Hi Everyone:
Hey guess what....I have a huge suprise for you guys!!!!
I got two baptisms last Saturday!!!
We baptized the two sisters that I was talking about and I got the chance
to baptize one of them :) Her name is Investigator M and she is 11 years old and the
hillarious thing is that she looked up Jacob on Facebook and was talking to him the other day. I baptized her and my companion baptized the other sister, Investigator E who
is 17! So I now have four baptisms here in Loja and I am so very happy!
It was an absolutely amazing experience to baptize her and it was all in Spanish and I don't know I just loved it. I'm so glad that I got the chance to
baptize her and I love the fact that Jacob was talking to her on Facebook
the day before her baptism! :)
No I have not gone to the Ecuador temple yet and I probably won't get
the chance until I train someone new because I will have to go to Guayaquil and
stay there a night if I get that opportunity.
We haven't actually done any service projects yet but we
have done a ton of service. For instance on Saturday after the baptism we helped a
member's husband, who isnt a member, move these giant bags of cement into a truck
and then dumped them off a cliff. It was crazy hard but it's sweet because if we
can gain his confidence maybe one day we can baptize him :) and other than that
I just pretty much do everybody's dishes everyday... haha... something I thought I
would never do :)
I only talk Spanish to my companion and we talk a lot. He
doesn't speak any English so I can't really speak English to him... but ya, I
can speak Spanish pretty well now. However what I am lacking is being able to
understand other people... it is so hard with all the words there are and if you
have any advice I would be happy to listen :)
Yes it is a million times easier right now with my companion and I
enjoy my time with him. He is a great kid and he tries to be obedient and work hard
but he is also fun and wants to have a good time here so I think it is pretty
much a perfect balance!
And with me I am doing great and I love it out here. I am excited to keep
helping people and learn so much more!
I love you all.
