This week has been crazy.
Elder Palencia
and I have been working hard and have had some cool experiences because
of it. This week has been pretty rainy and we have done a lot of
walking, but it's been worth it with the amount of new people that we
have found.
During the week nothing too interesting happened... but the weekend was super exciting! Saturday at 8:00 Luis
got baptized! After his baptism he gave a really nice testimony and
then the next day he received the priesthood and the holy ghost!
After
church on Sunday we got a call from a member that said that her 14 year
old daughter that lives far away has been seeing and hearing strange
things... and that she thinks that her house has a weird evil spirit.
Soo... jokingly I said.. "well it looks like you're in luck, because I
have been practicing my Latin and just restocked on my holy water, so
lets do an exorcism!!" And she thought I was serious... so we walked
two and a half hours through the rainforest, battling high humidity, the
occasional rainfall, and bugs the size of my head until we finally
arrived to a quaint little shack of a house. Once inside we enjoyed a
quick little lesson about the sacrament then got down to business. I did
the anointing and my comp did the blessing. While we were doing the
blessing she started falling forward a little bit and we had to hold her
up. Once we finished she started bawling and it kind of freaked her
family out because they said that she never cries. Then she said that
she wanted to throw up but couldn't... it was weird.. Then I blessed the
house and got out of there.
Also.. today for p-day we went to
the beach! Its called Dominical. It was my first time going to the
Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It rained the whole time... but it was
still lots of fun! I made a mini missionary out of rocks and we (the
sisters, my comp and I) played volleyball!
Well... I ran out of time. I hope that you all have a wonderful week and remember to say your prayers!!
