Familia,

 

I AM IN COSTA RICA!!!!!!!! For P-Day we went and saw the waterfalls in La Paz! And I finally feel like I am actually in Costa Rica!!! :) An amazing member in our ward took us! It was great, I highly recommend it. You even get a discount if you are a missionary. :) We saw monkeys, poisonous frogs, ant-eaters, jaguars, toucans, parrots, giant spiders, snakes, and all of the other cool animals that Costa Rica has that I have never seen here before! Don't worry, we were still missionaries while being tourists. We ran into a few members from Dallas, Texas and Holiday, Utah, missionaries from another church from Minnesota, and lots and lots of other people to talk to from all over the world! Not many will be going to church with us this Sunday, but maybe when they get home from their vacations they will find a building in their home towns!

 

I AM SOO EXCITED FOR CONFERENCE!!! Being in Escazu means I get to listen in English. :) I would be fine listening in Spanish, I almost understand most things... But last conference left me scarred, I think I will just go strait to English... I remember watching my companions taking really good notes and loving what the Prophet said, while I sat there wanting to cry because I had no idea what was going on....... Hahaha missionary problems. I am so grateful I have had so much help with learning Spanish and I don't feel like crying anymore. :) The Gift of Tongues is amazing and I know that my Heavenly Father loves me. :) I hope you all get to watch conference this week in your native tongue! ENJOY! :)

 

Oh we did have the chance to watch the Women's Conference this week. It was nice. But I almost called President afterwards to tell him that I need to go home, get married, and start a family, right now. (just teasing!) It talked a lot about the family! It was beautiful and I am excited, but maybe they should not let missionaries listen to that! Hahaha. But my sisters are allowed to listen! :) (Not you Kami). (But wait until I get home to get married!). :) I am grateful we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and gave us the opprotunity to have families here on the earth. I love my family. :) But I really like how they talked about how we are all part of our Heavenly Father´s family, and we should be loving and helping all of our siblings. And God helps his children through his other children so we can all learn and grow. :)

 

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! :) Save me some chocolate! Or just send me some! ;) I will accept any reject Easter eggs.

 

I am excited to be sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ during this Easter Season. :) I heard there is a good Easter video you should all go watch about Christ. And share it with all of your friends. :) HAPPY EASTER! :) Happy Conference!!! :)

 

I love you all!
