I hope you're all doing great and are happy. I'm happier than I ever have been in my life out here in the mission and I now my life is changing for the better.
To be completely honest, not a whole lot happened this week out of the ordinary but that's ok, because I still love this place and these people no mater what happens or doesn't happen. The highlight of this week was probably yesterday, Sunday, at church. We have about 50 active members of our branch so it is very rare for us to have visitors or new faces other than the investigators that us, the missionaries, bring. Well yesterday I walked into our little church building and saw this random read-headed dude. This was honestly the first head of red hair that I have seen in Costa Rica so it really caught my attention. Well I walk over to this gringo sitting with his wife and introduced myself and asked where they were from. They were a freshly-wedded couple here in Costa Rica for their honeymoon and can you guess where they were from? Yuma, Arizona. Small world huh? Well it was really fun to chat with them, translate what was being taught for them, and give them a few site-seeing recomendations for the rest of their time here in Puerto Viejo.
Other than that, honestly it was just a good ol' normal week in the mission. I absolutely love teaching all these people in thier humble homes and their loving families. I can't wait to see what else the rest of my mission has in store for me. Have a great week y'all! Your brother Jesus Christ loves you.
Keep On Keepin' On...
