It´s been a while since I´ve heard from you all. We had transfers today! I´m not very good reminding you when those are so that´s why you didn´t hear from me on Monday. I´m guessing I´ll forget next time so I´ll just tell you now that next transfers are April 24th. All is well though. Actually, all is super well! I´m sitting next to my new companion Elder Vallejo! Way sick kid, and my first comp from Honduras! He brings 19 months of experience to the area of La Campiña, and I think this will be the last stop of his journey. I think this will be a fun change, but I´ve got to make sure we do work son haha. He is the new DL and senior comp but I´ll be in charge of the area for the next couple days because I know it.
Transfers meeting was way fun seeing old comps Stevens, Portillo, and Burgerner. Burgs told me Carlos Juan got baptized last month. He was the guy we taught who had been investigating for 18 years. Elder Portillo has 2 more changes and then my papi is outta here. President and Sister Galvez spoke and told us we weren´t a very "smiley" mission. We need to smile more :) and we´ll be more successful. January was a pretty good month for the mission though Let´s see what else is going on...
We have a lesson with the Solano family that im excited/nervous for. They´re incredibly hard to meet with so tonight will be important. I´m hoping the dad will have an interest in listening to us. I´ll let you know how that goes next week. This week we had 2 baptism goals set for the 26th. One is a señora named Esmeralda who has major heart and back conditions. She can´t get baptized in cold water or else she´ll have a heart attack. There is one chapel in the country with hot water so I think we´ll go there and do it. I´ll have to be careful with her if I do the baptism haha. Then there is Karla. The eleven year old with the attitude conditon ha! I´ve learned that teaching young kids is not my favorite thing to do in the mission, but you got to what you gotta do. She struggles with respect for her mom(reminds me of a younger someone I knew) and wanted nothing to do with the church. She´s comin´ along though and we´ll be ready in 2 saturdays. In Costa Rica there is a lot of single moms because the dudes just get their girlfriends pregnant and bounce. So that´s why we teach children so often. Well my short time is up. I love you all. Take care
Pura Vida
