Familia,
I honestly can't believe that this week I will have 16 months in the mission. The time is literally flying before my eyes!! This week has been such a good week full of miracles and full of hard work and sweat and being very very tired! ha ha but I love this work soo much! I am soo grateful to my goodly parents says Nefi of teaching the great principle of hard work!! Here, I see kids well jovenes (youth) and stuff that really don't know how to work hard and it just hurts me to see that some missionaries are just out here taking their time doing what they want! I'm like come on man!! Lets go to work!! Let's get some baptisms! That's why were here!
Well it was awesome this week. On tuesday we had leader training with President Torres. In the morning we had the great opportunity to go do a session in the temple! I have done 4 sessions now in my whole life! In order to go to the temple we had to get up at 3:30! Ohh my gosh that was a killer. Especially getting and taking a cold shower at 3:30. (was not that fun at all!) In the shower doing the hoki poky- right foot in right foot out!! ha ha so funny! Then we had training/counsel and it was awesome!! So espiritual and just so powerful. We have a lot of work to do!! A lot to baptize! I love it!! After, I was soo tired!!! ha ha
On Wednesday I wasn't feeling too well. It's the food I ate I think.. but its alright!! I felt better thursday!
During the days wednesday and thursday we worked with the missionaries helping them to realize the importance of this great work which I love! Everyday I LOVE getting up doing a.... (barely any exercises because I am so tired but I do a little) but then to study the scriptures!! I LOVE studying them!! The hour that I have!! I love it soo much!! I wish every single person had this chance!! I love reading the scriptures every day!!
Then saturday we had our reunion (meeting) with our missionaries it went really well I thought. In our zone there are only 5 gringos and the other 13 are latinos! It's funny! From all lugares (places) of the world! After it was SUPER COOL!! What was happening was that there was a HUGE thing going on in our sector. ALL of a sudden comes a super nice black car with TONS of security and out comes President Correa!! The president of this country!! He was 1 block from where we live!!! WHAT!! I wanted to shake his hand, but i didn't!! So that was super cool!!!
Sunday. Turns out we had to give talks again. It went really good, I shared my talk on the sacrament and the importance of it!! I hope it went well! It was funny even the bishop of the ward was taking notes and writing down the scriptures I shared with the ward!! ha ha Super cool!! Then I made patacones and they were delicious!! ha ha. I love this work and love being a missionary!! Thanks for all your prayers and support!!
