Hello! :)

This week we got moved! Our ward is now in a new stake! We had a 'Historic Conference' yesterday with 3 stakes and the Area Presidency from Guatemala. They announced the 3 new stakes in Costa Rica and moved a few wards around. I was in Estaca La Paz (Peace Stake) and now I am in Estaca Los Yoses (No one knows what it means Stake..). And if you have a really good memory, you will remember that that was my very first Zone! :) And my new STLs are in Concepcion! So that means that if we have divisions, maybe I get to go back to my first area to work for a day! :) Wahoo! :)

Good news! :) I don't remember if I told you all about the miracle we had 2 weeks ago? But I will tell it again... :) Miriam came to our ward 2 weeks ago with a friend that invited her! The friend is from a different ward, and he was taking her to the other ward for a bit, but then he wanted to show her what her real ward would be like. And she loved it! And she came back last week and yesterday all by herself! And now she wants to be baptized this week! :) She is a doctor and is maybe 30 years old or so. When I first met her, she looked really familiar. I asked if she worked in the hospital that we go to a lot, but she does not... But she still looks really familiar to me. Maybe she was one of my friends in Heaven. She is awesome and I am excited to watch her progress even more! :)

I am sick. :( I have like a weird infection in my lungs or throat or something. Last night I woke up because I couldn´t breathe... So I had to sleep sitting up the whole night... And I have a nasty sounding cough. But good thing today is P-Day  and I can rest and I have loads of doTERRA I can take. :) I don't particularly like sleeping while sitting up.

My new companion and I are doing great! She has almost met all of the members, and we are still trying to get around to all of the investigators and show her the whole area, but it's pretty big, so that will take some time. She does not like having such a big house to sleep in, hahah she is used to the tiny houses we usually have. We had a few missionaries sleep over this week. A few just getting here, and 3 finishing their missions. So we didn't sleep much this week... Maybe next week! :)

That is about it for the new things this week... Oh! We were talking to a Catholic lady and she wants us to visit her kids and teach them! She says she likes our religion and wants her kids to listen to us! How cool? Right? Well have a great week! :) Love you all! :)

Love,

Hermana Markle. :)

Items of Business....

1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMI!! :) You are 16!! (and your hair is freakishly blonde right now).

2. My throat hurts....

3. I bought the contacts today! They were out of the Acuvue, so they gave me Biofinity CopperVision instead.. They said they are the same material, just a little cheaper... Have you heard of that brand before? Hopefully my eyeballs don't die.

4. The Elder nurse that I am training for the West Mission does not have any medical training, but his dad is a doctor. He calls me when he is not sure what to do, so it's all good! We go to their office once a week to train and so I can enter the notes from him. And the rest will now be on the phone. He calls or texts me and I help him. But he's doing great!

5. Tell Sophie Congratulations and Good Luck for me!! :)

6. Keep being good! Love you all! :) :) :)

Hermana Woods! She just got here this week! She is friends with McKell  and Josh and went to their sealing so she told me all about the wedding I missed! :(

This is Elder Nielson with his planner that has me on it! :)
