This is week 6 for me and I am still holding on strong! I am loving spanish and learning it. It really is super interesting why the Lord calls certain people to certain places. I found out this week that my mission, Costa Rica, is being split in June and I have been stoked about that! The others in my district who are going to Costa Rica as well complain that they won't be able to go through out the entire country but I am so excited because that means that the people of Costa Rica are wanting to learn the Gospel, so many that they need more missionaries. The Lord's work is speeding up and we all need to be a part of it and try our hardest to set good examples to everyone to plant that seed of faith in the minds of others so when the missionaries come knock on their door, they are ready to hear from them. I am so thankful for all the support and prayers I have received. 

On Sunday I spoke in sacrament meeting about Repentance in Spanish and i bore a very strong testimony on it as well. Todos en espanol. It was great. Then we had to do sacrement meeting for the employees and so I spoke in there as well. Both talks were the same talk just one in english the other in Spanish. The one in English though a lady came up to me and said "you said something that I really needed to hear" and that was really strong to me because no one has really done that.

Tomorrow I have two Really awesome friends coming to the MTC and I really hope I can see and talk to them because the MTC can be a stressful experience. Last week we had Elder Nelson speak to us, again we had him for Christmas too. I loved listening to him with his great advice and comments. I did take notes but I don't have them with me. 

This morning we went to the Temple at 6:00 again  which means we had to wake up at 5:00 just to be able to get to the Temple and get clothes in time, but we were a lil late due to the size of our group. We got two new districts last week which added 18 new members to our zone of 8 people which was our only district. But luckily there is a session every 20 min so it wasn't a big deal. Oh then we got breakfast at the Temple which is Super good!

So I have two weeks from yesterday until I am heading to Costa Rica!!! I am so excited but it is still not real to me that I'll will be going there. We watched Meet the Mormons on Sunday and watching the Costa Rica part is just so beautiful and I am so excited to leave the MTC and start the work and stories. AHHH I'm so Excited!!! Its crazy!!!

Love You All
