Well it's another Monday haha and another week down here in
Ecuador. :)
First off, Gracias por el paquete :) jaja que tal si yo solo
les escribo en español hoy día okay? no mentira no voy a escribir en español
tranquilo :) okay so thank you so much for the package haha you guys are so
awesome! Hope you didnt spend too much money on it... it sounds really
expensive. you dont have to spend so much on me... :)
But don't even worry about it mom, when I get it I will be
happy :)
Alright now about being district leader... I sorta enjoy it but
ya at the same time it can be a little bit stressful, but I'm happy and I just wanna
keep working. So this week has been sorta crazy though. This last Tuesday my
companion had changes... the one from the U.S. And I sorta knew it was too good
to be true when we got put as companions because we just got along too well... we
both wanted to work and we worked well together. And the mission just isn't
ever that easy. So unfortunately he left and got sent to Galapagos. and I
recieved a new companion from Peru who has 3 months in the mission. He is
just figuring everything out about the mission but he's a nice kid. Howevr, I
was extremely sad to see Elder Hammond go. I'm pretty sure he would have been my
best companion so far.
But anyways I've just got to keep pushing foward and work
hard. This week went well for us and we have some great investigators that we are
working with. And to only have a week here and not know the area beforehand I
feel like I'm doing pretty well in not getting lost haha.
So this last Saturday we had a baptism and her name is
K and wow does she have a tough life!! She lives in a place here called
the Coco where pretty much all of the houses are made out of bamboo and it is
super bad living conditions. In her house they sell alcohol and her step dad and mom
stay up all night every night just drinking and there is always a giant party at
their house. I feel like she really just likes the church because she can escape...
it's like a sanctuary in the chapel compared to her living conditions. I was so
happy that we got the chance to teach her and I was honered to get to baptize
her as well :)
I love this area! Machala is wonderful oh and I don't think I
told you before Elder Myers is here in the zone and I get to see him almost
everyday!! It's sooo awesome and it keeps me animated to always have a friend
here :)
And anyways this Saturday we have another baptism and his name
is J. and he is super awesome. He loves to learn about the Gospel and he has
a giant desire to change his life. He has a slight problem with drinking... so
we have been working with him to let it go and to move on. I would love if you
all could pray for him this week that he can get baptized and be excited to do
it!
Well I don't have too much else to say but I'm excited to
keep working and hopefully YOu'll have a wonderful week :)
