So I don't actually have a lot to say this week and this week I have way
more time than usual because I actually get to have my full hour and a
half.
I don’t actually have very many photos to share either because we stayed
in the rough parts of our area most of the week so we don't take anything of
value with us.
I want to share an awesome experience that we had a few days ago. We went
to visit Karen and her family and we asked Karen how she felt at church on
Sunday and she said that she has never felt anything like that before. It was
seriously so amazing.
At church yesterday we had 126 people! The chapel was so full that the
missionaries sat outside the chapel with the doors open so we could hear but it
was raining so hard that we couldn’t actually hear anything. Ha-ha
Today we are in San Jóse for PDay because our zone (the best zone in my
opinion) did super well last month so Hna Wilkinson made us breakfast this
morning and we have permission to go to whatever part of San Jóse... except for
my companion and I. We can’t go to corranado because she is from corranado so
she can't go close to her house.
So we went to this place called Price Mart. It is like sams club... it
basically is sams club. There are so many things there that I want to buy but I
cant because it would not be good by the time we get back to Guácimo. I mean
food. I did however buy a HUGE box of goldfish! I am super excited! The food we
have is super unhealthy for you. The only thing we ever eat is carbs and meat.
Literally... Oh and banano.
We eat so much of it too. The people in our area don't know how to show
their love in any other way than by feeding us. Yesterday we had 4 appointments
with food and at each on of them I ate more than I would in any normal day in
total. I love the people here but I have gained more weight than I care to
know.
The other day Kevin, one of our investigators asked me to pray in English
so I did... it was so so so HARD! I kept stumbling over my words because I literally
have not said a prayer in English in more than 8 weeks. Ha-ha I kept having to
stop to process what I was going to say next. Even a few words still came out
in Spanish. Oops
I wish I had a photo to send this week so I will just send one or 2 from
the weeks past. If I have already sent it please forgive me. I don’t really
know what I send. Ha-ha
Anyhow, I love Costa Rica. I love the people. I love my mission. I love my
companion. I love everything about this work. I know for sure that this gospel
is true and I know for sure that this is where I am supposed to be. I am incredibly
blessed to be a part of this great work. I didn't understand what people meant
when they talked about their missions and how special it is but I don't think
that you can understand until you feel it for yourself. It is a special
experience that I would not trade for anything.
Never forget that I love y'all and the Heavenly Father loves each and
every single one of you.
Well I was going to send some old photos but I actually cant because the
computer I am at does not work with external devices. How sad. I will be in a
our normal place and I know for sure that the computers there work and I will
have more photos to send.
Love y'all!
