Pinguinos🐧

No sorry there aren't any actual penguins here in Costa Rica. Pretty devastating. But there are those ding dong cup cakes from the states that they have renamed pinguinos basically. Super good, bought some from the store just now. Would recommend.

Other than that it's just been kinda pouring this morning and as of recently. And when it's not pouring its pretty hot so just getting used to sweating has just been quite an interesting mission. And as always, we have our amazing friend Juan who has been coming to church for 8 weeks now, has all of the lessons except for Temples, and lives everything right, but doesn't feel ready for baptism, it's not like I've never seen that before, but it's fine.🫥 He will be baptized soon enough🌊

As for me, tomorrow is transfer day when I write this, been here in Guacimo for 6 months almost, don't know what's gonna happen but it's been quite a wild ride. I am grateful for the Lord's refining fire and forging hand in my life, as well as some absolutely awesome times and relationships that I've been able to have. I like a quote that mentions regarding these relationships, that the people who we come in contact with are truly immortal beings, or better said, there spirits are immortal, destined to be housed one day within an immortal frame through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. So those people that we get along with and love, they will be there a while. And the ones that maybe don't connect so well, just as long. Could be time to work on those relationships. Hoping to do the same.

Ok ok ok, alright, so we went to a waterfall today as a district. Absolute blast, it's called Las Golondrinas. Would recommend if you're gonna swing by Costa Rica any time soon👀 but yeah so there was this guy there that had all of these little dogs following him. But most of the little dogs we meet are like vicious monsters basically so that was cool😳

I really liked studying the book of Mormon this week, studying it has been a strong foundation for the truth of this church. Being able to read the Book of Mormon had been a blessing of peace for me on the mission that I don't think I could replace. Would recommend reading the BofM when you are having a struggle or too many thoughts in your head.

I'm still here, believe it or not👀

ok, so yeah, it is a problem. I am really not one to be writing these emails as like a weekly right but... yeah, we are out here fr fr. Still in the same area that I was in when I sent the last email to be honest. Not too crazy, pretty cool place. Lots of jungle. I have seen some sloth walking on power lines that has been quite an experience, literally mid lesson. pretty epic

Other than that, I have really loved studying the teachings of President Thomas S Monson. I know that God is a God of Justice. We will be judged for our works.(Revelation 20:12) We will receive the recompense of our actions that we choose to take. Don't slack off.💪

However, through the love of our redeemer, Jesus Christ, God is also a God of Mercy. Do all that you can. Then stand still, with the utmost assurance that the hand of God will redeem you. In fact it already has redeemed you, you are completely covered, He just requires the token of your commitment, the best you can do, you're all. (2 Nephi 25:23) Love you guys

Please, send me an email, I'd love to talk to you a little better.
