So here in our area of Rio Claro, we are kinda in the armpit of Zona Sur. This zone is pretty much the most beautiful zone in all of Costa Rica, but here in Rio Claro, it's pretty ugly and there is nothing to do haha. So last week we went on a little "adventure" with some of the Elders here in the Zone. We went to a place called Golfito and hiked a mountain to see the ocean view. It was really beautiful and a great stress-reliever.
So remember about a month ago when we had to change houses? Well we made a huge mistake and that was pretty much the worst house I've ever seen. We lived without electricity for an entire month just with an extension cord that our neighbor passed us for the month. There were holes in the ceiling were the rats could pass through and sleep with us at night, and we woke up to passed-out drunks on our doorstep multiple times. Haha don't ask me why we moved over there, it just seemed like a good idea at the time haha. But after some time in what we nicknamed "La Cueva" or in English "The Cave" we realized that it wasn't exactly the best place for missionaries to be living. So after doing some more searching and signing some more papers, we are now moved into what I'm pretty sure is the best house in the mission. It's big, brand-new, and there's even a nightly security guard that patrols just our street. Yeah, it's all good now.
My companion had a birthday last week. He turned 26 years old. I call him Grandpa and we get along really well..
Our area is really slow and the work actually seems to get harder and harder every day. But the thing that keeps us going is the knowledge that everyone can make their own choices. As long as we do our part as missionaries, God will guide these people to the things they need. It's slow, but it's a beautiful work.
Keep On Keein' On...
