Today
I don't have a lot of time to write but I have more pictures so
hopefully that makes up for it.
Monday
we went to Mr. Joy which if you don't know what that is, it's a
playground for big kids. Then we visited someone that night and got
her to finally promise to come to church but turns out she couldn't
because that Sunday people were going to walk in the streets with a
baby Jesus so she was going to be able to sell a lot.
Tuesday,
all of our lessons fell but one and we were able to teach her about
the Book of Mormon which was nice. Later we went contacting and also
to find people who hadn't been coming to church. We stopped by a
recent convert named Marcelo who is having some doubts with the
church so we tried helping him resolve them. He was very grateful for
our visit because he hasn't been able to go to church and needed
someone to clarify things for him. It was super hard. Recently we
have had really hard lessons and I think what I have learned the most
is that I need more patience and love so that is something I have
been working on.
Wednesday,
we did exchanges with the district leader. He came to our area with
Elder Mora and I went with Elder Chapman. It was super fun and at
night we stayed in the zone leaders house and talked for a long time!
Thursday,
I was super tired and it was hard to work. We had lunch with a super
cool family and then later we were able to teach a less active recent
convert and he came to church!
Friday,
we took a picture with Santa and later contacted in the streets. We
were just walking in between cars while the light was red like all
the vendors do. It was super fun! Later taught the less active family
and taught about the plan of salvation. They had a lot of questions
some of which are hard to answer because they were about where a
person would go if they did something. I told them I don't know
exactly what will happen but they will receive a place they deserve.
I truly believe that God is a just God but also a loving father and
he will do what is best for us.
Saturday,
I started my 12 days of Christmas and now all of you can be in it to.
I am not sure how well the volume is but if you can hear the hint
pause the video and guess before you see what it is! jaja anyways we
went to lunch and the hermana asked us to return in an hour to help
with a service. We returned with a member and had to take a truckload
of dirt to the second floor of an unfinished house so they could
finish it. We used buckets and a pulley. Long story short we went
home super tired and sore and about 4 hours later!
Sunday,
we went after church with a member to visit people who had not come
to church. We also tried to visit Jose but he came with his wife and
they said they didn't like it so we set up another lesson to see if
we could try and save them. Then went contacting and were able to
find a few cool people!
Today
we offered to do a service in the morning to help clean so kitchen
equipment. When we got there we had to move a whole bunch of dirt and
garbage and also some guinea pig poop. Fun fact for those of you who
don't know, in Ecuador people raise guinea pigs like chickens and
then eat them. We went to a cool cave but were not in there too long
because it got to some small parts and we figured it was better if we
didn't try to go further. Later ate at the mall!
Got
to go now!
Les
quiero mucho,
Elder
