Hey guys!!
Well another super fast week. This one was a little bit slower than the rest just because everything was new, but it still left me wondering how in the world it went by so fast. It was a good week because Elder Adams, the outgoing AP, was with us until Friday and it gave me a chance to spend some time with my buddy from my time in La Loma. He gave me some really good advice on what he learned and how to help the missionaries which really helped me feel more comfortable and get started better. And having a temple trip and conference this week have been such a blessing to help in the adjustment. Had so many questions answered and fears calmed going to the temple and then watching conference. And unlike my previous two conferences (both of which were in Siquirres, in case anyone had forgotten haha), I got to watch all 5 sessions in English and my own little room with Elder Greene, my buddy from Limon. So all in all it was a great week.
On Tuesday morning I got thrown right into the new assignment, waking up at 3:00 am to get to the airport to pick up the new gringo missionaries. We ended up waiting until about noon until their flight got in and they got through customs and then we took them to the temple, headed back to the office and they got sent out to work. We then headed back to the area and had a few more visits.
Wednesday was almost the same because we had to get up at 3 again to go pick up the new latin missionaries and take them to the temple and back to the office. Needless to say, by the time 10:30 rolled around, I was dead haha.

Thursday we had to go meet the new senior couple that was coming into to help with the housing in the mission. They set up a super formal lunch and we were all blown away. President was super pumped up and the new couple was pretty impressed. (wait until they find out we just have pizza and water for leadership council haha) but they seem super nice and they're going to help us out a ton.
Friday we had to get up early again to head over to the temple. We had a great session at 7 am and then got back to the area around 11, said goodbye to Elder Adams and went to go enjoy pday, which we did by sleeping haha.
Saturday, conference!! Without a doubt one of the best conferences I have ever seen. Priesthood session was spectacular, Brother Owen's talk really spoke to me, and of course President Nelson's talk was fantastic.
Sunday was another great day of conference. I can't wait to print off all the talks and go to town studying.
And then today was awesome because to welcome me to the office, we went with the Secretaries to Johnny Rockets for lunch. Got a massive burger and an Oreo shake so obviously I was as happy as can be. It was even topped off by a trio of very unenthusiastic waiters singing happy birthday to the table next to us. I haven't seen people so bored singing happy birthday before haha.
But anyway, Love you guys a ton! I'm doing great. Loving life out here. It's been a little crazy, but crazy is more fun right?
