Dear Family,
Well I got some good news and I got bad news. The Good news
is that the couple that was going to be sealed, are still going to be sealed.
The bad news is that it will be sometime in January. The husband has been a
member all his life. But the branch secretary didnt register that he was
ordained an Elder. Therefore they did not meet the qualifications for sealing
on Saturday. But all is well. They will be getting sealed sure enough.
Today we had a cool zone activity. We went to an old folks
home and cleaned a little. I felt very accomplished because I took time to sit
down and get to know some of the residents. Their stories are pretty cool. I
think I learned more Costa Rican history today than all of my mission put
together haha. At the end of the cleaning, we found a little guitar in the
back. One elder fixed it up a little bit. When he was finished, I started
strumming what I could and it worked out pretty well. The head of the center
heard me playing and singing and decided that it would be cool for us to go
sing for the center. So the Zone Leaders said, we need you to play The First
Noel, Angels We Have Heard on High, and Silent Night on the guitar. I said ok
and I actually was able to play the guitar for a performance for two of the
three songs and it gave the zone pitch to sound good. Silent Night was a fiasco
haha
But it is going great. We have one baptism planned for the
19th and a lot of activities until the 30th. We are just moving forward. But
its coming to a close pretty quick. It's already the 7th! Crazy how quick it
goes by.
Sigamos Adelante,
-Elder Neider
