Hey everyone!
So this week
was another week that really flew by. There were a couple of really long &
difficult days but hey, I made it!

| Tatiana's baptism - she is so tiny! |
So first off, we had a baptism yesterday! It was rock solid because we have been working with
this girl since my first week here! She's this little tiny girl named Tatiana and
she's 11 years old. She's super duper (I mean really really) shy to talk to us
and to anyone but she has a solid testimony of the gospel. Five weeks
straight baptizing baby ;)
This week we had a mulit-zone conference over in Liberia which was cool. First, President
called and asked me a bunch of question (it was a really scary test). He asked
me to cite D&C 4:3 (we have that whole section of the scriptures memorized) the commandments,
Book of Mormon Prophets, Latter Day Prophets and an Article of Faith. Man, good thing I
passed! He told me that he was proud of the hard-work I'm doing here in Cañas. I have a ton of respect for that man!
Also, the Assistants (who I didn't know) know me and my comp and say that we're
killing it in Cañas! I guess we're famous or something ;)
Today, we
went to Tilaran to go see the Arenal Volcano which was sick! I saw a ton of
Blue Morpho butterflys and a bunch of cool flowers. The Volcano is huge and
green and gorgeous! I was bummed that you can't climb it - it's VERY active so
it's illegal and apparently dangerous but, you can get really close to it! I finally
saw a pretty part of Costa Rica! Haha it was cool driving through because it's literally the jungle over there. There was all these weird sounds of bugs and
birds and I was in the middle of all of it! I got a couple of cool pictures
taken with some of my buds here in Cañas!
I'm finally able to understand the language here in CR. I can almost always say
exactly what I want to say and I can understand about 90 percent of what
people say to me!
There's
changes this week so I'll probably (I'm hoping), have a new companion here in Cañas!
I've learned some good things from my companion here but let's just say
I'm REALLY ready for a new one haha. I feel like he thinks he's training me or
something. I'll just keep him happy by letting him think that haha ;)
Thank you
everyone for all of the emails, love, and support! It really recharges my
battery for another week of hard work!
Pura Vida y
siga adelante! (keep going) :)

Stott!
