So I realize my emails have been super lame the last couple weeks. So I decided to write you guys first before I do anything else. This week I've just been trying to get to know the area a little better. It's extremely big so it might take me a while to get it down. Heredia is super pretty though. My companion likes to run in the mornings so there's a small track we go to and it's got a great view. Heredia is one of the smaller provinces of Costa Rica and it's north of San Jose. It reminds me a little bit of Limon because it's very green. The area is separated by north and south. My comp and I have the north which is a lot more affluent so the work is tough but the members seem to support like crazy. In church they actually have a class for recent converts just to help them share the gospel i.e. pass out pamphlets to their friends and stuff. The ward mission plan is very organized.
So my Comp Elder Castro is from Honduras. My second Honduraneo. He is a convert of just a couple years so it's been cool to learn from his perspective. The other two Elders Haws and Whitlock are from Illinois and Arizona. We've been having a lot of fun together. I think sometimes my comp feels left out with the English but maybe it will motivate him to learn more. The house we live in is pretty good sized. A mansion considered to my last apartment. Two bathrooms but one shower doesn't work.
Today for pday we went and played soccer and made some tasty carne asada with grilled pineapple. The zone is the biggest in the mission I believe. For the first time Elder Stevens and I are together (mtc comp). Also, Sister Hunter just so happens to be in my district.
This week we found some cool new families. Last night we contacted a man with his 3 kids. He invited us over to his house and we taught them about baptism. Also, the 4 little ones were pretty rambunctious but we sat them down in front of us and sang Families can be together forever. It was a neat experience.
That's about all I can think of for now. I love you guys. Happy Birthday to Mom and Happy fathers day to dad.
Pura Vida
Elder Miller
