WOW!!! GALAPAGOS!!!
What a week this has been for me holy smokes!!! I really can't even remember what happened!! I'm going to try and remember what happened!!!
Lunes! lunes in the noche I got a call saying that I had cambios! Meaning I had to leave! Terrible because I spent all my money on a Christmas tree and all this food and everything! I had to be in Guayaquil at 7! I had to leave Machala at 3!! It was 10! haha So, I packed and got about 45 minutes of sleep!! Got to the terminal and found out that I was going THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS!!!!! AHHH!!!!!!!!!! What the heck!! The Galapagos Islands!! How crazy is that!! I was like oh my gosh I'm soo excited but I'm EXHAUSTED!! haha
Martes! I was an assistant to the president today!! Super cool! We heard that we were going to be able to go and do a session in the Temple!! That was the most important part of my entire week! Forget Galapagos and everything I WAS GOING TO THE TEMPLE!! I haven't been in forever!!! I just love love LOVE the temple!! It is the house of God here upon the world!! I love the temple soo much!! There's just an amazing spirit in the room and everything!! I just love the temple! It was cool to hear everything in Spanish! Super different and everything but super cool!
Like I said, I was an assistant to the president because they were going to send us off on miercoles! and wow.... I really don't want to be the assistant! It's a tough job!! Holy smokes! But it was good! I worked with soo many missionaries and bore testimony and everything, it was cool!!
Miercoles!! I CAME to the GALAPAGOS!!!! WOW CRAZY!!! The Galapagos it really is like Jurassic Park!! haha I'm not even kidding its like people live here!! It's super sweet!! I love it soo much! The people and members here are awesome! The work here though is a little tough because everyone works in the airport or on Sundays!! OR!! they are tourists! Which is actually something really funny!! Has everybody heard of this movie Meet the Mormons? Tourists are taking pictures of us because of this movie so like random people take pictures of us! It's funny!! ha ha
but I love it!! Tourists are hilarious!
They always smell
like sunscreen! You can always
tell whose a tourist by their
sunscreen smell!! It's awesome
!! But really wow... were teaching families here! It's super different! I had to teach a family
who spoke English
and I couldn't
even speak! My English
is terrible! haha
It was funny!! Really I'm
going to miss Machala
! I already do
! The work here
is a lot
harder than Machala
but that doesn't
stop me! I love this work soo
much! I have a new companion his name is Elder
Flamenco! He is from El Salvador
! He is awesome! We have such
a good time! We laugh and we make jokes
and we beat box to the members
and everything!
I love you guys so much! I miss you and I hope you guys had such a good week! This fast Sunday I fasted for 30 hours, how about that!! I was starving but that's okay because after we went to this family and oh my gosh!!! We saw Teri in the devo!! We only got to watch 5 minutes of it because the Internet is super bad!!! But I was like that's my aunt!!!!! haha super super cool!! Well, I'm here in the islands!! I love it tons!! We're working super hard, and being obedient and I know the lord will bless us!! I'll try and send some pics but this computer isn't letting me and its super slow... I love you my family and your always in my prayers!!! Chow from the Galapagos!!!! The land of the turtles!!
