Jan. 5, 2015 This Week in the Galapagos!

Wow, my amazing cousin DAVID Weekes Just killed it in Bolivia!  Now is going to be the next apostle!! I love it!! Dave I love you soo much and thanks for being such a great example to all of your cousins! Can't wait to see you in 18 months if your not married!

This week we've been in a trio because one of the companions left here!  So we had to go to the airport really early at like 4:30 in the morning, yeah! ha ha but we did it! It was SO WEIRD to see Americans!! I'm not used to it!! They were speaking English! I was like guhh.. I totally forgot what people said and everything it was bad!!   This week was great and full of miracles! I love being here and the chance of being here on the Island!!

Since the trio and the new year we had to be in our houses at 6 in the night!  Soo it was really hard to contact people this week because I don't know if you guys know, but new years in this part of the world is one of the biggest parties in Ecuador! People are buying and buying soo much beer and everything!!  So we had to be in the house at 6! Which meant those 3 hours that we could have been helping and serving other people, we were in the house but I loved it because we got to study the scriptures!!  I loved it! I learned alot about the power of the Holy Ghost and repentance!
 

I really hope that we can have a baptism this week! We are praying and we fasted this week that we could have baptism!  Please pray for Ulysses Masaquiza!  That he will have the desire to be baptized! And we can receive the revelation of what to teach him so that the spirit will touch his heart and be baptized! One thing I love about the mission is that it really teaches you to be humble and really to trust in the lord! If we are exactly obedient, he will bless us! That's something that I'm learning now and I hope that I will live it after my mission!
 Thanks mom for telling those really nice compliments about when Brittany was doing junior miss! I did love to cheer for her! Haylee is going to tear it up!! I love my family soo much!!  It really is NOO FAIR that all of you guys went snowmobiling without me!! And on the raft, how fun!!! We should have thought of that!! I am soo glad that you guys are having fun!! There is nothing better than the family!!

The Galapagos!! Today for pday we went to the tunnels!! The 2nd biggest tunnel in South America!! COOL!! It was cool, it was like the ice caves!! I felt like whoaa cool!!  The Galapagos are awesome! People here and soo nice and friendly, but the work is tough because they all work in boats or tourism! But that's not letting us get down!! I hope everyone has such a great week!!  I love you and can feel your prayers!! love you so much!!
