all the hermanas in my zone :)

Hi Family!! :) First off I would love to hear from Sam Thomas and Jake!! I haven’t heard from you guys in a while and I feel like if I don’t make this public they won’t email me. :) love you! Anyway… this week was good. It looks like everyone had a great Thanksgiving and that makes me really happy. :) I smiled very big when I saw all the pictures. Wow you guys got the lights up already!! Very proud of you :) Will you send a pretty picture of our house when it snows so I can show the members? They want to see our house and snow haha.

Sooo Thanksgiving doesn’t exist here... I actually forgot it was Thanksgiving until I wrote in my journal that night. How sad I know. But before you cry for me you have to know that I really had the best Thanksgiving EVER!!! Gosh Thursday was such a sick day!! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!

So we were walking down the street saying hi to everyone that passed by. Then this family across the street said hi to us so we said hi back and then they like wanted to talk to us so we were like ahh okay sweet. So we crossed the street and went to talk to them. We ended up going to their house and teaching them. Heavenly Father has definitely prepared this family. Wow they are amazing. They live in a house where the floor is dirt and not a lot of space. Which is reeeaaalllly unfortunate because the rains like none other and so it’s like you are living in mud. But it was so cozy I really loved it. Anyway pretty much this family was the most receptive people I’ve met in my mission so far. They listen. Which doesn’t happen a lot here. Ahhh I love Costa Rican people!! But as we were leaving their house and a dog that is like the size of my companion almost ate us I’m not kidding. It was probably one of the scariest moments in my life. And now that I have told you about it I don’t want to think about that dog ever again.

This week was Rogers Baptism :) The spirit was so incredible strong. And now they are preparing for the temple in a year :) Yay!!

On Monday as a zone we went to Monte de la Cruz. I went there my first transfer but they wanted to go again. It’s like a mountain with a big cross on it. I don’t really know what it stands for but it’s a very pretty place and it was fun to get to know my zone more. This month we had a huge goal for 200 baptisms in the mission. And on Sunday we got a text from the zone leaders saying that we were short 2 baptisms and to pray really hard for these two specific people. That night we got a text saying we made our goal yaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!! :) Not one more or less!! Exactly 200!! Every missionary in Costa Rica got on our knees at 10:15 that night and thanked our Heavenly Father for this miracle!! I know that mission calls are truly inspired from God. And I’m so glad Heavenly Father wanted to send me here :) I love you all so much and am praying for you always :)
