Week 42
This Monday I started in Montelimar, zona Toyopan, and now I am in Tres Ríos, zona Cartago. Some fun facts about Tres Ríos: it's near Cartago which is actually the old capital of Costa Rica. The weather is about the same. But I have heard there's lots of fun things to do here on pday.
Anyways this past week pday was so fun because we got to go roller skating. I really haven't ever been so I was learning, but I only fell once and in the end could go around doing laps. And we got to skate to Mamma Mia @sistermaddiestewart! Sadly, later that night we were walking quickly to visit about 4 members to say goodbye. And I slipped and fell backwards like in the movies. Haha sadly I've been feeling that fall all week long.
This past week we put someone on bap date. So exciting and we are praying that he won't let his doubts get him down. There is also such a sweet family here and they said they would all be coming to church Sunday but sadly they all got sick. But we still had three friends that came! Our president gave the whole mission the goal of each companionship baptizing the first 3 weeks of July, so please pray for us!
I also feel so humbled when we enter houses and people say we are the first missionaries to visit them in over 3 years. The Lord counts all his sheep that have entered His flock and I think sometimes the members don't feel counted. I look forward to counting everyone in this area and then involving them in adding more sheep to the flock.
As for equipo de sueños, I now know more about what it is haha. We are basically trying a new way to contact media references the mission receives. Only 5 sets of companionships contact the media referrals and we have consecrated time each day to do it. We are the first contact with these people. And what's even cooler is that we're the OGs! I am also thankful to be a pioneer! We've been told that other missions may start following our example.
Mosiah 28:3 Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.
I always love to think of this scripture as a example of charity. The sons of mosiah are desirous to serve a mission to invite others to experience the joy they have felt as members of the church of Jesus Christ. And we don't need a paper of plack to share that joy!
Mucho amor,
