Musical Week

Good afternoon everyone! Hope all is well and you all are reading your scriptures! I'm writing this email super fast so let's get into it. Last pday was normal, we played soccer here at the church, ate lunch at a huge mall called Multiplaza and I went into a glasses store to see if they had some cheap blue light glasses because i'm at a computer most of the day. They told me I had to do a test first so I did it and they told me i'm pretty much blind and I needed to buy $400 glasses to see. I put on a pair that they said I needed and there was absolutely zero difference. So we basically just left. On Tuesday we had MLC which is always so much fun to see everyone and learn a ton about all of the leaders of our mission and learn how they work and how we can help the mission to improve and grow their testimonies of Jesus Christ. That night we ate pupusas at a member's house and I ate around 8 and was super sick the next morning. As for the work, we've given up on knocking doors for a bit and have started looking for part member families and have found a lot of success! I think it's been the best week we've had here in Escazu and the Lord was blessing us left and right, with bags of cookies, rides from members, lots of dinners, friends that are actually coming to church and baptism dates!! 

As for the subject of this email, we were buying a bunch of furniture for a new house and we were there for 2.5 hours, but they were blasting a bunch of 80´s rock so it was worth it. Also, most of the Ubers have been playing english songs which is always so fun. 

Thank you all for everything!

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...
