Week 13

We had an awesome week here!! Time is running low on the p day, so i have to keep it short, but turned 20! Second birthday in the mission checked off, and it was a good one. Members had us over for a nice dinner, had a ward activity on Saturday, went down to presidents house for a mission conference and Christmas dinner, then out to puntarenus, an area on the beach for some exchanges.

Merry Christmas! 9 He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.

Fuzzy little red balls with a grape (more or less) on the inside. Way too cheap. And everyone suddenly seems to have truck full of them on every corner. So life has been good. This week had some hilarious experiences with some of our buds from the streets. Someone started chasing me, slowly but surely, and yelled over and over "what are your country!?!" We could feel the frustration boiling up with him. Not sure if he was mad that his English wasn't all the way there, or possibly that I declined to say what were my country.
