9th Week Guapiles, Limon - Pococi Ward

Family ~

The week started out great being able to go to a meeting with President Hayes! I always learn so much from him and I feel bad for those who aren't here from the mission that don't get a chance to learn from him. He has so much knowledge of the scriptures from years and years of teaching religious classes in the University. He taught us about a story in the Book of Mormon and how Satan is searching to attack our weak part so that he can conquer us and that we need to strengthen all of our areas against Satan so that he doesn't enter to destroy us.

Wednesday we went to an Elderly home to be able to spend some time with them and serve them lunch and sing carols to them. It was amazing to take the time out to be able to do something like that! I loved it so much and loved seeing the other missionaries find joy in helping others.

Us at the ward christmas party and a couple we are teaching. They are great! They have taught me that I really am privileged to be here in Costa Rica. They are the best! 

Then Saturday we had the ward Christmas party. We started making tamales in the morning and it was really fun and exciting! It was great to learn a little more about the Latin Culture and find a love even more for the people here in Costa Rica!

Mom the other day we made tamales in church! We made about 250 so I had time to practice for when I get home! I wasn't able to take the picture of all of them lined up because my camera died but they turned out great! 


The Mission Christmas party is Monday and that will be fun! We will be using the camel for it!  We also used the camel this last week for a service project in an elderly home!!

Our little friend!

I love you all and hope you have a great week! And remember why our Savior was born and be able to serve one another!

LOVE YOU

8th Week Guapiles, Limon - Pococi Ward

Familia ~

This week we had changes and about half of the zone had changes with a lot of new faces! Wednesday we went to San Jose to go help the sisters carry their stuff to the buses and to their areas. Well my companion and I got stuck with about 4 suitcases, 3 backpacks, 2 purses, 2 umbrellas, and a big package. It was super hard carrying everything especially in San Jose! But we were able to do it! I can only imagine what everyone was thinking watching these two young guys carrying around all of that stuff in San Jose struggling! 

I made no bake cookies! reminds me of Jordyn
It's been great here in Pococi! With the rain still going strong I am loving it! (Keeps the dirt wet so that the wind doesn't blow it up in your face).

The Christmas tree with all the gifts! Thanks mom and dad!!
Other than that the week has been normal! Seeing miracles every day as we go and  teach God's children the restored Gospel. 



I love this Gospel, Love what it's done for my life and family, love Christ and His infinite atonement, and love life!

I hope you all have an awesome week!

LOVE Elder Moss
