Hey guys!
Well it's been a pretty crazy week. It was tough to say goodbye, but it's been fun to get to know a new area and new companion. I got moved into the city, in an area called Purral, in northern San Jose. It's a lot colder and a lot bigger than Siquirres, which has taken some getting used to, but so far I'm loving it. My companion is Elder Davis, my first gringo companion. It's been so much different because he actually understands most of the references I make and was just as excited as I was when we saw a Star Wars poster on the back of a bus yesterday haha. The area is great, mostly all hills and we take buses everyday, but it's got some of the best members I've ever met. The ward is really good, but it's about to split into a branch and a ward and we'll be in the branch. There's a lot we have to get done to get ready for it, but it's been a lot of fun to be a part of so far.
It was really sad to say goodbye to everyone in Siquirres because almost all of them started crying, but they've all welcomed me really well here so I'm feeling more and more at home everyday. I finally had the chance to bust out my jacket, which has been collecting dust the last year haha. It also doesn't rain as much as Siquirres. I checked off a bucket list item by finally leaving the house without my umbrella haha.
Yesterday, we got to go to the Christmas devotional, which was really good. Filled the chapel and the cultural hall (the chapel is twice the size here than in Siquirres haha) and after they served tamales and hot chocolate. It was a such a good night because a lot of investigators showed up and everyone just loved it.
I wish I had more to say, but I can't remember everything that happened this week haha, but the most important is that I'm loving it and that it's gonna be really fun to be here. Have a great week! Talk to you guys soon!
