Hey, this is going to be short... just to warn you.
Here is a quick rundown of my day:
I woke up at 5:00am
Got on a bus at 8:00
Got dropped off in the middle of the rainforest at 9:00
Hiked an hour and a half down to some crazy sick waterfalls
Ate some sandwiches at 12:00
Chilled for about another hour
Sprinted back uphill for 3 miles to catch the bus at 2:30 and almost died in the process
So
yeah... my day has been pretty crazy, but it has been really fun! I
love being in such a beautiful country that has so many pretty places to
offer!
Also.. thanks to everyone who sent me
birthday wishes... I don't have time to respond to all of them
individually, but thanks a bunch!
September 15 is independence
day here so in Perez Centro there was a huge parade and lot's of cool
stuff to see. The youth in the branch had a big food sale to raise money
for EFY so we helped out and got to see the parades and everything!
Then afterwards, the branch all got together and surprised me with a
cake! They all sang to me and we played charades and it was a really
good birthday.
Here in costa Rica they have 2 birthday
traditions: one where they break eggs on your head for every year that
you complete (I narrowly avoided that one) and the second is where the
birthday person has to take a bite out of the cake without anyone
shoving your face into it... I almost did it... two young women got me
really good though and I spent about 5 minutes fishing frosting out of
my nose. haha
All in all this week was a success. I hope everything is going well with you out in the real world!
Much love!

A lady sent this picture a year ago to me on FB messenger and I just saw it.
It is of Chase at the temple.
