This week was better than last week! That's always good! haha
This week I got the RUNS!! ohhhh yeah!! It was awesome! Only for one day not (until Easters!) :) Dang it! It's probably because we ate something bad... everybody is sick because it's super hot in the day but super cold in the nights! I love it when it gets below 70!
This week not many stories happened! That's okay I wanted to tell you a few though!!
1, This week we didn't have much, so we asked for references! This member said there is a menos activo that lives here. So we went over there! She hasn't come to church for a year because she died... that's how bad the people here are about home teaching and visiting teaching. I died laughing, it was so bad but gosh soo funny!!
2. You know when your in Ecuador and there is a member of the church in a bar with a liahona! I bet you he couldn't read it because he was drunk! Oh I died laughing again!
3. We found this black family with little people. They are cute but all of them said "wow your hair!!!" I said yes it's natural! They all wanted to touch it! I was like guhh.... can't... haha it was funny! but it's common. Alot of people ask me where I get my hair done! It's funny!
4. Our class of Inglis was better this week! We had 2 people! Yes!! We taught them how to pray in English!
5. I gave a talk in front of all the zone here, which is like 22 missionaries! It was tough, but my topic was being happy, and how to be happy! I don't know why I did. I have been here for 2 months! I had to give advice to people that have been out for like 16 months! But, I realized you don't need that much experience to be happy! haha By the time it was over, I had everybody laughing! Probably because my Spanish was terrible! haha but yeah!
Something I learned this week is that it is very very VERY!! important to have converts! Not baptisms as a number! It is soo crucial to teach and love your converts because every single soul is great in the sight of God! It's our job as members and as friends to keeps those in the church and active! This is our salvation!! And it is theirs!! We cannot afford to loose people here on this earth! Through service and example! We can do it!
I love you my family, thanks so much for everything!! I love my family with all I have! and I love love my Savior!!!
