Museo del Jade

This past month we completed our goal for baptisms in the zone so we were given permission to do a zone activity. Today we went to the Jade Museum in downtown San Jose. It was really good to get to know a little bit more about the history of the indigenous people of Costa Rica. I've attached a few pictures so you guys can see a little of how it was.

I had a great change of mind this past week, God is great.

 

My perspective changed from being "scared to go home" to only "not wanting my mission to end".  I don't ever want this life I have as full-time servant of the lord to end, but I'm not scared anymore of what the future holds for me in another 5-6 months. I was thinking the other day that we haven't had any baptisms for about 5 months, that's a long time here in our mission. My comp and I were feeling honestly a little down hearted when I remembered a few simple words from my dad. Before I came out here he told me that "the strongest convert I have on my whole mission will be myself." I may not be baptizing a family of 8 every single week, or the next bishop or next rockstar missionary, but I have learned and am learning things here that I never could've learned anywhere else. I am preparing a better future for myself and for my family than I could've ever imagined. 

 

I love you all and I love the mission. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I know He loves me and all of you. Have a great week!

 

Keep On Keepin' On..
