Hey everyone!
Good week. We taught a lot and found a few new
investigadors. I´ve enjoyed being here in Costa Rica. I have a really
small district, unlike my district in Culiacan, so i´ve been able to
focus 100 percent of my time here in our area. This is the last week of
this change, i almost can´t believe it. We shouldn´t have changes
because after this change we´re going to have a mini 3 week change while
waiting for the load of new missionaries that should be arriving from
the MTC.
We are working a lot with an investigador named B. He´s awesome,
he´s somebody i could definately be friends with after the mission, even
though he´s 40 years old. He looks after his mom, who´s missing a leg,
so he doesn´t work. His mom doesn´t really want to listen to us anymore.
A, the old man who wants to get baptised, got
really sick in the past week and wasn´t able to attend church. We´re
going to pray for him so that he can get better and get baptised!
One of my highlights of the week was when i received a call from
Elder Roman, who´s still in Mazatlan. He told me that 3 of the people we
were teaching got baptised! First was hna S. She is the one that
couldn´t get baptised beforehand because she was living with her x
husband. I wasn´t surprised when he told me
that, i always knew she would do it as soon as it was possible. What
really surprised me was that this last Saturday her x husband got
baptised! We taught him almost every time we taught hna S and i
honestly didn´t have much faith in him. However, little be little i saw him
change. When i left the area he shared told me how much he had
appreciated our visits and that he would never forget the things he felt
and learned. I still didn´t think he´d be getting baptised any time
soon, but that shows that the Gospel literally changes lives. It helps
people leave drugs, it helps people get out of debt, it brings families
closer together, and i´m glad to be the tool by which people are hearing
it. The third person is R, the Dentist that had been listening to
the missionaries for 30 years. I almost cried when he told me that. I had
so much respect for her and wanted SO bad that she joined the church.
Í´m glad that she finally made the decision.
Thanks for everything you guys do! I´ll let you know what happens
with the changes. I love being a missionary and i love the gospel. Love
you all!!
