Semana 30: Transfers!!!: 2/6/17



Hey everyone!
I hope everyone had a great week this last week! This last week was crazy! But to start off... I finally got transfered from my first area! I´m headed for Santo Domingo (Holy Sunday) de Heredia!!! And guess who my companion is... Elder Canul!!! My companion that I was with before Elder Navas.  I thought the zone leaders were just kidding when they told me.  I wasn´t expecting to get transferred at all because Elder Navas is going home, but that´s why transfers are crazy.  I´m writing to you from San José so I can´t tell you how my new area is until next week because I still haven´t been there yet haha. 
But apart from that, this week was really good, but stressful as well.  We had to travel a bunch this week for different stuff so I was barely in Puriscal.  But... We had 3 more baptisms this week!!! Technically they were baptisms for the Sisters in our area, but they were my investigators orignially.  They´re named Yaosca (try to prounouce that), Alison, y María Milagros.  Yaosca is 23 and has been baptized like 5 different times so it was a little challenging to convice her that she needed to be baptized again, but she´s super awesome and is going to be a great member of the church.  Alison is her sister who is 9, and María Milagros is the friend of Alison and is 8.  And all of them are friends with Jennifer and Elizabeth (the two girls that we baptized back in December on Christmas). 
Other than that nothing too exciting happened.  It was my birthday on Friday! I didn´t really do anything the day of but I got to celebrate a little bit the next day.  I had cake, and then they cracked eggs over my head (apparently that's a thing here).  I had a video but I accidentally deleted it... But thank you so much to everyone that wished me a happy birthday!! I feel old (20 years old) haha. 
I hope everyone has a great week this week!

P.s. Probably won{t be able to respond to many of you sorry!! But thank you so much for writing me!
