Buenas Familia!!!!

First off to answer your questions...

1. Yes I got the box!!!! Thank you so much, it´s the best box that I have gotten haha, thank you so much!
2. I haven´t gotten a book that Sister Reynolds sent me yet, sorry, maybe it will come in soon.
3. Yes I received the envelope with the two books! Thanks so much for that also, we are using some of the object lessons in our lessons already haha
4. I don't think I need anything right now, but I'll let you know! Thank you!

Well this week was awesome! This month in our zone (Los Yoses) we will reach our goal of 15 baptisms!!!! (That is the most our zone has ever had in the history of the mission... It doesn't seem like a lot but here in San Jose that is a ton!!!!). So I am really stoked with how all our missionaries are doing here.

Well we had changes the past week, and Elder Schweinfurth and I are still together! We will have 4 and a half months together after this change, and we are stoked becuase I love this companionship.

Well this letter is going to be a little short because not much new stuff is going on in our area. We have been trying a ton to work with the members here, and we have pretty much asked everyone for references, so we decided to knock doors for like 10 minutes. I love knocking doors because you can meet so many new people. We said a prayer and we walked down this one street, and then we both felt strongly that we should knock this one door. So we knocked the door and this lady answered, and I am really bad at contacting now because we have only worked with references for 6 months so I said, "Hey... we felt the impression to come to this house and knock your door... can we share a message with you guys?" She let us in, and they are progressing so well! IU love the Holy Ghost, and how he guides us to those that need to hear our message of hope! Their names are Zuly and Josue, and they are such an awesome family! I love them!

But yeah, God has really helped us this past month, and we will be reaching 200 baptisms in Costa Rica this month! That will be the first time that we reach more than 200 baptisms in the history of the country, and it is funny because when President WIlkinson got here, a ton of general authorities told him that we would never reach more than 150 in one month here. I love the Lord, and I have seen so many miracles this month in the mission. He really is smiling upon this country, and blessing the hearts of countless numbers of people. I love you all, and I really miss you, but this mission has changed my life, and has allowed me to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord with countless numbers of people. I love it so much! Love you all, take care!!!

Pura Vida,
Elder Taylor
p.s I am going to send a ton of photos today, that's why the letter is so short! Love you all!!!!

Photos: Well my computer stinks... its super slow so I could barely send pictures. In these ones I sent the baptism of Hector and Petrona and Yaritza. Also we went to a haunted house that is supposed to be one of the most haunted places on earth. I am laying down in the most haunted room haha, making a mockery of the ghosts. It wasnt haunted. Okay love you!!!!!
