Happy Day

Querida Familia....

Happy Day of love and friendship!!! haha thats what its called here in Costa Rica! its not just about couples but about Friends too and I think that's sweet. I love you guys! Well another cambio has come, but Hermana Mazariegos and I aren't going anywhere:) lucky us we get to stay here in our beautiful Turrialba another transfer, yay!

Well this last week was pretty cool. Our favorite Investigator Adrian got baptized!!! yay yay yay. On Thursday we went over to Hermana Carmen's house with him to watch the movie "the Testament" and it was awesome! The spirit was so powerful and when Jesús came to visit America he had tears rolling out of his eyes. it was the sweetest thing. So Saturday finally came and he got his chance to dress in white! it was like the perfect baptism. The Elders brought one of their investigators, Marcos, who is like a real famous guitar player. He had only heard the song I Feel My Savior's Love 2 times and he already knew how to play it!! so he played for us while we sang and it was so sweet. I'm hoping that they will get married before we have changes again so we both can be here!! Adrian was confirmed on Sunday and also ordained to be a priest:) Yay.

Alfonzo was also confirmed on Sunday. He is just the sweetest old guy! he came to the Adrian's baptism because Adrian had come to his last week and "that's what brothers do". After the baptism he came with us to teach a different recent convert who has been having some problems with café. He encouraged him and cheered him up so much and it was beautiful to see. He said that he's going to make it a priority to come help us teach at least 2 times a week. He also told us about a miracle that happened in his life last week. Last Sunday we told him that he needed to wear a white shirt and tie to church  to be confirmed and he said okay. A few days later he was talking on the pone with his daughter and asking her if she had a long sleeved white shirt he could borrow because he had white shirts but they were all old and short sleeved and he wanted to look just right to receive the Holy Ghost. As he was talking to her he turned around and there on his bed was a brand new, long sleeved white dress shirt:) He says he has no idea where it came from and it was just spread out over his pillow. How aware is the Lord of each of his beloved children! This sweet gentleman has really helped me to become a more compassionate person. He told us that he used to be a drunk and would wander around all night in the streets drinking and doing other things like that.... It made me think of all the guys like that we pass everyday. Sometimes they're stinky or dirty or whatever and it makes me a little sick. but knowing that our Alfonzo was like that, and seeing how he is now gives me hope and a new visión for each of the guys we see in the street now.

Lots of love and prayers for you my dearest family and Friends. youre always in my thoughts and in my heart!

All my love,
Hermana Kugath
