Hey
everyone!
 |
| Elder Mejia and me - we ball hard, Tico style |
I say this every time but I hope that everything is going well and that life is good
Since my
"haha's" are getting out of hand, I'm going to take it easy on them.
I think it's just a way to express myself somehow more than just a boring
email, I'm not quite sure...
So this
week was a great one with a big change!
The big
change is that I'm done with my training now. I'm staying in Alejuelita and I got a new companion today. His name is Elder Contreras and he's from Mexico. He
only has one change more than me (month and a half) and he's going to be the
new district leader. The Zone Leaders asked me to kind of help him with the ropes of
being District Leader because my last companion was the same thing. I don't
know a whole lot about him yet.. There's always something to learn with each companion so this will be an
adventure of some sorts haha!

| Diany's baptism |
This week I had another baptism! Her name is Diany and she's living with a member family.
Her boyfriend has been out in the mission-field for 1 month and she was super
interested in the church because of him. She was prepared and everything to
receive the gospel and she progressed super fast! She's awesome and I'm excited
to keep meeting with her and helping her progress!
So, I
thought that this week would be normal and I wouldn't be attacked by an animal
or have exploding appliances BUT, I was definitely wrong. So, our new apartment has two windows that open out to a roof. There's this cat that won't
leave us alone and it's super annoying. The first night it came, I had just woken up in
the middle of the night to get a drink of water. The cat was literally watching
me in my sleep and it scared the crud out of me because the window is right
next to my bed. HA I may have screamed because my companion woke up too. A couple of days later, the cat got in while we were gone. We
came back to an over-turned garbage can and half-eaten food. I found the culprit in one of the rooms. The cat was hunched in the corner hissing at me! So I grabbed my handy-dandy umbrella and fought this devil-cat out of my apartment. It was flying everywhere around
our whole apartment and eventually it escaped out of my window. BUT, during it's escape, the
freaking cat peed on my mattress! I was TICKED haha. So that was my adventure
for this week!

| The Alejuelita gang |
We have
been having a lot of success in this area and I'm excited to see what we still have
in store. I've learned that it is through obedience that we receive blessings
and it is through exact obedience that we receive miracles. I know that this is
the Lord's work and that He is preparing His children for His gospel!
I don't
have a whole ton to write about this week so sorry for the shortish letter. I already miss the missionaries who left my district, but I'm excited to see
what great things the new missionaries are going to do here in Alejuelita!
Thank you
for all the prayers in my behalf! They don't go to waste!
PURA VIDA!
- Elder Stott
