We all got our travel plans next week and are super pumped. We fly out of Utah around 8 in the morning on Monday Feb 2nd, and then have a 3-4 hour layover in Atlanta Georgia before flying to Costa Rica. Since we've gotten our travel plans its been so hard to focus in class. Our teachers keep having to snap us back into reality from our daydreams haha. I am so excited to get out there and start this new lifestyle. I can't wait to become part of the culture, become one with the people, and eat FRESH FRUIT!!! The food here is great, but I am just waiting for all of those fresh-fruit markets. Those avocados are screaming my name.
So, two funny stories for this week. Elder Watson and I were teaching this investigator named Encarni and she was telling us about her kids. I told her that I worked with kids in my high school and I wanted to tell her that I like kids. Well for anyhting else in Spanish, you would say something like "Me gusta este libro" which means I like this book, or "Me gusta comer" which means I like to eat. Well in Spanish, that directly translates into "this thing pleases me". So when I told Encarni "Me gusta niños" I really told her that little children please me... super creepy. She just looked at me super weird, it was so awkward. Spanish tip of the day: when you are saying that you like kids, you say "Me caen bueno niños". I'm sure I'll have lots of stories like that in the field.
I can't wait to be able to send you all my first email from Costa Rica and brag to ya'll about how much fun I'm having. I'll be sure to include as many details as I possible. I pray every night for everyone back home and everyone whom I love so much. Thanks for everything and thanks for all the support. I love and miss you all.
Keep on Keepin' on...

P.S. I would totally want Jesus on my team for any game... #teamjesus

Elder Giron was one of the new missionaries we got in our Zone but he's pretty fluent in Spanish so he actually left for Argentina after being here for like 2 weeks.
Elder Reeves (he's a really big guy, super funny, and reminds me EXACTLY of Kevin James) squatted down one day and totally destroyed his pants. It was amazing. Totally funny
