This week went pretty well. First of all, i´m still
here in Costa Rica, there were hardly any changes. Elder Lopez and i are
still together. It turns out that the missionaries that were going to
arrive from out of country are waiting for their visas so chances are
that as soon as they arrive we´ll be having special changes and it will
probably affect a lot of missionaries since a lot are going to arrive.
This week was a little bit different. I hardly
worked with Elder Lopez. He went to Culiacan for a training seminary
from wednesday till saturday. I stayed here in Costa Rica and worked
with Elder Clark. He is fresh in the mission, has about 2 weeks, so i
got to be daddy for 4 days!! It was pretty fun, kind of maid me want to
have a kid, but i´m feeling a little old.. Normally they put the
missionaries with less than 1 year to train so that they learn faster.
We had a great week as far as the work goes. We have
slowly been leaving several investigadores that we had. It´s always a
little tough to make the decision to leave investigadors. There´s
several reasons; we develop relationships with them, we get to know them
really well, and the truth is that nobody likes to look for new
investigadors. It means walking in the sun, talking with the whole world
and being rejected several times every hour, and harder work. It´s much
more enjoyable to be teaching. I LOVE teaching. But we knew that our
investigadors were´nt going to progress. When you know that, and you
keep teaching them, you´re waisting the Lord´s time. We took the
decision to leave several people, and as a result we have found a TON of
new people. We had a couple days of searching almost all day long, but
we know have several new investigadors, aswell as a super long list of
references and contacts that we need to look for.
One of the people we found is names C. He´s a
teenager and is awesome. He went to church on Sunday!! He´s super
excited. S went to church as well and payed her tithing!! She has
as date to get baptised this Saturday. We´re hoping that everything
turns out great. Pray for us!!
I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week. Love Elder Mecham
