Hey guys. I was actually in San Jose the day of the earthquake and all of our zone which is such a blessing because our zone is right where the earthquake was. Nothing happened at our house tho and i think there was only deaths which is pretty good for a 7.6 i thought. So the picture of me and the girl i don't know her name haha i don't hardly anyones name it's always hermano or hermana haha. Wow that is such an amazing stake presidency that we have now and that's so cool that you guys had two general authorities. Oh ya i'm sorry i didn't write you yesterday but we were at San Jose for changes and we had a little fireside like thing with 3 general authorities but i'll tell you that at the end of this email so i can just keep you guys in suspense haha. Any ways the language is coming and it's so much easier to understand.
For breakfast everyday i pretty much have 3 over hard eggs with orange juice and then we never really have dinner unless we're at a members house and they offer us some but that's usually on sunday. Which is fine tho because after a big lunch i never feel like eating dinner. This week we actually had 2 of our investigators come to church which was so nice since we hadn't had anyone for 3 weeks. There names our Kimberly who is 15 and Sharon 10 they are both super cool and we just hope that their mom will let them get baptized.
Oh ya my package got here last week but for some reason the place you went through sent it to a different address than you put on the box so it was held up for a while and no one told me about it. But your package was correct. Oh ya i don't need English scriptures anymore either because i found them so it's all good. But if you could some blades for my razor and some shaving cream would be awesome because shaving cream here is 10 $ it's crazy expensive.
Now for the General Authorities we had 2 apostles and a member of the first presidency which what President Wilkinson said had never happened in any mission that he knows of. We had President Eyring, M. Russel Ballard, and D. Todd Cristoferson. We also had President Martino of the seventy and last week on wednesday we had Elder Duncan of the seventy too. About a month ago President Eyring, Elder Ballard, and Elder Cristoferson said that they wanted to come to the Costa Rica mission and so President Wilkinson this whole time was preparing us for it but we had no idea. It was the most spiritual and amazing thing that i've ever attended. I had tears in my eyes the whole time. They truly are called of God and love all of us so much. . Usually when a general authority comes they talk to the members too but they only wanted to talk to the missionaries this time. They helped us all really realize our purpose and gave us a new desire to deliver this wonderful message to the people of Costa Rica. At the end they each stood at a door and we got to shake on of their hands. I got to shake Elder Ballards hand. They told us that Jesus would want them to shake their hands and that when we shook them to imagine that we were shaking our Saviors hand and it was so amazing.
.
Anyways that's what has happend this week and i can't wait to talk to you guys next week.
Con Amor, Elder Anderson
