Being inside for 4 DAYS

Alright it has been an extremely uneventful week.  We have been inside for FOUR DAYS.   I'm not entirely sure whats going on and most of you probably know more than I do but the President of Nicaragua raised taxes on social security I believe and people started protesting and burning buildings.  The government is justifying bombing the protestors and its just been super bad. We could hear all the explosions at night but in Granada it was not as bad, it was much worse in Managua.  We finally got to go back to work yesterday and then we were sent back to our houses at 6.  So really we've just been studying ALOT.  One of our investigators Joel has come a long way since he started taking lessons from the missionaries.  He had an alcohol addiction but was able to commit to the word of wisdom, he had a baptism date for last Friday and  hadn't had alcohol for 2 weeks we were so excited for him and he was so excited to be baptized.  The day before his baptism we got a call from Joel telling us that he had broken the word of wisdom. He told us that this commitment was to hard for him and that we couldn't possibly understand what he was going through.  I was completely heart broken. he was right, my companion and I probably have no idea what he is feeling but that's the beauty of the Atonement and our Savior JesusChrist.  When it feels like there is utterly no one that could understand, there is always one who does. He is the reason we can overcome all sins, big or small.  He is always reaching out, waiting for us to turn to him and return to the straight and narrow path.  We had taught Joel about Jesus Christ and the Atonement several times but ultimately after we have done all we can do the investigator must come to know the truthfulness of the atonement for themselves and put their faith in Him.  

Also I had my first Nicaraguan "enchilada" here's a picture, it's amazing.
