So I have about 30 minutes to email today
because we are in San Jose again. We had our one month meeting with President
and ate lunch at his house.
I wrote a list of things that I want to
email about again so I am just going to rapid fire these things and I hope that
nobody gets confused.
The other day for the first time I had
arroz con leche and that was so so so good. For my birthday I am asking for
arroz con leche.
Embarrassing moment of the week... so it
was raining (as usual) and it always floods in front of our house when it rains
and so we were walking home and it was dark and all of this sudden I was on my
rear end in the middle of this puddle of water that was more mud than anything
and Hermana Corrales pulls out her camera and starts taking pictures. Haha our
neighbors were having a party and everyone was outside. Awesome yeah! The worst
part was we weren’t even coming home for the night because it was only like
7ish but we just needed to grab something and then head to our next lesson so I
had to change super quick and then put my hair up and throw on a headband and
just go to our next 2 appointments covered in mud... but they sure did get a kick
out of the story and the photos.
Saturday night we had a huge miracle. We
were kind of lacking in the numbers area for the week that ends on Saturday and
then we were sitting there and we got a call from a man who we haven’t had a
lesson with and have only taught his wife once and he said that they know they
need to get baptized and married because they don’t know what else they can do
but they know that the gospel is the only thing that can help them in their
lives right now. So now they have a date to get married and baptized on wait
for it.. wait... OCTOBER 11th!!! You could say that I am more than a
little bit excited.
We also have a wedding and my first baptism
on Saturday and you could say I am excited. I love Miseal and I am so happy for
him so next week be expecting photos of that.
Today is dia del independencia and it is so
cool! This is not my home country but I feel a strange since of pride for Costa
Rica and I love this country and the people here so so much. Something cool is
that they have a torch that goes throughout all of Central America and
yesterday we were walking and we got to see the people in our area running with
the torch. Something cool is that Hermana Corrales' little brother got to run
with the torch in corranado where she is from. How awesome is that?
I promised more photos this week so I am
sending quite a ton. I am sending a photo of my zone and lots more.
Y'all are all so great and I love each and
every one of you so very much!
Love,
Hermana Gibson
