Answers To Prayers

Good afternoon everyone! Hope everything is going well and you are always reading your scriptures! This week let's start off with a spiritual thought! 
Alma 37:44-45," For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land."
45: " And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shal the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise." 
I love these scriptures and we share them a lot! If we give heed to the word of Christ, which we find many times in the scriptures, will point us directly to eternal bliss and to the promised land. If we are ever in a vale of sorrow, the words of Christ will lead us out and to the promised land! 

Getting into what happened this week, last pday we played soccer here at the chapel. After pday we got by the temple because one of the landlady was going crazy because the elders that are renting her apartment were making a ton of noise at night. When we got there she sat us down in her family room with her family, it looked a lot like a family home evening to be honest. We got everything solved though! We got to see the temple as well which was awesome! We have been praying a lot for a few of our friends who live far away to find a way to get to church and they came to church yesterday! We were so excited! 

Pura vida,

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...
