Hola
mis amigos y familia!
This
week was super boring so this email will probably be super short.
Tuesday
through Thursday we were locked up in the house and still couldn't do
anything. Our days consisted of sleeping, eating, reading, playing
the ukelele, and watching church movies. There were a lot of moments
of complete boredom and other times when we had some good laughs, but
I'm glad to say it is over.
Friday,
our Branch President called our Mission President and told him that
Tena is super calm and there aren't a lot of problems here, so we had
permission to go out and work. The only problem was that there
weren't any buses and we had planned to go to Archidona. Instead we
stayed close to our house and visited some less actives and then
later went to see if we had references like any other Friday. We also
downloaded the new Book of Mormon video so we have one more new one
to watch. We had to be in our house at 6pm, so not everything was
back to normal.
Saturday
we were also able to go out, so we went searching for a less active,
but couldn't find him. We went to go contacting and the first house
we knocked on let us in! We had a lesson with them and afterward we
ate lunch. We decided to go to a family we are teaching which was
kind of far and we had to walk through the more center part of town
which could be dangerous because there were suppose to be people
marching. Luckily there wasn't, and we had the lesson. Later as we
were returning my companion said we should go home because the people
marching should be coming back so we got to the house a little bit
earlier than six. Later the Elder's Quorum President came and told us
that the Area Presidency announced that we will not have church
meetings due to the protesting so we were told to bless the sacrament
by ourselves.
Sunday,
we got ready for church like normal and held our own Sacrament
Meeting which consisted of an opening hymn, the Sacrament, and then a
closing hymn and prayer. We were told we couldn't go out so we stayed
in the house once again.
Today
the Branch President stopped by and said the protesting has stopped
in all of Ecuador so we are able to leave now!
Sorry
if you found this week boring, I did too, jaja. Until next week!
Elder
Tolman
