Hello,
I was suuuuper tired and worn out from the week before. I was
seriously dragging. Today I finally got to catch up on my sleep and I am doing better!
This week
our investigators are doing alright, not
progressing as much I would like them to be... but they are good. We are
really trying to find new investigators. It's hard to find people
that are willing to listen to you here in the city.
I do have
some exciting news though!! We have two missionaries that are serving
like 10 hours away from the mission office near the Panama border. It's a
really touristy place because it's a huge jungle rainforest. One
of the missionaries down there called the office and told me that they
just ran into Jon Schmidt (the pianist from the Piano Guys) down in
their area. I thought it was pretty cool that they got to meet him, but
didn't really think that much more of it. Well, last night I got a random
call on my phone and when I answered it some Gringo started talking to
me. It was him! He said that he wanted to do a little fireside for some
of the missionaries and their investigators and wanted to see if we
could set something like that up for tomorrow. Of course we said yes and
got to work. Well we called the Stake Music Coordinator (who happens to
be a BIG piano guys fan) and she blew this activity waaaay out of
proportion. She got the best church piano shipped to our stake center,
made brochures, and invited pretty much all of Costa Rica. It ended up
getting so big that I just got off the phone with Elder Cordon, a member
of the general 70, who was asking me all sorts of details about this
"Countrywide Fireside".... I had no idea it was going to get this big.
He explained that he thought it was a great opportunity but had to get
it approved by the proper brethren with the keys over these kinds of
things, so he called Elder Duncan of the Area Seventy to get permission.
It's now all set up and an official church sponsored activity that got
thrown together in about 4 hours. hahaha I have no idea how its all
going to go down and I'm supposedly the one who set it up! I also just
got done talking with Jon Schmidts wife on FaceTime and we are going to
pick them up from the San Jose Mariott at 3 tomorrow to take them to the
fireside. I have no idea exacly how I got involved in this or how it's
going to turn out but it sure is exciting!
Well sorry I dont have much more to tell you about... I will try to make next weeks a little more interesting!
Have a fantastic week!
