Another great week in the mission field :) I just want to apologize for not being the best at writing group emails. It’s haaaard. Okay sooo this week... We are teaching two people whose names are Emiselda and Guillermina. They are cuter than cute!! Guillermina is Emiselda’s mom. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Guillermina is literally half of my height. She is so tiny and so adorable. She tells me every time I’m with her, “God bless you,” like 100 times. They are struggling with money but have soo much faith that the Lord will bless them and are so dedicated to their baptismal date which is the 15th of August.

               On Saturday we taught them and we asked Emiselda if she knew for herself if the Book of Mormon is true. She paused for a minute and then said with a huge smile on her face, “I’ve always known it was true.” We testified of what she said and then we changed her baptismal date to a week earlier.

               Maricel is like my best friend in Costa Rica. She is so awesome I love
her. But I get frustrated too because I know that the best gift I can give her is the gospel and she just doesn’t want to accept it. But I’ve been studying the parable of the sower and it changed my point of view and how there really are some who are ready and waiting for the gospel and some who are in the process. It’s sooo hot in my area right now. I hope I don’t get sent to a hot zone. But luckily I’ve only gotten sunburnt one time. But I think my tan
lines are permanent.

               Right now we are working with a lot of less actives. There is a member who is also like a best friend to me and it’s been soo hard for me to not give her things. She got fired and has absolutely nothing. And when we were in her house someone came over and she literally gave them the little that she has. It really was a moment I’ll never forget. Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives that we forget the promise the Lord gives us when we give what we have. I love this work and I can’t imagine my life without the gospel.

   I love you all!!!
