 This week. was so long. haha trying to get my mind refocused. and today the zl called and said we can go to the temple wed! haha for my first time. but p day is changed to wed. so still working. haha they said we couldnt write our families today. but they called at like 3 and said.. yeah. go write your families. i guess all the moms would get worried. hahahah =D mom jokes. haha still funny. =D even here in costa rica. but only in english... in spanish its super bad. haha well. not for ticos. haha but for mexicans and guatimaltecos. yeah. dont do that. 

 but good week. family week her ein costa rica! haha had activities all week. no one really came. but i planned a super good family history activity. where they do the work. than act it out. like some die. and go to the spirit prison. and than to the temple where they see me in the baptismal font with the one person from the group and we do the work. than they receive keys to enter into spirit paradise. =D haha it was so cool. prison. had a thousand chairs upside down in the dark so it looked creepy. the temple was super dark with only the light from the font. super beautiful. and in spirit paradise we had treats and everyone meet together there. cause we separated them in groups. haha it was awesome. =D 

 so we finally had a baptism! haha her name is Luz Marina Acebedo. i met her when i got here. and she finally was ready this week. =D she is so awesome! 

 Juan the ancient man. well. he doesnt want to be baptized cause of his girlfriend. haha he is 91 remember that she is 30 something. haha cause if he gets baptized. he wont receive food from the catholic church and he gives that to her. but he just wont change. and i think we are going to give up on him. so im sad. but yeah. 

 This week met a guy who has a mental disorder. he is super cool and wants to be baptized. i think he will be baptized we just need to make sure he can understand what he is doing. we think its ok to do it. bishop said so too. so super excited about that. one cool thing about him his name is jose. haha just like everyone. but he can write like sentences... but he cant read... hhaha if you ask him to read what he just wrote. he can.t. it doesnt make sense to me either. but its true. haha i saw it. haha what. 

 so yeah. this week was kinda hard. fights with my comp. struggling physically. i just want to sleep well one night. or not be sick. haha but its been good. next week is changes. so we will see if im still here . super nervous. haha i love you all. im so thankful to be here in the mission. i love it. its going by so fast. i feel like im just holding on to a rocket. haha its crazy. i love it here. when its hard. god helps me more. and that is one thing i just love about the mission. im never alone. if i struggle with my comp. it doesnt matter i can turn to christ and he will help me. 

 things are getting better with my comp. he is the best i love him so much. we fight a little. but it doesnt matter. we are best friends. and we will continue serving the lord together. for this week... =P that we know of. i love the gospel. i have seen the change it has in people. its a blessing. thats all it is. if its hard its cause we have to work a little more to receive the next blessing god has for us.
