Dearest Familia.....
2 and a half weeks till Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) Yay!
Okay well let me tell you all about these crazy transfers we had! My new companion is named Hermana Mazariegos:) she’s from Guatemala- somewhere in the South- haha I can't remember the name. She is the cutest, tiniest, funnest, happiest, youngest companion I’ve ever had. We get along really well and things are going to be excellent here! My new area is called Turrialba. It’s in Zona Cartago and about 2 to 2 and a half hours away from San José. (I’m finally out of the city!). My area is beautiful. So much green things all around and so much mountains. Its like they landed me in the Rexburg of Costa Rica. Were surrounded by mountains (and volcanoes!) (except our Idaho ones are DORMANT!) and we live in this beautiful valley. There’s a huge river that cuts through the middle of our area and so we get to cross it every day. Sometimes the bridges are a little sketchy but its okay. Our chapel is under construction right now so were currently meeting in a high school gym. It’s a little different but it’s definitely an experience! There are 2 other elders in our area and it’s a good thing because our area is GIGANTIC!!!! I mean wow is it big. We have to travel 1 hour to get to district meeting and 2 to get to zone meetings, which is kind of a pain, but there’s worse things. The area is so big that we talk to many more people daily. My house....... could use a little work. We actually get to look for a new one because everything in the old one is broken (we have to turn the shower on with a wrench, the toilet is kinda a mini disaster, etc.) so that’s awesome cause we get to pick out where well be living! Also my cook is a dream!!! I was worried about leaving Gravilias because our cook there always spoiled us with fruit and vegetables etc. but Maribel is just as excellent! Every day we get meat and fruit and even sometimes dessert! But no worries there’s so much walking to do that it doesn’t stay around long. I’m super excited about working here because the ward is great! We have a great ward mission leader who’s really excited and a lot of support from the leaders (just something funny, the counselor of the bishop is named Juan Bautista or John Baptist Haha).
We have some really great investigators and people to work with. One of my favorites is named Bella (her name means beautiful Haha!). I’ve noticed something beautiful about her and about the other investigators here, when we enter the house they turn off the TV, they pull out their scriptures and they’re just well ready. It’s awesome! We don’t even tell them, they just know! My companion has done an excellent work in this area and I’m very excited to get to work here with her as we elevate ourselves to a new level of missionary work.
Anyways, I’m running a little short on time here so I gotta run, but just know that im happy, healthy, and loving the mission. If I could ask for one thing it would be please pray for me to be able to sleep at night, I’ve been waking up tired and its hard to focus and give my all when I’m so tired. Thanks:). Well I love you all, I miss you all, and I can't wait for Christmas!!!!! Yay:) prayers from Costa Rica!
All my Love,
Hermana Kugath
