San Jose Pinula

Hey everyone today was a good week and a little bit of a longer week but overall it was good. My new companion is Elder Anthony and he is awesome and we have been getting along well. We have different work styles but we have started to work well together. 

San Jose Pinula is a lot different than what I am used to so it has been a little bit of a transition. It's not a super city but it's more suburbs. where before it was like pretty much a little town in the middle of nowhere. The members here are awesome and the ward had about 115 people at church which was a big change from the 30 people max I was used to seeing in my last 2 areas. It's so cool to see how big the church really is in all parts of the world.

We had lots of success this week finding 14 people this week when last transfer they found 13 people in 6 weeks. so the work is up and going haha. 

This week we met with an inactive member named Javier who has gone from having wonderful family friends and being active in the church to having all of his family leave him. It was a super humbling experience and a sad experience to see him struggle like he is. It really has made me grateful for everything I have, especially my family.

We had a ward cookies scripture activity this week where we made cookies attached scriptures and took them to inactive members or families in need. It was a super fun activity but the people here aren't the best cookie makers.

Members will feed us at least 3 or 4 times a week which has been awesome. cause we would get 1 meal a week in my last two areas. I even got a nice steak this week which was amazing. A lot of the members also speak english which was a really weird change cause if i don't know how to say a word the member can just fill it in in english.

That's all for this week. I miss you all. Please send me a message!
