June 16, 2014 WORLD CUUUPPPP

Welp. The world cup started if anybody didn't know. and Costa Rica won
their game.... the whole country knows even if they didn't want to...
We had strict instruccion to work in the morning and at 1 study until
the game was over so we weren't allowed to leave. hahah the people
still haven't taken their jerseys off... everybody was surprised that
they won. But Holland won! WOOT WOOT! and the states play RIGHT NOW!!
so crazy... I was suppose to be there....
ANYWAYS. missionary work right??

Let's just say that Roger is SOOO READY for his baptism THIS SATURDAY.
We taught him about repentance and he told us that he didn't believe in
it before, like if I'm going to sin, I shouldn't be forgiven because I
know excactly what I'm doing. But then it was explained to me, and now
I know that I definitely need repentance and the atonement in my life
to really progress. And we were like YEAH YA DO! so we were happy he
understands it.

We visited an inactive family, and we shared a little scripture and
then the mom bore her testimony saying that this is the church she
needs to be in. During the week she was listening to her other church
down the road and just wanted to go and see what was happening. but
she prayed to God asking for direction, and she said that we are her
answer that she has been needing. We were chosen by God to help them
come back to church. It was really amazing. and the whole family has
such a testimony. The spirit was SO STRONG. Actually one of the
daughters isn't a member because she never wanted to be baptized, but
she didn't know what kind of an answer she should be looking for, so we
explained it to her. and she said that she will do all that she can to
recieve an answer. so we will see what happens this week :)

There was a family from Ogden on vacation and they were at church, we
took pics, and said that they will look Bryan and Andria up to share
them :) he is stake president in a stake over there, so I'm sure they'll
find them:)

We had an awesome district meeting, like always, I always learn so
much, and always want to be a better missionary after.

BUT. We had a nice fathers day activity Saturday night, and I dunno
what it is, but these latinos have something with clowns..... they
love them. well I don't. And there just happened to be 3 at this
activity.They found out that I am afraid of them, so they had a
little fun with it. My heart is still running fast, and my nerves are
still stiff. IT WAS AWFUL. but everybody else had a great time with
it.

Anyways. The Church is still true. and I'm still in Costa Rica, so it must be! :)
read 2 Nephi chapter 4. its pretty great. I've read it like 7923570
times in the last 2 weeks and I can't get enough of it. I learn so
much. And we share it with the people who need a little boost.
love yall. enjoy the world cup for me! BESOS!!!!
