I'm trying something different today-- not sure if this will work. Thanks for all of your support! Love you all! Elder Hammond
Monday
We got news that we were going to go to Guayaquil for training. So I was pretty excited about that! We are in Loja so we have to go early. So we went and bought tickets for 1:30 and my comp wanted to buy two coats that are like llamas. I think he spent $40 of the mission money honestly my comp is kind of a jerk.
Then wrote my family and got our stuff ready and went to Guayaquil. We drove 8 1/2 hours and got to Guayaquil at like 12:00. We went to the assistants to sleep! So many elders were there. I slept on the couch. We got good news that we were going to be able to go do a session at the temple!! Yes! I love that idea. So we get to wake up at 3 AM two hours of sleep how wonderful ha ha!
Tuesday
Today we woke up at 3 AM to be able to go to the temple. We got ready really fast and went to the temple. We forgot our recommends!! They weren't very happy with us!
I Love The Temple!! I Love It!! When I was there my mind was just clear! So peaceful, it was the new video! The guy who plays in Saints and soldiers was Satan. But wow! I love the celestial room! When I walked in there I almost cried praying! I felt the spirit so strong! I wanted to stay in there forever!
Afterwards we got ready superfast and went to the training! So cool! We learned about taking decisions and how to make them! So cool! Then had sandwiches for lunch. Everyone was in a rush to leave. We left at 5 to Machala then it was a miracle we got a bus at nine to Loja -then we got here at 3:00! I was so tired and stressed because we didn't have a way to send a report to the assistants.
Wednesday
So tired today! We got permission to sleep in today a little later because we didn't get to sleep on the bus! But the shower got fixed! We have hot water! So nice not to have to boil the water! Then went to our meeting to teach our zone what we learned. It went alright. Then after we had lunch we had fried shrimp! So good! Then we worked really hard to put at least one baptismal date because we don't have anything right now… But we talked to a lot of people so that is cool. My comp is hard he just judges me all the time and he thinks I'm a weirdo! Oh well.
Tonight we had family night with David and his brother our mamita her daughter and her son. about the mission! Our purpose was to get permission from his mom and she didn't come no!! My comp didn't talk to me at all tonight!
Thursdsy
Were going to do changes with the elders in Zamora. We got salchipapa spicy and moracho with empanadas! Super delicious! The bus broke down! So we walked! We worked hard and tried to put as many baptismal dates as we could! Then at 4 o'clock I did an interview for Luis! He's pretty cool. Then kept working talked and ate some more empanadas, then talked to a Chinese guy then a guy who had no teeth. Then after we went to an activity with the branch. We played a lot of games they were fun! Elephant and mosquito and Mattia and after we played we watched how to find faith in Christ it was good 20 people came. We also talked to a man who recently got separated from his wife he is a UfC fighter and was crying to us about his life! We talked with him It was good! The night time is cool here! Went to bed!
Friday
This morning we had French toast! Eso!! Got ready and left back to Loja. I got to the house and nobody was there! Oh my gosh! So we went to the church and called E archila he went to Zamora! Oh man! I was so mad! Are you kidding me?! So we went back to Zamora and then came back here. 5 1/2 hours of driving for me! Got back at 2:30 and Pres. Alexis called us and he wanted to give someone a blessing so he came to the house we got my oil and gave this girl a blessing. Then ran to lunch at 4:20! I was starving! Then we went to try to find some people. We had no luck. For the first time in Loja I didn't put my sweater on! This grandpa gave us some sugarcane and his wife scared the heck out of me! We taught a good lesson 3 and the girl excepted the baptismal date! Today it's not even that cold! So weird! Ate my superhard sugarcane! It's not ripe yet. I saw a tarantula!! So huge!
Saturday
I woke up total Chevere Took a warm shower even better! Aw! Got ready and we studied I had a good study! Then we studied what we were going to talk about in the meeting. Then we went I changed up how we do things and it was great! I loved what I shared about direct contacting! We went and tried to work and then we folded clothes for a lady who will come to church next week. Then we went to Papa Antonio and Rosia they are so fun and so old! We waited forever for Papa Antonio to feed cows and horses. We were mad. Then we visited some folks leaving living proof of the tall and spacious building. A truck full of people laughing at us! Then we went to talk to our baptismal date then Papa Antonio stole my dollar that day. Then we did changes I went with Elder anrango it was good. My comp doesn't like being obedient! So I had to pay so we could be home on time. I made an egg sandwich.
Sunday
Woke up at 6:00 went to church part of the ceiling fell down so we hurried and cleaned that up! Then we got a car and went to our investigators and nobody was there! So we went to our appointment and this old guy came out to talk to us and slammed the door so I knocked again and then he yelled she is not here! And slammed the door! We went to church and then president Garcia gave a great class about fathers and mothers I gave the closing prayer. I had a hard time with my companion! We went to give a blessing but she looked fine. Then we went to David's and he gave us some pears and talked to us about some problems in his life!
Blood on my sheets this morning from my fleas!
