missionary!
Cuidase,
Hermana Russell
Just some news on what I will be doing in two weeks!
