Walker's Week #11

(Q. form Dad) So tell us more about your apartment.
My apartment is okay. There is no hot water there is just water. We have a heater for our shower but it broke this week so we have very very cold showeres.
You say there are 6 elders there. How many are American?
There are 3 elders from honduras, including my companion(Elder Lopez). There is one from Canada. And one other latino not quite sure were he is from.
Can you give us your address so we can look it up on google map?
I have no idea what are address is because they don´t use addresses here. We are like 2 houses away from  the park Juan Santa Maria, between Mcdonalds and the park.
So you have a large area, do you live in your ward? If so haw far do the other elders have to travel to get to there areas? 
The area I am in is called Villa Armosa, Alajuela. The apartment is in between 2 areas and the others catch a bus to get to theirs.
How long has your companion been on his mission?
I do not know how long my companion has been out, I´m not allowed to ask and he is not allowed to tell. We get along pretty well. Yes my area is pretty big, I have walked for an hour and a half and still haven´t got to the other side.
How are prices of things, is it expensive or cheep to get food and things?
It costs about 200 colones to ride the bus which is about 40 cents, and thats all I really know. There is a pricesmart right next to where I live. Which is Costco they get all there stuff from Costco to.

I went to the Temple today, it is very small but I really like there chandalire and it is the first place I have been in that doesn´t have cinderblock walls and a metal roof.

Oh the other day there was a rain storm in San Jose and the lightning was lighting up the whole sky. I can´t wait for it to actually rain here. There was lightning at least every 2 seconds and the thunder is so loud it sounded like a shotgun and I was 30 miles away. It was so cool. I love it here.
