11 meses!!
Hi family (: How did the time go so fast! Yesterday I had 11 months in the mission. I just can't believe that the time is going SO fast! Well this week is changes but they postponed the change until Friday. We are not sure why or anything no one has said but we are having a Mission confrence Friday with Elder Duncan who is the area President for Central America and a member of the 70. 2 weeks ago we had a Multi Zone confrence with Elder Alonzo who is also a member of the 70. The Lord is for sure hastening his work here in Costa Rica. So I am not sure If I am going to have changes but we will see. Also we are changing the day we write again to Mondays instead of Tuesdays. So next week I WILL WRITE YOU ON MONDAY. (:
CRAZY! We had so many miracles here! We have this one Investigator who told us she wasn't ready to get baptized and that she had her interview but didn't pass. That was last week. So we have been praying and fasting to find out what she needed. So we had a lesson with her Saturday afternoon and we were trying to watch the Restoration but the internet in her house wasn't working. So we decided to read it in JSH. We read it and it was really powerful. Then we talked about how she felt ( Which we have done like a million times talked about that feeling good is an answer that these things are true ) But i guess it never clicked in her head until this minute. When she read a scripture and said oh So when I feel good after I pray that is God telling me that this is true. It was just amazing how you could see that the spirit instantly touched her heart and she got her answer in that minute. Then she asked us if she could read the baptismal questions and we said sure then asked if she had a question and she said no I am ready. So we called the zone leaders and told them we was ready. So the Zone leaders came to give her the Interview and she passed. (: It was the most spiritual experience ever. This was on Saturday night and she said she wanted to get baptized Sunday morning!! We were so happy. So we called the Member who she wanted to baptize her and had to work on Sunday so we were thinking what should we do but we figured it all out and she got baptized on Sunday in the afternoon. Also she invited her Sister and her Mom to come.
It was so incredible! Her sister came up to us and asked so when are you coming to my house. (: We said wednesday she said sure. Then the Ward mission leader asked her when are you going to get baptized and she said in April (: haha So we are going with her tomorrow and I am sure that we are going to see really great things from this family!
Also on Sunday we have 2 more baptisms in the afternoon of a Mom and her Daughter. It was the neatest thing to see. She was a refrence of a Recent Convert. So they are really really good friends. The hermana gave a talk which was great because she only has been baptized like 6 months and has never given a talk. But the best part was after the baptism they asked the mom if she wanted to say something and she gave the most beautiful testimony I have ever heard. She said she was waiting for something to change in her life and this is exactly what she needed to start over and be a new person. It was so great. She is reading the book of mormon and is in Alma! She read to Alma before she was even baptized (: We were so happy for her!
Also we got a new ward mission leader this week. He is awesome! We are really good friends with him and his wife and they live right by us. But he is really excited to start working and we are all getting the ward ready to start working!
Aw family I can't even tell you how great this week has been. I have had SO many spiritual experiences and really seen the Hand of the Lord. I have no doubt in my mind that my Heavenly Father knows me and he is very aware of what I need in my life. I am so grateful that we have the gospel and know that we can have an eternal family! We get to be together forever as long as we do what the Lord asks of us!
Well Family I love you all SO much! I hope you have a great week and we will talk to you on MONDAY next week (:

A crazy week
Hi Family!!!
(: Ah i can't tell you how fun it was to see all your pictures this week! How fun that everyone is together!!!! I love you guys! I am glad you all were together on my birthday! And ate some chocolate pie for me (:
Well this week has been crazy! We had a lot of disappointments but we also saw a lot of Miracle this week. We have an investigator who is so great! She has come to church 4 times but doesn't feel like she has gotten her answer yet. She was supposed to have her baptismal interview thisweek but she said she couldn't because she was in San Jose. So we were waiting for her in Cartago with the Elders who were going to do the interview but she said no. (: Ah i can't tell you how fun it was to see all your pictures this week! How fun that everyone is together!!!! I love you guys! I am glad you all were together on my birthday! And ate some chocolate pie for me (:
So we were really bummed just waiting for the Elders and thinking what should we do when she walked up to us. We were in the middle of the city and she just ran into us. So she had her interview that night. She still doesn't feel quite ready to get baptized but we are working on it. It was crazy that we ran into her though in the middle of a city.... Heavenly Father loves her so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (:
Hi family (:
Can you believe how fast the time has gone! We are in MARCH..... where did the time go. I hope you all celebrate my birthday with some chocolate satin pie from Marie Calenders. And save me a piece. (:We were board so we decided that we would watch some movies. We have movies of the district which are like training videos for missionaries. So we watched those for like 3 hours yesterday and were talking about some of the things we could do better. We were watching one lesson and decided he we need to try that with one of our investigators so we wrote down some questions that we needed to ask her and we went to the lesson. It was probably the best lesson we have ever had! It was so great and she really felt the spirit so strong. And that she was going to pray to see if she should be baptized this weekend. I know that the Lord will bless her to recieve an answer. Also i gained such a strong testimony of planning that really when we do all our part the Lord will bless us with the rest and the spirit will help us to teach in the way we need to.
These past few weeks I have really come to understand the gospel so much more. I have come to understand my purpose as a missionary and I love doing it. I am so grateful to be here. I know that my heavenly father knows me and knows exactly what I need. He knows every one of us and wants us to succeed. Really heavenly father loves us so much and it is so much easier to follow the gospel and to live the commandments. Life is never going to be easy but It is worth it and SO much easier when you live the gospel. (:
Well Family I love you guys! I hope you all have a great week! Love you!!!!
