Hello!!!! :) Buenas tardes! This was a great week! I still miss Escazú but I love my new ward! The members here are great! :) And we are meeting all sorts of great people to teach here! We even had a baptism this Sunday!
San Francisco is right next to the mission office! The mission office is actually in our boundaries, so that makes things really easy... I got a call from President Wilkinson this week to tell me that he wanted to put me in the West mission, but after some thought, he made a prayerful decision to put me in the East mission. :) He submitted his prayerful decisions to the First Presidency, and I think they approved most and maybe changed a few. But for now, I should be staying in the East! The West will not have a mission nurse for a bit... But the Mission Presidents wife will do her best. And she, and all of the missionaries in the West will have my number. ;)
Concepción is in the East, Escazú is in the West, and San Francisco is in the East. So at least I had a chance to serve in both missions before the split! The West mission will have their office in Escazú, and their President will live close to Escazú... So maybe I will get to visit them once or twice and visit Escazú! ;) But the East will keep their office here in my area. I think the Hospital is actually in the West mission, as well as the Temple.... But I am sure we will have permission to still use both. :)
I love my new companion, Hermana Ramírez! She is great! We get along great and are already friends. :) This will be a good transfer. We are both ready to work hard together to strengthen this ward! So far, so good! We do walk a lot faster now though... And we don't take buses very often... My legs hurt. And I am sooo tired every night.... But it is good exercise and we are getting a lot more done. :) Maybe I will finally lose all the weight I have gained!
All is well! I hope all is well with all of you! Have a fantastic week! LOVE YOU!
Hermana Markle. :)

| Jocelyn's Baptism. Her boyfriend is a returned missionary, and introduced her to the gospel and invited her to listen to the missionaries. I've only been here long enough to teach her a few times before her baptism. She is awesome! |

| Our fun lunch with Elder and Hermana Sparks in Escazu - just before leaving for my transfer to San Francisco. The Sparks serve in the temple in San Jose. They visited our ward on Sunday, then took us all out to eat on Monday. They are so good to the missionaries! |

| Yep, I'm still living out of my suitcases! And I plan on doing it for my whole mission! |
