Feliz Día de independencia!! Que loco es que Jenna ya llegue esta semana?? Solo tengo un poquito de celosa para ella. (: Y Sus hijos que lindas son!!! <3 Les Amo tanto <3
How crazy Jenna is coming home this week! I am only a little Jealous of her. And you kids how cute are they! I love them so much! This week hasbeen great!!
It has been raining SO much! This week we were in a lesson and it was raining cats and dogs. The roofs of the houses here are like tin so you can hear everything that is happening. Which means you could hear nothing inside the house. We were going to watch the video of Jose Smith and the Resturation. So we were watching it with subtitles. Everything was great until all of the sudden yeah the lights went out.... it was like 6:30 so it was really dark already....It was pitch black and this family had no lights to use. Then the roof started leaking..... so that was awesome.. Finally the lights came back like 30 minutes later but then we were like okay we have to go so a member of the other branch came to pick us up so we could be with the other missionaries in our district. We walked out of the house and we were soaked in one second. Then we had to step of the curb into the street..... Literally there was a foot of water so you steped down and it was like a river for a second until your foot hit the ground. So that was a little entertaining. Hermana Garcia was like ah hermana Give me your had....it felt like we were in a movie. But we finally crossed te street and got in the car. You couldn't see anything while you were driving but we made it to a house of a Recent convert who lives likein the jungle.... Their house was so small and we had like 20 people there. But we had a nice little lesson then we ate some food..... We were not expecting to eat anything but we ate this stuff it was like stew but gross.... haha (:
I don't think I will ever adjust to the food here.. it is not bad but it is not good either. There was some chicken in the thing and you all know how much I love chicken that is on the bone..... But luckyly when they weren't looking I put it in the bowl of the Elder next to me (: That was a pretty fun day! Thank goodness for elders!
Well this week we had 4 people come to church!! Yay (: One of them even came BY HIMSELF. We were so happy (: we don't have many investigators right now but we are working really hard to find them! We had a lesson with one of our investigators who is not married but living with his girlfriend ( Like everyone here in Costa Rica) but he has been progressing really well. He loves the church and wants to learn more always. We always feel the spirit so strong with him. (: Hopefully we can help him get things figured out with his "wife"
My companion is great (: we have so much fun together! I will be so sad to see her go in 2 weeks I can't even think about it. It is going to be so weird to have a new companion But i am kind of excited to a change!
Oh today is independence day here so everyone is out of school and they had a parade thing this morning. We couldn't go because you know we are missionaries but we went to help one of our investigators get ready for it this morning. We braided her hair and everything. Mom you should be proud my braids are getting pretty darn good here!
Also one more thing about the food..... you guys wont believe this.... Last night we were with some members. We went to drop of our clothes to the Hermana who washes them. They told us they had something for us to try to eat.... it is called frito.... I was like ew what the heck it that. It looks like just a bunch of little pieces of meat cut up.... But no.... It is a pigs face!!!! Like all of it the cheeks, the nose, the ears.... all of it... They told me before i ate any so yeah i didn't eat any... But it was so gross! I really think i might be a vegetarian here... (:
Well family this week has been good! Just keep praying for me! Love you all so much! This week i have really gained a love for the Book of Morman. I was reading in 3 nephi 11 where Christ comes to the Nephites. Honestly you can learn so much from just that chapter. I learned that Christ is the perfect missionary in this chapter. Maybe I'll just share a little of what i learned with you. The fact it takes them 3 times to understand the voice only when they were paying attention to the voice and listening they could understand what Heavenly Father was saying to them. Then The first thing Christ says to them is Yo Soy Jesucristo. Because he didn't want anyone to be confused about who he was. I learned that that how we all need to be we need to let people know that we are diciples of christ the minute they meet us. Then the next thing Christ says is he died for the sins of the world. That shows us that the Atonment is the most important part of what he did for us. Then he invites them to come and see and feel the marks in his hands and feet. We should always invite others to come to christ. To feel his love and use his atonment. That is from like the first few verses. I would invite all of you to read this chapter and think how can we be more like Christ and invite others to come to him I just love the Book of Morman so much! I know it is the word of God!
Well family (: i love you all so much! I hope you have a great week! I am sure you will with so much going on! Give Jenna a big hug from me!
Love Hermana Chatwin
