Dearest Familia,
Hey Y'All...
Oh my good lands! the lord has opened the windows of heaven and poured out a blessing so great that there’s literally not room enough to receive it... and by blessing I mean rain. This past week has been crazy! every day it has poured for hours on end. Not that I don’t love being sopping wet and all, but I just really don’t love it. I know that Costa Rica needs the weather and that so many people have been praying for rain, but its a serious pain in the booty for missionaries. Apart from being soaked and freezing all day no one wants to stop and talk to us and no one wants to let us in, but the Lord always provides a way! One day we were walking through the little drizzle when it started to rain really heavily. we ducked into a little ice cream shop to wait it out for a few minutes when rain started to come in through the roof! we got buckets and brooms and helped the shop owners to clean out the water that was pouring in. Later when it finally stopped we invited them to church and gave them a pamphlet about the restoration and in return they gave us free ice cream:) ush! hopefully they’ll become investigators so we can frequent their shop haha.
Anyways, this week has been sort of a bummer. the rain sort of washing away our spirits a bit and also having a small affect on our health (just the beginning of a cold mama don’t worry) so we asked our DL if he could give us blessings to help us. In the Blessing he promised us both that through our faith we would see miracles.. Let me just tell you a few of the miraculous things we saw happen!
1. Y’all should be really proud. my comp and I are living examples of a harmonious companionship. So we don’t have anyone in the ward who plays piano during sacrament and it sort of bothered us so we sort of called ourselves as ward pianist. between the two of us (Hermana turner playing the left hand and me playing the right) we can get through the majority of hymns! this was our first week that we played in church and it was awesome!! we practiced a little but we were still super nervous, but the Lord helped us and we played each song nearly perfect:) it was a miracle because the music really helped us to feel the spirit more during the meeting.
2. One time I was wearing my companions white/cream skirt and I dropped a mango on it and there was a HUGE stain :( we forgot to take it to get washed last week but today when we looked at it the stain had totally disappeared!
3. The Lord blessed us hugely this weekend and gracias a el and also the members we had 9 investigators!! 9:):):) that’s the most I’ve ever had in my whole mission! the members were bringing their friends and boyfriends and family members and we even had some members go pick up other investigators (including 2 of the daughters from the big family of 11!!) Were super excited because they all had a great time and said they’d be coming back, with their families, for a session of conference:) woohoo way to go team!
Anyways, that’s pretty much a rundown of my week here. love and miss all yall back home! I’m super duper excited because in this next week we get to go to the temple and go to conference! I love conference. but I LOVE it. I hope each of you can do your best to be present (physically, mentally, spiritually, etc.) for all the sessions of conference. it is SO important. listen and the follow the words of our living prophets, they will literally guide and direct us so that we are safe and happy. they’re called of God after all! and don’t forget to think of me too;) just sayin.. love you lots!!! prayers from Costa Rica<3
All My Love,
Hermana Kugath
