Well...this week passed, and right now I can't remember anything that happened. Hmmm let's think.
Sunday an American couple that lives in our ward, the Maxwells, invited us to eat lunch after church. Well we all piled in there car and started what ended up being an hour and a half car ride. When we finally arrived at their house they did have any food ready and so we had to wait about another 1 and a half for it to cook. When we finally got home it was about 6 pm. Another bad thing is we went with couple missionary as well that are serving in Liberia, an area about 2 hours away from Nicoya. They probably didn't get home until 8 or 9.
Being as we lost a lot of time Sunday we decided to end our p-day early yesterday so we could work a little longer. If the Maxwells invite us to their house again it will have to be on a p-day, because we wasted way too much time! (We didn't know they lived so far away!). However, I was able to give a Book of Mormon away to one of the Maxwell's neighbors. He's a young man named Jonatan, or something like that, and he seemed super special and interested in reading it.
It sounds like you all had a blast in DC without me. Mom sent me a couple pictures, but send me more!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE.
One of the miracles we had was that on Saturday we went to visit a fairly new family of investigators, Luis and Roci. When we arrived Roci's mom was there too. We started talking and it turns out that Roci's mom, Ritsy is a member. She was baptized about 30 years ago and has been inactive for about that long as well. However she has a lot of good memories from attending church. She told us before she moved away and left the church she was preparing to serve a mission. We told her she could still serve one, as all of her children are grown up, and she was really excited. She then told us that she was going to come to church Sunday and bring Roci and Luis. It was an awesome experience. Although they didn't end up coming to church yesterday, they all slept in, I have a lot of hope for this family!
Our cook, Marisol, isn't a member, her whole family are catholic. However, they are really great people and I know that Lord wants them to eaccept the restored gospel. We've started teaching Marisol the missionary lessons everyday at lunch (unbeknownst to her). She doesn't like to be preached to if it's not in the Bible, but we've been using a lot of strategy. Mwahaha.
Transfers have been moved to Friday, as two area seventy are coming to speak to us. All of the missionaries have to be in San Jose in a stake center at 8:30 am Friday morning, (Many with suitcases). We don't know if either of us have transfers, but for sure we are going to have to take a bus at 3 am. Woot.
Love you all!
¡Pura Vida!
