We Got A Greenie

How's everyone doing today? Hope all is well! 
This week's been good! On monday, one of our Zone leaders left that week, so we filled up a bunch of water baloons and had a little battle outside then played a bit of soccer as usual. We found a golden family after that we are super excited for! 
And transfers! Im staying here in Filidelfia. Elder Blackwell and I are training a greenie!! We've been in San Jose most of the week getting the new missionary but got back and been working hard! The greenie is named Elder Barrios and is from Guatemala. I had no idea I'd be training, but here we are, and I know God is going to bless us for our work. Being in a trio is different, but honestly, it is a lot of fun. 

Love you all

Last P-Day In Mexico City

Image
6 more days until Costa Rica. We got to do endowments and a sealing session today at the temple, we were there for a while but it was super spiritual.  Last weeked was the celebration of independence for Mexico and it was a party all weekend. We had a mariachi band during dinner. They fill egg shells with sparkles and some with flower and you throw them, and they explode and make a bit of a mess, but it's still fun. There were lots of fireworks all night long throughout the city. One of the Elders in my house brought Janga, and after our nightly house devotionals, we have had some super intense games of Janga. For instance, one night, we had around 8 people, and we were so into it, we took 5 minutes each turn trying not to knock the stack over. Not a whole lot to go into on this email now but I'm sure my next email will be in Costa Rica and I will have lots more to talk about. It's hard to not count down the days until I'm out in the field.   The 3rd picture isn't f...

Heredia Week 11

Image
Hey everyone! Here’s a quick update on my week! Monday was pretty normal—everyone did their own thing, so we went to the church to play soccer and basketball by ourselves. Later, we had a lesson with our friend Reynel. Tuesday was pretty uneventful. We had district council and then spent the rest of the day contacting. Wednesday I had my final interview with President Maddux. He gave me a lot of awesome advice for life after the mission. For lunch, we had Caribbean rice and beans before sitting through a 5-hour training with the assistants to the president. We got Papa John’s afterward, which was a nice treat. Thursday we were trying to make up for the time we lost in interviews and the training. Lots and lots of finding. The highlight was definitely putting a baptismal date with Reynel! Friday we visited a referral’s house and ended up teaching a bunch of different things. They even gave us lunch, which was super nice. After that, we did more finding until our mission coordination mee...

Still In Costa Rica

Image
How's everyone doing? Costa Rica is still good. Last P-day I ate an entire Little Caesars pizza and half of a 2 liter Coke. Why? I honestly don't know. Just kind of did it and then went and played some basketball. And you can probably guess how that went. We get a lot of opportunities to help some of the kids that we are teaching with their English homework. It goes ok but I realize that I can't teach English very well. It's been pretty hard contacting and finding new people but we keep knocking doors and keep trying. Discouraging but there's not much I can do to make people listen or take a Book of Mormon so I don't worry too much. We have a lot of references that we've contacted so we will see how that goes. But we do have a baptism date coming up soon. Food is still super delicious. Recently I tried some Cas drink. " Cas fruits have an astringent, tart, and sour flavor mixed with a subtle sweetness, reminiscent of a grapefruit crossed with...
