Hello world,
Yes today is Saturday. We changed our p-day to today because it is mothers day in Costa Rica and my companion didnt talk with her family in May so she is talking as I write.
This past week has been crazy. That is the only word that fits the discription. We finished out p-day last week going to the mission office to meet up with missionaries to do intercambios because early the next morning a group was going to Santo Domingo to get their residence card. I would have been going if I didnt go home. But we waited at the office for Hermana Grange because my comp Hermana Belvis supposedly had a doctors appointment and had to wait for her, but we didnt go to the doctors but we did get a ride from Hermana Grange. Then we met up with Hermana Salazar and Hermana Richardson for one lesson.
Thursday Hermana Salazar and Hermana Belivs went and proselyted and I am Hermana Richardson stayed in the house until the missionaries got back to the mission office and then we went there to meet up with them.
Friday we went to a ruta office because Hermana Salazar left a notebook in a ruta so we went to get it. We only had three lessons today.
Saturday was a better day with lessons.
Sunday we had lunch at the Vega familys house. We have pasta it was really tasty. Then we had three lessons and then had an activity in the church a night of testimonies it was really cool to hear the conversion stories of the members.
Monday we had a zone conference in Villa Olga. All the missionaries were here but Presidente wasnt yet so we opened the gate and the church since we have the keys. We had muffins for breakfast and pizza for lunch. Our zone cleaned the bathrooms. We got in trouble by our bishop because we are missionaries and the building was dirty from the conference. So he gave us and the elders the job to clean the building. That night we had a Family Home Evening with Laura and Angela investigators and familia Noble members. It was a total success!! Hope they get to church on Sunday.
Tuesday we had transfer meeting at McDonalds and Hermana Salazar and I are staying here in Villa Olga. I am going to be here last companion because she goes home at the end of this transfer. I have great fear of what will happen at the end of this transfer. Then we had 2 lessons and went to the church to have our meeting but our ward mission leader didnt show up and we had to go to the house to get this in order because some newbies were going to stay at out house because there isnt room in the mission home. They are from California and Washington. They both know my story thanks to the internet. They were all oh youre that missionary!!! I was alll yeah Im that missionary.
Wednesday we got a ride in the truck to the bus stop because Hermana Salazar needed to get her passport so she could get money that was sent to her. Then we went to our recent converts house named Carlos. All I am going to say is please pray for him. Then two more lessons that day.
Thursday we did weekly planning. We only had one lesson today. We walked a lot and contacted a lot it was hard. This morning I called to see if I got a package from the UofU Burn Therapy Department and a few hours lated they called and said they just got it. So they brought it over that night. I got my new compression socks but there were wrong. I was REALLLY bummed about that because I really need them because the ones I have are stretching out a lot.
Friday Hermana Grange came to the house so that I could call the Burn Therapy and get things figured out. I talked with the last guy I worked with and he remembered what we did. So I am having them sent back so they can add in what is missing and send the two that they didnt put in the package. Today was a hard day. We cleaned the church at 8 at night so we wouldnt have to early the next morning.
Saturday today we went to another area because one of our recent coverts family lives there and we visited with them then we came back to Villa Olga and got the computers and came to the church to use the internet. One computer didnt have skype so we called the Granges because we had asked them earlier and they said sure if you need it. So they brought it over and Elder Grange is fixing a few things in the house as we write and she talks.
This week has been hard. I was reading the in the Book of Mormon in 2 Nephi chapter 4 verses 17-24 it kind of gave me a slap in the face. Things will get better. I will do my best and the blessing will come.
Love you all!! Be good!!!
Todo Bien!!!
Hermana Buchanan
