This week was really good but really hard too! The Spanish got to me again! I know that the lord will help me in doing all things like it says in nefi 17:50!! I love that scripture so much! It's soo powerful! This week was cool!
 

Lunes!  After we emailed we were walking in our sector. It is very dangerous! We got robbed by 3 guys... they only took our pamphlets because that's all we had!  I learned my lesson in Guayaquil to not have anything!  Also I got my hair cut! I love it so much!  The hair dresser was very weird! She kept saying "wow, I want your hair! Your hair, how did your parents do it!"  Super cool?!
 

Martes! It was a regular day teaching and preaching! But we saw 2 guys get robbed right in front of us!  There was a huge fight, there was blood and yeah not fun!   We said a really quick prayer and just ran away to our apartment!
 

Miercoles! We were working and all of a sudden we saw huge black smoke and it turned out to be 2 houses in the coco went up in flames how sad! So guess what? We are teaching the family whose house burnt down about the plan of salvation! It's awesome! They are super humble right now!   We had some good concha! Mom can trasnlate it's like shell! haha I love you so much!!
 

Jueves! Was a little tough for me! The spanish kind of got to me.. but that's okay! Through the week I can understand pretty much all of it and have a conversation with practically anybody! Also got robbed again,  but nothing happened. This time they wanted to buy cola, how pathetic! If your going to beg for something beg for your kids' food not coca cola!
 

Viernes! Elder Narro got sick because he has absolutely terrible hygiene! And soo I taught him Noelle Hammond 101: Germ class!  We always wash our hands before we eat and after we go to the bathroom! He blows his nose in his hands and its great! But it's been better, he's learning!  We saw a wreck with a motorcrycle it was soo sad! And scary but they are okay thank goodness!! 

Sabado!! I GOT THE PACKAGES!!!!! This day, well, all this week we worked dang hard as usual and I was exhausted!!

 This week was awesome and I love serving His people here in Los Esteros aqui in Ecuador!  I love my Savior! Something that was powerful is that we're teaching an investigator and I thought to bring up nefi 3: 7 and after he said that's exactly what I need!!  I was like the lord is always always aware of us!! I love this work and couldn't be more proud to serve Him! I love this church and I love you all soo very much! Thank you for all your support! It means the world to me!
