Week 43
This week at the zone conference, president had everyone crying. Haha or at least a little uncomfortable because of the pain. During lunch we each were highly recommended to receive the flu vaccine. It wasn't that bad and Larry who was doing the vaccine was super nice, but it did kind of hurt for a few seconds.
Monday for pday we went to the first catholic church here in Costa Rica. It's in Cartago. And it's so pretty. What was also interesting was seeing the way people worshiped. We watched as people crawled for 20 minutes, some with their babies strapped to the front, to kiss the floor of the virgin Mary.
Wednesday was probably my favorite day of equipo de sueños. We talked to someone who had already met with the missionaries in the past so we knew we had to share the first vision. And this guy was literally like ya I know that's true I prayed about it. Those lucky missionaries in the other mission. Someone else asked us about baptism out of the blue. And then in our final call/lesson, the sweet person was so confused by the bible so we shared the first vision and how there is a Book that is the most correct book because it teaches with clarity! (The Book of Mormon!!!)
Back to zone conference, I quite enjoyed the challenge we received to look for the little kids in primary that aren't baptized. We had such a great time with the primary president and her husband learning about these kids as well as the primary president and her family. Her husband is basically a celebrity missionary. He baptized a whole native tribe in Ecuador on his mission, about 180 people. I think if you look up Wilson and Ecuador or something like that you might be able to find a short video.
I'm having such a great time strengthening our relationship with the members and even though at this moment no one has references, I look forward to the day they do. I got to sing at the fathers day activity and let's just say it wasn't that bad because now they have me booked for mothers day in August if I'm still here.
On Thursday we were driving to our zone conference in an Uber and we always try to talk with each driver but usually they don't progress. We shared the first lesson with our driver on Thursday and talked a little about the church. And well it didn't seem like he was super interested, but on Saturday night we sent him an invitation to church and he came! And he said he could only stay for one hour but he was there for the whole thing and said he had never felt like he felt then. He felt lost and like he was missing something, and he felt something here. Oh and on our ward I'm also the new ward chorister, but luckily no one really pays attention to what I'm doing haha!
3 nefi 13:32-33
"Porque vuestro Padre Celestial sabe que tenéis necesidad de todas estas cosas. Mas buscad primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas os serán añadidas."
God knows what we need and when we need it. What we need to do is look for Him first, put Him first, and He will help us with the rest.
Mucho amor,
Hermana Warburton
