Monday night after i emailed, we went and had FHE with an investigator, we made cornflake things which is just cornflakes with sweeten condesed milk and butter, make it. its delish. then every tuesday we meet with the bishop and talk about our progress. we rock, dont worry. the bishop is really proud of our area and all our hard work and how well we work together with the elders. we have investigators every week at church, and have at least 1 baptism every saturday. they like us. haha us gringos.
On wednesdays we have district meetings, which are always fun... i guess... but everybody else in the district is having troubles with getting people to sacrament meeting, so we had a whole lesson on that, so hopefully that helped with the others. our district leader was our pretend investigator and was like I dont think ya'll have a problem getting people to church cause you are so persuasive. ha yeah, we know, thats why we dont have a problem. duh. nah its real good, the whole mission is really getting good numbers...
Our cook for lunch can't feed us any more becuase she needs back surgery so I'm sure we will have a fun time finding another one. but that means i dont have to eat rice and freakin beans every day for a while... I hope. I'm honestly so sick everytime I eat something... but then after, I have to eat something better so I dont feel sick, so I eat cereal. imagine that. I FOUND PEANUT BUTTER CAPN CRUNCH. its gross here, but I guess it will do...
anywayysssss. soooo our native comp is ALWAYS late to EVERYTHING. so it reallllyyyy ticks every body off. so on Saturday for Juans baptism, we were going to show up at 2 30 to get everything set up so she called the mission leader for the ward and the elders. we didnt get there till 3 30... and you know how much i LOVE being late..... so they were all like yelling at her, and I'm like I dont know anything, so they didn't yell at me.. she never tells us anything, so we get in trouble and so its really annoying...
On Thursday, we had a little misunderstanding with our trainer and so shes just bawling her eyes out, our trainer calls like everybody she knows and crys to them about it, so one day our zone leader shows up and gives us a nice little lesson about working together. I was like, ok please you only know half of the story, and your a boy so you dont even know whats going down. but whatever, i think it worked for our trainer. God has a sense of humor putting me with her as one of my first comps. there will be more to come, I'm sure of it. Hermana Tippetts is me, in a gymnast body. hahaha she is the best, once we get home, we are gonna do a ton of stuff dont worry, you will love her!!!
We had to go to San Jose once last week cause the sister training leaders thought it would be cool to have a 30 min meeting with all of us about something I didnt understand. so we ride a bus for 2 hours, sit, then ride a bus home for 3 hours. hhahaha ill get over it.
Soo the baptism was FREAKIN awesome. Juan has such a strong testimony, and he is the coolest kid I know here. I love him. he reminds me of Cooper. and looks kinda like him too, its funny.
its soo funny here when people try and speak english, they yell at you. GOOD NIGHT. or, BYE BYE. HALOO. hahhahaha GOOD MORNING. 3 tree. hahaha they all know english cause they listen to english music, like 1 direction and t swift and all those others, but they dont know they know english. hahaha even though they sing those songs.
We have a nice volcanoe behind our house that wants to explode, soo thats cool. it has never exploded before but last night everybody said we had an earthquake from it, but ya know how I am when I sleep. I'm dead to the world so I didnt feel it. I'm sure when it does erupt, I will be asleep or something. haha but really, its so nasty here from all the smoke and ash its been blowing out. I'm sure we will be safe though.
Today with some of our district, we went and hiked to the river. next pday we will actually make it to the waterfalls we wanted to go to. hahaha but it was a lot of fun... I will send pics now.
I love all of you and am so proud of what all of you are accomplishing. thanks for all the love, support, and prayers. time is going by way fast. I will be home before you know it. I am so grateful for this gospel and the chance I have to be sharing it with these honest, crazy costa ricans. haha but really its great.
LOVE YOU!!!!
Love, hermana Boer
