I'm so glad you got my letter!! :)
And you'll probably get the next one soon for your b-day mom.
Well another week down and I'm starting to get used to Guayaquil . Like it
has been crazy hard to always have so much heat here but I think I am getting
used to it by now. However, I have been struggling a bunch here being tired all
the time... It's weird and I don't know if it's the heat or what but I am just
always tired and I can't really snap myself out of it. Also the
missionary work here is just different which definitely isn't a bad thing, cause
in Loja it was so hard to get people to come to church and here it is a ton
easier. I love it because we can get so many more baptisms from the people who
actually commit and come to church with us! :) However the people here love to
talk to you! All you have to say is one word and the investigator or member will talk
for 30 minutes which is just a little different because I find myself falling
asleep while they are talking to me... haha and I just have never really been the
type of person who just likes to sit and talk and talk so it's been a little
different getting used to that.
I'm trying to take more responsibility so that I can just do everything
and I like Elder Flores and we teach pretty well together, I just have a little bit
more of getting used to his personality and I guess just doing what he tells me because I'm still the junior companion.
Okay but anyways, guess what?.... I had another baptism this last Saturday!
His name is Investigator J. and he is 56 and he is great! I had the opportunity
to teach him for a week and a half and he had already gone to church a
few times before and he accepted a baptism date for last Saturday so that was
great! :)
And so now I have six haha well Heavenly Father has six :)
And now I would like to talk about a family; Sister E and Brother
A. They are a couple that lives together and they have been going to church for over a year now and they are working towards getting married and they are absolutely awesome and maybe I could
get to baptize them! I will send you a
picture of them. They are so hilarious and they have kinda taken over as my
new family for this ward and I wish you guys could meet them!
Also, you asked what was the hardest thing I've had to eat that someone has cooked me and that would be hands down....sardine soup....I could barely choke it down. Although, I have to say that I really like chicken feet soup :)
Well anyway, I'm doing pretty well the only thing was like the motivation
to work here because I am always tired but I love you all to
death and I am so glad that everyone is doing well!
Love, Elder Lignell
