That is super funny with the rat eating Grandma Polly's avocados. Right now there are so many avocados here. And they are the size of gatorade bottles. They are huge. But I haven't seen a possum in any of the trees. This week we didn't get a lot of snow but si we got tons and tons of rain. The huge 20 foot canal by our house almost overflowed!! We got drenched Thursday, but when we got back from the zone meeting we were able to put on our irrigation boots and raincoats.
Rain!
Also, our zone is working super hard. Our goal is that this month we can have 20 baptisms! We had three this week in the zone and we had about more than 60 attend church. And we found over 157 new investigatores in one week. When you look at a zone you really can see the Lord’s work flying forward!
This week, mom and dad, we have 9 people with baptismal dates! One of them is Soledad. She is 15 and has such a strong desire to follow Christ that she agreed to be baptized on 25 of February in the first lesson and attended church this week and loved it!!
Also the new chapel is amazing! I will send pictures! It is so much bigger and the AC is divine and the members are so grateful to have the church so close! This Sunday so many people came to see the new chapel and it was so full of people and many inactive members!!
This week flew by. My companion and I have been working really hard, and every night we when we get ready to pray we almost fall asleep on our knees. We are doing well!
Me and my companion enjoying some ice cream I went to Cotoca on an intercambio with Elder Dubiel this week. IT IS SUCH A FUN TOWN but is very catolico!
Cotoca’s beautiful colonial style church
Cotoca is located about 20 kilometers to the East of Santa Cruz Cotoca is known for its handmade clay artwork
Also, carnaval is next week so we are going to be in our house starting Sunday till Tuesday. What an adventure!
I love you all!
Elder Matheson
