Week 62 "I'm Completely Soaked!"

Hey  Guys Love you! I am doing good out here. Working hard, working quite a bit with the less actives because knocking doors does not work here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you guys!  This is my last week with my companion, he goes home next week so I will have a new comp next monday!

Week 61 "Semana de Milagros"

Lij is working hard!  Last week his zone had no one at church, this week they had twenty-five investigators at church.  Their goal is to get over 50.  They are having a real challenge finding investigators, but he and his companion have set some high goals and are excited to reach them.  He says they are working the hardest he has ever worked.  We are proud of our boy.

Week 60 "Nothing Going on!"

Everything is fine out here! Not much to talk about we worked hard this week but nobody came to church, but we will get them next week. Pretty crazy that Sambo is home this next week! Proud of him, total studd. I dont need anything! I am fine.  My eczema is getting a lot better! My companion has his last interview with President today and that is about everything! 

Week 59 "We are working from Square One."

Nothing really happened this week! There was a leadership conference in the mission where all the secretaries, zone leaders and sister training leaders get together.  This happens once a month. Well, President made me do the Haka in front of the whole mission, it was pretty crazy! Hahahahahahah it was funny. The area is interesting we have absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!! All week we just got rejected. So, we got to start from step 1 all over again!!! Also I had to go to the doctor again because I was bleeding, from the eczema.  I went to a doctor, actually the bishop of my area, and I am on different medicine and 100 percent okay now!!!!!!! Not much has happened! here are some pictures!

Sister Laboriel came to one of our reunions with presidente, and I was bleeding from the back of my head, because of my  eczema, and she said to  President "give him a blessing now" hahahahahahahahahahahahha but then I went to a different doctor that same day and they got me hooked up with a bunch of stronger medicines 

Week 58 "My New Zone"

Well here are some pictures of my week! Pretty crazy there isn't much that I have to write! Just worked hard with my companion and tried to get to know our zone! Pretty fun! We had a meeting with President and the Stake President.  When the Stake President saw me, he was so happy, I actually got really red!  He completely praised me in front of President saying that I was the missionary that turned the tide in the San Fransisco area, which is crazy because that thought never occured to me, and he told President that the prodigal son has returned! It was nuts.

 In our area right now and our zone when I got here there was absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our zone had 3 baptisms last month and our area has 1 investigator who went to church for the first time sunday. So my theory is proven correct! I am always sent to the places where there is nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But for me that is the fun part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I did divisions with one of the elders in my zone and we went to his area and put 7 fechas for this month and they all came to church. An area that for a long time has never killed it like that! Anyway love you guys I hope that you have a fun trip to Scottsdale!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you All

Week 57 "I'm back in Heredia"

We got a quick little email from Elder Larson on Monday.  He was transferred out of the office and he is now in San Rafael de Heredia.  He said that it was about 15 minutes from his very first area.  He is now companions with Elder Lopez, who only has 6 weeks left on his mission.  

On Tuesday night we got some pictures from Maribel and Hector.  Elijah baptized them back in October of last year.  It was so great to see him with this wonderful family and they were excited to see Elijah again. 

Week 56 "I'm out of the Office"

This week we got a really short letter.  Elijah is being transferred out of the office on Monday.  His new P-Days will be on Monday again.  He told us that Bryan got baptized, which is exciting and that he is really happy to get out in the field again.  We will find out on Monday where he is going.  He also said that his replacement as Immigration Secretary is Elder Geiger, one of his first companions.  He was very happy about that.
