December 23, 2014

Family,

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!! Two more days!!! I hope you all have the best Christmas ever!!! :) I am LOVING Christmas time here in Costa Rica! Everyone is so nice, they are willing to listen to messages about Jesus Christ, and we are having great success! Good thing I get to have two Christmases in the mission!

Virginia was baptized this week! This was a miracle! The story is too long to share, but just know that it was a miracle. And you can ask me about it when I get home. ;) I know you all love hearing mission stories from returned missionaries, don't lie!
This week we had a mission Christmas Devotional slash Dinner slash Temple Night. It was great! We might have gotten home at 11:30pm though... Oops... BUT! President Wilkinson gave us something very special for Christmas this year. He received permission form the First Presidency to make this announcement.... This July they are splitting the mission!!!!!! Costa Rica San Jose West and Costa Rica San Jose East!!!!! An Apostle will reassign each of us to a new mission soon! I have no idea which one I will go to, or if I will be training a new nurse soon, but I am excited! The work and the gospel is progressing fast here!! :)
I love you all!! Merry Christmas! :) Stay safe and happy and healthy!!
Love,
Hermana Markle. :)
