Best Ever!

The Costa Rican Temple!!! pretty pretty pretty

This week was the best ever ever ever!!! I love it here so much! Some days I just go home and feel like someone better deserves all these miracles I see every day. A lot happened this week. We got to go to the temple and I’ll just say it seriously was an experience I’ll never forget. The temple is so beautiful. 

We hiked this waterfall today. So beautiful!!

Today for p-day we went to this way pretty place.

One day this week we were walking to this appointment and my companion just stopped and said you know we should go visit Venessa. I was thinking are you crazy, that it was 30 minutes away to visit with a member that we can visit tomorrow when we are in that area. But I just went with it and clearly found out why she felt we should. Venessa had one of our investigators over. She literally had probably said 10 words to us before. She is just really shy. So we had a lesson with them and just wow. She somehow opened up and just kept saying I want to be baptized so bad. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Another time this week we were contacting in the one area that just doesn’t have very many people, so I just said to my companion lets go visit Margorie (a member) so we were walking and all of a sudden my companion just turned around. So I was like okay haha. She started talking to these three women. And I still don’t really know exactly what happened but all I know was the spirit was sooo strong. They kept asking questions and we would answer the best we could but really the spirit did all the work. After my companion said, “Hermana your Spanish was perfect in that lesson.” But seriously my Spanish is at total different levels when I’m in a lesson than when I’m just talking to my companion. Truly the gift of tongues is so real. 

Joseph is 10 and his family aren't members but he lives with is cousins who are and his mom finally gave him permission to be baptized. It was a great day!

I had my first two baptisms this week :) I honestly feel so honored to be able to watch people that I have come to love so much make a choice that will bless their life forever. Ana and Joseph taught me more than I’ll ever be able to teach them. Everyone is placed into your life for a reason its soo true. The closer Ana´s baptism got the more Satan really was working on her, but really just strengthened her more. So in your face Satan. (Sorry if that’s mean) but really it’s just evidence that she was making the right choice.

Ana and Anna :)

I love this lady!

There are definitely days that are rough but really I’m glad it’s hard because it makes it so much more rewarding. Time is going by waaay too fast it’s scaring me but there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of my family and friends. I love you all so so so so much :) Sorry I’m out of time but I pray for you all and am more grateful for you every day that goes by!!

Love always,

Hermana Fowler

She is so funny and she is going to UVU after the mission.
