Elder Ferrin Sounds like he is doing great, last week there was an earth quake but he said that they didn't even notice. Also he said that they had a troop of Howler Monkeys that were outside his apartment and they were so loud that they woke them up.
Here is his latest news from Costa Rica:
I am loving it here still! even though it is the equivalent of 100 degrees Fahrenheit here all day and everyday! I sweat non stop but it just makes getting into every house that much better!! :) so this last week I got the blessing of attending the temple with my companion for one of his families that went through the temple to be sealed. the temple here is absolutely beautiful!!! It is very small but is so pretty!! also guess who I saw when we were in the temple? Elder Beck!! You know the general young men's president for the church? Ya him and his wife stopped and talked to us! Doing the session in the temple was such a spiritual experience! Spanish was a little difficult but it was such a wonderful blessing and so many things stick out differently when you go through in Spanish!! I have 18 progressing investigators with my companion and 8 still planned for the 20th of this month! The lord has his hand in Costa Rica and I can tell! Our families are so prepared to be taught!! I am shocked by the willingness of some of these people everyday!! But this last week the only thing new was the temple and I also went and got my finger prints done so I could be a resident. Also if someone sent me a dear elder it never showed up at the mission home FYI. I will be in San Jose in a week again. I am kind of tired of the five and a half hour bus ride into the city. But that is the only thing here I have yet to enjoy! Walking everywhere is making me skinny too :) it is about an hour and a half walk everyday from our house to the end of our area where we work everyday. Usually in the rain, but anyways i am loving it here and my testimony is growing everyday so much!! I hope you all know that I know this church is the one and only true Church and I wish you all the best!! Love you all!
Fantastic letter and photos too!
