Hello! 

I hope everyone is doing great. 

Well this was a super quick week. I really did not feel it go by. So we got a pretty suprising email today. Our new Mission President has been announced!  Here is a small bio they sent us :

New President for Costa Rica Mission

Brother Wilkinson is a stake president and is a former high councilor, bishop, Young Men president and missionary in the Dominican Republic Mission. Assistant administrator, Seminaries and Institutes. Born in Murray, Utah, to Joseph William and Clytie Wilkinson.

Sister Wilkinson serves as a Primary teacher and is a former counselor in a Young Women presidency, enrichment leader, Primary music leader, counselor in a special needs Mutual, Sunday School teacher and Relief Society teacher. Born in Provo, Utah, to Gary Douglas and Carolyn Marie Ford.

I thought it was pretty funny that I wrote a little about that in my last email. It was also exciting news, eventhough I probably will not get to know this President very well. 

So on Friday I was able to make my first return trip back to Siquirres (my first area) to do a few baptism interviews. It was so fun to see familiar sights and faces. The interviews went great, and I have really loved havig the opportunity to do them. District meetings are proving to be fun as well. 

Elder Martinez and I are getting along super well, and we are ready to have some success together. The upcoming days will be pretty crucial for us to complete our goals.

I really love the Guacimo branch. It is very small, but has a lot of heart. We are trying to work closely with members, but its difficult  when there arent very many. haha 

Anyways, thats it for today. Take care all. 

Pura Vida
