hahahaha I just want to say first off that Preston and I are the exact same person, we are SO FUNNY. I love it. he's gonna do great. I'm excited for him to be here soon!
AND WE GOT 206 BAPTISMS THIS MONTH. yeah we reached our mission goal and more, and the 70 is saying we are the best missionaries on the block... its true. PURA VIDA,. COSTA RICA SAN JOSE MISSION. the best.
Humidity and food dont mix.... it's so gross to eat soggy cereal in the morning without putting milk in the bowl.... gag meeeeee.
Tuesday we had a zone conference. It was super good. we watched a transmission of Elder Holland, and how we should be Preach my Gospel missionaries. And it's so true, we don't have that book for nothing.
I had a crazy dream one night. I only remember the stupid ones, but here it is.... in a minute... so we were walking back to our house at night and I had this sick shin split. It was killing me. so I took some pills, cause I'm a pill popper now, and went to bed after planning. I was in that stage where I'm like kinda awake but not. and then I had this dream that we went to a meeting with our zone, and my leg was black, cause there was no curculation, and the nurse told me just to drink water and I was like ah hail nahh I'm not drinking water for this, and the elders were like yeah we need to take her to the hospital, so they carried me there and the doctor was like yeah we need to cut this sucker off, and I was like screaming and stuff and he pulled our a machete and cut my leg off.... I woke up in more pain, with my leg still white. I'm good now though...
We went and played soccer with our district this week with a couple of members. It was so fun! I haven't played soccer in like 3 months!!! Well a real game, in like 4. I scored some sick goals, and everybody was like, wow... a gringa playin soccer. YOU'RE THE BEST HNA BOER! haha thanks thanks I know...
So we are switching cooks right? We went and talked to our new one which is the mom of the bishop... and Juan, he's lost 7 pounds because they eat healthy now and we were like sweet that's just what we need. And he goes yeah, look at me, SEXY. HAHAHAHA I DIED!!!!
There is this little kid in San Fran, called Hayten. and everytime we walk by he goes "hna quiroz hey! oh hey matcha!" haah and one day is was like, to his brother, her name is matcha! haah its like gringa, but not... I guess. I'm not really sure.. it's just how they call white people. not just Americans.
This lady that we met in the street, and she was like "nah I'm Catholic, but we should sit and chat sometime and have some coffee", and we were like oh no we don't drink coffee, and she was like "oh yeah don't you mormons drink blood or something?"... ummm nooo, let's not listen to rumors old lady.
This one time a couple weeks ago I sent out some letters to some friends and on the back I drew what I thought was the Costa Rica flag with Pura Vida... and come to find out, I drew the Dutch flag... hahahaha pura vida. So embarrassing. don't worry, I know how to draw the Costa Rica flag now.... I might get shot if I do it again. I just hope one doesn't get returned to me and the secretaries give me crap. haha
We went to mutual with the youth this week. I kinda miss it. Not gonna lie, it's a lot more fun than those old lady activities. Hahaha jk jk. But really. The bishop gave a lesson about service and love. He shared candy with us. So we should definitely serve ya know. Because if we are in the service of our fellow beings we are only in the service of our God.
So it rains here like everyday right?, no big surprise. But I decided this one day that I would play in it instead of hating it. So I was jumping in puddles towards my comp and laughing cause I thought I was getting her real good, and then as she jumped in one, this HUGE WAVE of water came on us. Thank you bus. You win.
JUAN CARLOS ACCEPTED A DATE FOR BAPTISM!!! WOOOOOSHHH!!! oh my gosh every one is SO EXCITED. he's gonna be one of those strong converts for the rest of his life. He's awesome, we want him and his grandpa to be baptized the same day, so we will keep praying. how cool would that be???
I'm teaching my comp english, and I'm making her pray in english everyday, IT'S SO CUTE. her voice already is like super little girl, like high and stuff, like AmyLynnes voice, ahh I love it, then when she talks in english I die. It's so cute!!! .... I'm pretty hard on her, cause she wants to go to school at BYU and I'm like, dude, learn english you only have 6 months till you go home, and shes like I know. So whenever she speaks spanish I'm like, sorry I don't understand. haah shes like, FINEEEEEEE. don't worry, I still speak spanish, I still have to learn a different language too. haha
I love the presidents wife.
Hey y'all should read 3 Nephi 12:44. its real good.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK JUSTIN!!!! THANKS FOR BEING THE BEST BROTHER IN LAW EVER. hahahaa see what I did there... you are so old. enjoy your birthday week, spoiled brat....
John 15... are you are friend of Jesus??
The talk, Saints for all Seasons by Pres. Uchtdorf was really good right. read it if you haven't.
and also read Christ like Mercy by Randy Daybell. I enjoyed it.
I am so grateful for the time I have to be a missionary. It's going by way too fast, but it's the best and hardest experience I've ever had in my life. The best decision I have made. EVER. so far. I'm soooo excited to hear the words of the prophets this weekend. We are so blessed to have this gospel. Salvation is not a joke. So live the way you are suppose too.
I love you all!!!
