| At the mission Christmas Party! Ho Ho Ho! |

| In Costa Rica, the new area! |
Greetings familia
It was nice talking to you!
Christmas day was definately one of the craziest days of my mission.
They called me at 2 telling me i was going to have special changes, and
that i had to be at the mission offices with all my stuff at 4. Thanks
to some awesome members that helped me pack and with a ride, i was able
to make it there on time to talk to you guys. After our skype call, i
came straight to my new area. I'm in Costa Rica!! (the city) It's right
outside of Culiacan. It's a really small town. There's only 4
missionaries here, being my district, and both areas are super insanely
small. It's a branch so there's not too much attendance, but i'm used to
that. So far i have really liked my area. We have about 4 or 5
pueblitos that belong to our branch as well but i still haven't visited a
single one. We have plans to go tomorrow.
My companion is Elder Knowles from springfield,
Utah. He has about 6 months in the mission and we get along great and
have a lot of things in common. I asked him if he knows Knowles in
Draper and he said he wasn't sure.. He doesn't have a lot of time here
in this area, actually, he and his companion that he had before i
arrived were opening the area and only had 1 week here so we are
basically starting from scratch. I love a good challenge! So far we've
met some really promising people that we're hoping to find and teach
this week.
Yesterday was epic. It rained ALL DAY. Normally this
wouldn't bother me, but our area has a total of 2 paved streets.
Luckily Elder Knowles also likes to hike so we had a good time getting
muddy the whole day. We get lost quite a bit since we still don't know
the area too well and have been walking quite a bit. For the first time i
was really happy to have my boots. Here, they don't sell oranges by the
pound, or by the kilo, but by the bucket!! We bought 2 buckets of
oranges for 30 pesos along with 4 kilos of bananas. I love Sinaloa!!
I hope you all behave yourselves and set inspired
goals for the new year! I'll only be setting goals for the first 6
months and worry about the rest later.. I love being a missionary, the
gospel, and all of you guys!! Happy new years!! Elder Mecham
