Well this week I have been sick with a really annoying cold... it's not too bad, but it's really been hard to focus. It seems like every time I have to take the trip up to San Jose I always get sick afterwards. In between Perez and San Jose there is a hill called "Cerro de la muerte" or death hill. It's called that because its so cold there that when the people were building the freeway through there lots of people froze to death. Whenever you go to San Jose the bus stops on the hill for 30 minutes and I think the big temperature change always messes me up.
This week I have been focusing a lot on a cool video that I
watched talking about the importance of adapting to the changes that the
Lord gives us. Here is the link if you'd like to check it out:
In
life and in the mission sometimes the Lord throws some curveballs at
you. Just when you think that everything is going in the right direction
and everything is cool, Boom, something happens. I have had to learn to
adapt to the changes that He gives me and move forward with what I
have. It really doesn't matter what others think or say about me, as long
as I know that my Heavenly Father is proud of what I'm doing!
In
other news, this week one of the youth from our branch left to go to
his mission in Peru! I got to talk at his farewell party about my
mission and what I thought about it. It was pretty fun! And then later
that night he baptized his cousin that we have been teaching.
Also,
the Phillipino lady that we have been teaching...? Last week I put a
baptism date for this month and she said that she would talk to her
boyfriend about it. Well, she went to the baptism this week and said
that she talked to her family about her own baptism. She said that she
wants to get baptized!! BUT her future in laws say that they want to be
there when she gets baptized.. so she will get baptized in a couple of
months when she goes to the States. It's a bittersweet feeling haha she's
going to get baptized which is awesome, but I was really looking forward
to having an English baptism here in Costa Rica. haha
