Hi family!!

               Soo the rain season is definitely back. You’d think I’d learn my lesson by now but nope. Once again we got stuck in the rain for hours without an umbrella. I know I say this every time but really this week’s rainstorm was by far the worst. It’s different here in Guanacaste because the roads aren’t pavement they are dirt so it’s a little more interesting. But it got as high as our knees. I love when it rains though because it’s a great way of getting into houses :)

 

Hermana Hubler and I with Fernanda in this beautiful river.

               Hermana Hubler and I have been just enjoying life. It’s interesting because ever since we have gotten together we literally have had sooo many trials. But I love it because we look back and just laugh so hard. This week we were walking home and we had had a tougher day, one of our solid investigators said that he didn’t want to come back to church, then
Fernanda drank coffee and Jasinta didn’t show up to her baptismal interview. Oh and that was the day we got soaked.

               Anyway we were walking home and we were laughing for some reason and we just looked at each other and Hermana Hubler said to me, “how are we still so happy?” I really am so grateful for her. It’s nice being around someone that has the same humor and laughs at my not so smart moments.

               So with Fernanda and coffee... She is obsessed. We were able to do a fast with her and actually our whole district did it together for her and ever since she hasn’t drank. She is such a smart girl. When we teach her she really gives all her attention and it’s so amazing to be able to see the spirit work through her. She has had a really hard family life and so going to church makes her feel like she has a family.

               Two weeks ago we were talking to a guy while we were waiting for the bus. We invited him to church and he said he would come. And he did. Fun fact. Ticos are all soo chill but so chill that they almost always say they’ll do something but have a hard time keeping their word. But this time he really came :) And he loooved it. We weren’t able to visit him this week because we couldn’t get ahold of him and he lives so far away but this Sunday he came again. After we had a lesson with him and he told us how his whole life he has never been part of a church and has never ever wanted to be part of a church either. But know that he is attending this church we has never been so happy. He said how he wants to be a member and wants to get baptized soon. The Lord is preparing his children!! The field is white and ready to harvest :) I’ve got to go but I love you all and love this gospel!!!!
