March First

Holy Cow. So right now I am sitting in an internet cafe in a town named Santa Cruz. Yes, I did have transfers and that ended my training for Elder Portillo. But the news now is that I am about a five hour bus ride away from San Jose and my last area. It´s like 7 PM and I am sweating my grass off. My new area is in the northwest side of Costa Rica. Santa Cruz isn´t really a city but more of a big town. The ward is actually a branch and the house is a piece of dump and we pay 20 dollars more than my last house! Sooo much needs to change right now. But yeah, I am training a new missionary...again. So I am with an Elder Dwiggings waiting for our companions. We are going to spend the night in his area, Nicoya, then Wednesday we go back to San Jose to pick up the newbs. I hope I get someone like my last comp. Haha. Just more humble. So I am in an area not know by me and I will be training a new missionary here. Sweet. I hope we baptize a ton. Make this branch a ward. But yeah. I think the last missionaries here were pieces too. One ended his mission here and he wasnt very obedient so I hope the members can deal with the change of attitude. I didnt even dare unpack my stuff cause it was so dirty. When my new comp comes we are going to spend however long is necessary to clean up then we are going to unpack, then we are going to start working with the members. I dont know how to start this out, it´s almost like opening an area. If anyone could give me tips, email me. God really is going to be the one guiding all of this, but being his instrument I have to be tuned to what he needs. I hope I fill the slot.
Man. Pray for me. Love you all. Follow the prophets and you wont go astray.
