Yeah, you read that right, 14 months, and 4 to go. I don't wanna
believe it. I can't. I won't. Soooo let's talk about somethin else. :)
We got 2 baptisms on saturday... it was such a relief and so stressful
as well. Because Cintia didn't show up... we went to her house and
everything, and she was like, nope, I'm not gonna do it. I don't feel
good enough to do it, another day I'll do it but right now no... I
wanted to scream, but I was straightforward with her, and so she was
like ok I will come to church tomorrow and I'll feel better. she didn't
come, so now shes gonna have to find the path on her own,. I hate
leaving investigators when they were progressing, but with her, it was
just like a punch in the face. satan works hard. but its all good. As
long as we work hard, we won't have to worry anything about him, cause
weve already won. :)
We had 16 inactives in the church yesterday. 3 FAMILIES!! It's so
exciting to see them there, cause it's just one step closer to the
temple. These people seriously are the best, they have a testimony
and when they come to church you can just see a difference in them. I
love it.
We got ourselves a different nurse. and she is making me cook my own
food, so I make sure I get enough fruits and veggies. she also sent me
to a psych doctor. That was fun. I felt so awkward but so relaxed at
the same time. She gave me some pills and guess what. THEY
WORKED!! No they are not crazy pills, but sleeping pills. I took one
and 15 minutes later I was OUT. I slept for 11 hours straight.
HOLLAAAA. but everyone was telling me I was gonna have to go to the
hospital if I didn't start sleeping so the nurse said, "hey we will send
you to a crazy doctor." it works... I'm not crazy. hahaha ok yeah I am,
but I'm normal... yeah ya get it...
Our district has to sing "Onward Christian Soldiers" for the
conference with Elder Ochoa from the 70 on thursday. IT SOUNDED AWFUL.
but then our district president helped us out. We sound a lot
better.... hahaah thank you for people who have talent. ANDDDD WE ARE
GOING TO THE TEMPLE ON WEDNESDAY!!! I'm soooooooo pumped! I didn't
know if I would be seeing Preston, BUT a sister from San Jose said
that the missionaries from Puntarenas are going too. I'M SO EXCITED.
it's been like 4 months since I've seen him. I need a good cousin time.
haha
I can't believe Hayden is all grown up, and an Elder as well I couldn't
be more proud, seriously I cry:) but it's a happy cry. I got his
announcement and EVERYBODY says he's really good looking. And I'm like,
well it runs in the family I guess. hahaha

Cambiooossss
Don't have em. Thank goodness. It was so funny how everybody was so
worried about them and I was like, I'm gonna end my mission here, no
big deal. and I didn't get changed. It'll happen.
Today was AWESOOME!. We woke up at the crack of dawn, or earlier to
get on the bus to go to the waterfalls here. It was sweet. and huge,
and we played with monkeys, not really cause they just throw poop at
ya, but it was cool to see them for the first time here in the Rica.
It was a lot of fun today, it was actually a really good week as well.
Yesterday was good, we had 4 investigators come to church, and 12
inactives! Crazy, we were not expecting that with only 1 week
of visiting in actives!
I had to leave early with another
missionary to take her to the hospital, and let me tell ya, I CANNOT
believe that this place is certified to be a freakin hospital. It was
the dirtiest worst service horrible nurses hospital I've ever been too.
I think people leave there with other sicknesses. I think I might have
left there with one. We were there for 7 hours, while they just put an
IV in her, and told her she had broncitis. when she was throwing up
and couldn't eat. TELL ME THATS BRONCITIS. It was awful. She was like
yup I'm leaving, and she got up and left. hahahahah I was so angry, and
she was angry as well.... my Boer side came out. hahahah
This week I found out somethings that my comp can't eat. hahah she is
SO ALLERGIC to EVERYTHING. I swear. we tried a new fruit, and it was
really good, and when we got done eating one, she blew up like a
balloon. I was freakin out, but thank goodness we were in a store
where there was allgery pills hahaha
Roger accepted a baptism date!! honestly, it was a miracle. He was
like yes, I know this is what I need to do, and you both make me see
things from a different perspective, unlike the elders who taught me
before, you both teach like you care about me and not like another
baptism (his whole family are members, he knows stuff) hahaha not
talking bad about elders or anything, but its cool to see the work
moving with sisters:)
Jimena, the daughter of our last baptism. she was like, I'm
going to get baptized, and so we put a date with her, and her mom was
like, ok sounds good. It was crazy how easy that was. How easy they
said yes. but I think it's because the mom knows how it is and how she
will feel after this step in her life.
Last monday, we went and visited a recent convert, and her daughter
that got baptized, with the elders, because they were teaching her, so
we had to go with them for an interview, anyways, this is the same
family that got mad cause they were still drinking coffee after their
baptisms, so I helped them get rid of it right... yeah they were still
mad at me. but I talked to them about it, how I was helping them keep
the commandments of God. and they said ok that's alright. and
everything is good. The people here are actually really prideful...
and I don't know if that helps me get rid of my pride or just builds
it... it scares me hhaaha but my hick side came out and I helped them
chop wood. hahaha SO FUNNY. They can't do it. I was like, hey I'll help
you.
Saturday we were invited by Roger and his family to a FHE, we
actually went fishing. Haha I was the only one that caught something.
I'm so proud of myself. I learned something in my younger days. haha it
was a really good FHE we learned alot and they did to on how to be a
united family.
Welp. Let me tell ya. the mission is crazy. hard, fun, and SO WORTH
IT. and it goes by fast.
