Mission to Paradise: February 24, 2015

Hello!!!!!! :)

This was a great week! We met all of our goals and even passed some of them! I wanted to work double this week to make up for the lost time last week, and we did great! :) We started a fast together as a companionship to find new investigators, and within 2 hours, we found 8 new investigators and 6 of them accepted baptismal dates! It kinda made me want to fast every single day, but then there wouldn´t be a nurse anymore to help the other sick missionaries... So I will still eat. And just work really hard. :) But it was a great miracle!

There was´t anything too new or exciting this week, sorry.... We are working hard to help our investigators be ready to get baptized in March. :) Maybe next week I will have a cool bloody nursing story to share with you...

This week I am going to go get my Cedula!!! That means I will be Tica!!!! Its like their social security card, but mine will only last for one year. :( But one year of being Tica is cool with me! :) Don´t worry, I will send a picture of me being Tica, I am sure. Maybe people will start to think I am from Costa Rica now! ;)

I may or may not have went to Gringo Ally this week and bought a few things to bring home....

I love you lots! Stay happy, healthy, and safe! Do good things!

Love,

Hermana Makensey Beth Markle. :)

Items of business...

1. Katie! Your hair is long!!!! Almost sick-nasty long? You should cut it. ;) That´s a lie, I am just jealous, I miss my hair... Oh and send me a picture of your cool box thing you are making. And other artsy photos if you'd like.

2. Madi! Your hair is still blonde! I forgot about that! Next you should try dark brown. You tried red, medium brown and blonde already. Just don't try the tiger stripes...

3. Kami! Your hair is WAY longer now! Someone said you look like me now.. Carter maybe? Lookin good!! ;) Good job on dancing good!

4. Brandon! Your hair isn't any longer... But still looking good! How is your job??

5. My companion is very sweet and kind and cute and adorable, but does not know how to plan or make decisions for herself. I still try really hard not to make all of the decisions and I am trying really hard to teach her and help her grow. She is very sweet, and we get along great.

6. I think I want to live with Hermana Fowler on BYU campus when I get home... Maybe starting the second semester though... We will see. Or I can live with my sisters in the fun sister apartment if they will let me!!! ?

7. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have a great week! :)

EWWWW!!!!!!! They tried to make me eat this soup!!!! I cant remember what it is called! But it was NASTY!!! It is made with the colon of a cow!!!! I ate the vegetables and drank the broth. And then when our convert left the room, I poured the ´meat´ into my companions bowl. She likes it and ate it for me. I owe her BIG TIME!!!!
