I left my planner at home so i don't have any of my list to tell you about things this week. so. ima wing it.
well this week. was long. haha and kinda boring. but! i went on divisions with a member of the ward. he is a recent convert. we are working with him too. but he showed me his family. i taught them by myself. and got 3 people to commit to baptism. the 22 de marzo. haha im so excited. i did it myself first lesson. haha it was kinda hard. cause i can really understand people. but i can talk. and i can say what i need to. and i have the spirit. that's all anyone really needs. hahaha.
so my birthday was yesterday. it was good. i guess. i got to be a witness for the baptism of the hermanas in our ward. they baptized an amazing family. just ready for the gospel. haha it was super cool. so yeah. church we had 8 investigators. what!? new record i believe so that was good. but remember marticruz. the amazing and wonderful lady i baptizied. well she hasnt been comfirmed yet. we are trying everything. we dont know what is wrong. or what went wrong. we think its her family. they are very anti us. so working on that...
uh after we went back and my companion told me to eat. so i did. i ate a ton. cause i was starving. and as we were leaving he said. well. we have a meeting with lunch. they will feed us. i was like. why would you tell me to eat!?! i was so frustrated. so we went to the richest place ive ever been here. and they fed us amazing food. pasta and cheesecake. i dont like either. and a lot of both. so i felt so horribly sick after. but the father was from new york and speaks english only english. which is good. but he married a tico. and she speaks only spanish. so yeah. that was... wierd.
our next cita was with carlos (a dry member) he is an amazing dad. and spouse i look up to him so much. but they wont get married for the law. so they cant be baptized. so workign on that. but they are my greatest friends. he just laughs at everything he is like a brown brother johnson. haha with hair. and alot of it. hahah i think i love him so much cause he is so much like brother johnson. works alot. great dad. super jacked. and just has a good attitude about life. someone tell that man to email me. i miss him. hahaha anyway... yeah. so they made me food for my birhtday too... so we took it to go. i think we offended them. but im going to write them a letter. i really just was going pale i hurt so bad. i was so sick. so all night we just slept cause my comp got sick from the food. so i was full. and sick. over full. my first time in the mission. that was horrible. normally we dont eat here so that was just like what.
so yeah. than at 8 we went to the chapel to eat cake with the hermanas. i have pictures but i cant send from here. so im sorry about that. i dont have anything with me. ill explain. and my comp wouldnt even sit at the same table. he is a pain. this week he said. I hate it when you ask me spanish questions. or when you are homesick. or when you talk about brooke. i almost lost it. i went home and just worked out for about an hour. i give up on him. lets just work. thats my attitude. i cant wait for one mroe change. hahaha
so yeah. this is the last week in my first change. what!? time. flys. haha
so today. for p day. we went up the mountain to this cave. and it was like a shower in it. it was soo cool. than me and elder price. went up the mountain. he is so cool he goes home next week. and we just sat on top the mountain taking in the view. he said. what a good way to end the mission. i said. what a good way to start it.
what an inspiration he is. this country is. and this mission is. without it. i dont know where id be. the person id be becoming. but i know this is for me. as hard. as complicated. as terrible at times. i sit down with one person. or i make one person laugh. and its worth it. i touch hearts everyday. people here ask me. what about when you leave. than what. we will be friends for the eternities. the wife of the bishop doesn't speak much spanish and she is in charge of so many things. well one is chior. and its so hard cause no one comes. or sings. so she was crying last week. i told her last week. id help her to prepare a song for Easter. i translated it. and i help lead. this week we had 20 people come. she is amazing. and i know that im here to bless the people. ive always been able to sing. not great but i can. and i know that with this talent. even this small one. i need to use to grow. and develop it. i cant hide it. god gave it to me. i read the parable of the talents. and if you haven't read it. go read it. ill give you the reference next week. but it was like. god said to me. use it. develop all your talents. i sang a solo in church this week. i was so nervous and it wasn't so great. but i did it. and i felt amazing. cause i am sharing all that i have.
i love it here. i love how humble people are. and how much they just want to come unto Christ. they have it so hard here. we have it so easy. so i challenge you all today. to smile at someone you pass today. just say good morning or good evening. cause maybe that's all they need.
share what you have use what you have. and kaylyn good job. keep up the good work. dancing and doing hair. your beautiful babe! haha i miss you . just so you know. i am writing you a letter for you birthday so i dont know how long it takes to get there. so you might have to not open it for a while. but keep sharing your talents and if you feel sad or like maybe you are having problems with your friends. see who you can serve. for me. its hard with my companion. it is. but i keep serving him. and i do with a glad heart. and i love it. it makes me feel so much better inside. by the way. here in costa rica. cake. is queque. so yeah. thats your new name. write it somewhere and hang it up in your room. so you can remember me. Queque i love you!
Love you all. write you next week. love your son. friend. and favorite missionary.
