Hola everyone!
Another week here in beautful Costa Rica!
I don't have a ton of time to write this, but this week was a huge improvement from last week mission work wise. One of our investigators, Mario, committed to be baptized on the 22nd of this month!! I'm so excited for him, especially since he has been an investigator for about a year I think. He has had some struggles in his life, but I know this baptism will be such a huge blessing to him in his life. We also contacted some new areas this week and almost every single person let us in to talk to them! It was so great and I think we will be able to find success with these areas.
Also this week we got to do some service for one of our investigators. Our job was to clear this ivy stuff from this hillside by their house and what was our gardening tool? A machete haha! It was so awesome and just a little bit different than doing yard work at home haha.
Other than that I can't think of anything else too exciting that happened this week. It was a great week overall and I'm so excited for this week and hopefully me and Elder Batres can really get the working going here again. The language is still really tough, but I know I will get it eventually. Elder Batres is pushing me to participate in the lessons more, whether I like it or not haha. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people here in Costa Rica. It is amazing to watch people grow closer to their Savior and come unto Him. The mission is hard sometimes but it has been such a blessing in these 3 short months that I have been here.
I hope everyone has a great week this week!
Love,
Elder Smith
