Hola!!
Happy New Years!! I start my first full year in the mission!
So this week was HOT in the beginning and then was stormy over
the rest. It rained Wednesday and a couple other times for like 10
minutes. Its just like California haha
This week we had 2
more new investigators and both were people that we had for backup plans
to visit. The Lord has been helping us a ton lately. I got to invite my
first person to be baptized and they said Yes!! I also got to see how
spiritual Elder Martinez is this week. One day he said we need to go
contact in this area. There is a family ready. We were contacting and
the last house that we visited before lunch was a lady Lorena. We talked
a little and invited to come back another day and she said no. She was
a Testigo (Jehova's Witness) and started to say how Jose Smith isn't in the bible and all
this stuff. We just listened and then Elder Martinez bore his
testimony and invited to come back. the spirit was so strong and she said yes. We left her with a lesson 1 pamplet. It was an experience I wont
forget. We plan on visting her today so we will see how it goes.
For New Years we had an Asado with our district in the church. It was sooo
bomb. We had carne and chirzo. Martinez cooked it and it was way good.
It was super fun to chill and then we returned to our pension and
watched the fireworks. I love them and they have so many. In the street a
mordo blow up and it looked awesome but not safe haha Its crazy they
have firework stands on the side of the streets everywhere. Also there
was a big storm so there was lighting too. It looked super cool with the
fireworks. I tryed to take a timelapse with my gopro but it didnt
start....I was pretty bummed. On the 1st we played futbol and just
chilled because it was our p day.
Some other
things this week that happened was I found 100 pesos!!!! I bought the
mate hahah i sent a picture. We also had an asado on Saturday after we did
service with a less active family and then the family came to church on Sunday! I got a haircut too....it looks fine but its not the best
haircut haha but hey i dont need to look good for the girls right now;)
Well this week was super good and this next week should be too. I miss and love you all!!
Hey
dad the elder conforme said that the thing with burning paper mache people still
happens in Ecuador. We don't have anything crazy like that here. Only fireworks and
Asados!!! One wierd thing is all the motorcycles are aircooled like the
old bikes but they are new bikes. I have only seen one bike with
radiators and it was in a shop. Elder Conforme said that El Empalme, Ecuador is
super horrible and he's really sorry for you. hahaha Also Salomon shoes
are really big here. Love you tons!!
Hey mom
We
all have bad days in cornhole. I miss playing with everyone and i know
that the mission is the right thing and its also super fun here haha
There is a lady here that has 8 cats that live inside!! I have really seen the lord in my life this
week and its so true. We have hard times so that we can see the good
times. We talked about free agency in church and I thought how we can do
everything for a person to accept the gospel but they still have their choice to accept or decline. The Spanish has got way better with Martinez
and I'm starting to think in Spanish more! Thanks for everything! Love
you !!
I love you all tons and hope you have a great new year!!
