Dear Family,
Our skype call was so wonderful! It honestly was the
best Christmas present I could have asked for and I am so glad that you all
are doing so well! It was so nice to just talk to all of you! And ya, it was hard
after the phone call to focus because I love you all so much!
I am very glad that you liked my testimony. I
feel like I have somewhat of a special testimony because I know this gospel is true and that is why I have a testimony but I can see both sides to everything so I understand when people have doubts about the gospel. But I know the gospel to be true and if one church has to be true on this earth than it is this one. The world is just too amazing not to have a God that created it.
The other two missionaries in my house are from Ecuador and Peru and
I love them because they are both such great guys! So, one of them is Elder Castenda and he is
constantly making fun of me and so I make fun of him back and it is hilarious! Then the other Elder is so nice and I have had some good talks with him and
it's in Spanish so I love it even more :) So those are the other Elders in our house,
and it is very nice to have them with us!!
I'm so glad you all had a wonderful Christmas!!! Mine was good too. I
got a tie from the Bishop of our ward and lots of candy from the ward so that was good :)
I
hope Jacob is doing okay with me being gone...and I
just want him to know that I really do love him so much and think about him all
the time. Also, tell him that two years is nothing...I will be back before he knows it and
I will have time to watch him play varsity basketball for Brighton. So I hope
he is okay..... I love that kid :)
My companion loves all animals and insects so he got a little annoyed with me the other day when I
killed a moth and he helped a spider leave our room by guiding it
with a broom... it took like 10 minutes.... hahaha.
Ok, so this week in general was good however, we didn't get too much work
done because of Christmas Eve (which is really big here.....much bigger than Christmas Day) and Christmas so that was too bad. We had two
invetigators come to church with us and they are great so hopefully we can get
baptism dates for both of them!
Also we went to this one place called Guagora and it
was honestly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to and I will send you a picture that is so awesome.
Also I was thinking I really do want to bring you guys back here after my
mission....Ecuador is soooo cool!!! I love the city of Loja.
Also if I make pancakes do I use butter for the pan or cooking oil?
I can't believe it is almost 2014. The year of my mission! The only year of my entire life that will completely be for the Lord....pretty crazy. I can't believe how the time has flown! I have almost been on my mission for three months and over a month in Ecuador!!!
Love you so much!
