I´m here in Three Rivers!

Buenas Familia!

So guess what? That feeling that I had, that I was going to have changes was true! So this last week I got a call the day before changes from President Wilkinson and he assigned me to be a Zone Leader in Tres Rios! So yeah, I had changes and I´m a ZL here. So Tres Rios is in the Zone Los Yoses, which covers all of San Jose Central. We have the assistants, the secretaries, and about 10 sister missionaries in our zone! Haha, I remember saying that I never wanted to have leadership over sister missionaries, but the Lord had different plans when he assigned me here. Yeah so basically everyone is telling me that this is the hardest zone to work in because there is a ton of money here in San Jose central, but I know that Elder Cruz and I will change this zone and it will be one of the best in the mission!

Well my companion is Elder Cruz, from Hidalgo Mexico. So he´s been here in Tres Rios about 9 months, and he is the best missionary here in the mission. I am so stoked to work with him, because he seriously is the best teacher that I have ever seen in the mission, and he likes to work work work! (He´s baptized over 90 people, and has sealed about 12 families here in the mission... that's unheard of here!)

Well, Tres Rios is a lot bigger than Aserri, and the ward here is like the model ward for the whole country. Right now we are working super hard to help divide the ward, and to help form another stake here in San Jose.

There are only about 5 stakes in the whole country, and President Wilkinson is trying super hard to form more, and really to strengthen the church in this country. So we have a lot of work to do, and it should be really fun to work with Elder Cruz and see how much damage we can do here in Tres Rios.

Well, there isn't much more news... this next week we will be having 3 baptisms, Nicxon, Tania, and their son Eduardo. They are a sweet family and they have so much faith in the gospel! I love teaching them because they understand everything and they really apply the gospel to their lives! We should also destroy the area this next month, and we can possibly have 8 baptisms in Tres Rios, and a ton in the zone.

Well Dad, I really think that you are the John Rowe Moyle of our family. What do you do every week. You travel more than 100 miles every Monday to work to provide for your family. You have sacrificed so much to provide for our family, and guide us in this gospel. You have never missed out on YM activities when you were at home, and you really showed me how to be diligent and about how duty that we have to fulfill all our responsibilities in the Gospel and in our families. Love you Big Dawg! No but really, you have given me an example of the hard working father than I need to be in the future. Thank you, I love you Dad.

Well, hope everything is well at home. I love you all. Tell Katie that they need to keep the baby in her tummy until May 30th when I get home. Imagine that, it would way like 20 pounds haha, gross. Well love you guys, and I´m always praying for all of you. Take care, and keep on giving those references to the missionaries! Ush!

Pura Vida,

Elder Taylor

Here are a few photos of the past week:

1)      One of the photos I’m with our cook! She was so rad and she was basically my mom while i was in Aserri (its the photo with the girl in the wheel chair)

 

 

2)      A photo with the family Chavarria Garcia. They are so rad, and i will never forget how much they helped in missionary work in Aserri.

3)      A photo of the best district in the mission! We had the best numbers in the mission and the most baptisms in April (we ad 10 percent of the baptisms in April in the whole mission!)
