Week 9
Hola! Buenos días!
I can almost say that I have been in Costa Rica for two whole weeks. Haha when I say it, it sounds super short, but I've already done so much. I am in Tibas which is kind of like a suburb near the capitol San José haha I think it's pretty modernized so it's not really the jungle that you may imagine when you think of Costa Rica.
"My dear brothers and sisters, I promise that as you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day. I promise that as you ponder what you study, the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to your own questions and direction for your own life. I promise that as you daily immerse yourself in the Book of Mormon, you can be immunized against the evils of the day." - President Russel M Nelson.
What a great message and promise from our prophet! We have been sharing this with members and investigators this week. Each time we bare testimony of the truth of the words of the Book of Mormon: another Testament of Jesus Christ the spirit is so strong in the room. The Book of Mormon has so much power. Even the power to change our lives for the better. Reading it everyday really with make our lives better!
My companion and I get along great! And we have had some great lessons this week. I love that after each lesson as we walk back to our house we discuss what we learned and what we could improve. It is such a great time to learn from the spirit.
Some fun things that happened this week:
I had my first pday in Costa Rica and it was so fun. We hung out with other missionaries in our zone and played volleyball, basketball, cards and had cookies. And the crowning moment was of course when I got to call my family!
Pupusa. They're like stuffed thick corn tortillas and they are delicious!
We went to Walmart. Yes! There is a Walmart here in Costa Rica :)
A Rooster. Haha during our companionship study outside there was a rooster that we tried to take a picture with and then it totally chased us down!
The weather here is definitely nice. I'm honestly never too hot or too cold.
The ward is so supportive here. We get member meals and they are always giving referrals. Ward members are so important in missionary work.
I have never played so much uno in my life. Spicy uno is definitely where it's at.
