9 Months & Transfers

So this week has been just packed full of exciting news and new happenings. I'll just touch on the most important to sum things up. Plus this keyboard I'm typing on has most of the letters worn off so it's pretty hard to type so please excuse any mistakes. It's eaither the keybord or the fact that I'm forgetting English again.

So 2 days ago was the 13th which is my month-mark. This past week I completed 9 months in the mission. That may seem like a lot but as anyone who has served a mission knows, that's not the case. 9 months is still pretty much the begining of the mission, not even half way through yet. And to make things seem even longer, think about the fact that I started my mission over a year ago. I've still got 15 months to go before I head home. But the thing is, I couldn't be happier. I'm so in love with my mission and grateful for the fact that I get to spend a lot more time here. I love Costa Rica. I love the mission.

So today is transfers and sure enough, I have been changed. I have been called to open a new area called Concepcion de Tres Rios. My new companion is Elder Coronado from Guatemala. We're both pretty nervous about this new responsability that President has given us but we plan on diving into it head first. We sure could use all the prayers and good wishes from all of you. Opening a new area means starting from complete scratch, all new investigators means tracting every day. We'll see how this goes.

Thank you all for everything. Can't wait to let y'all know how this new change is going next week. Hope all is well back home. Love you guys!

Keep On Keepin' On...
