Hola Familia

How is everyone doing? I hope really well. We had another good week. We ended up traveling a lot this past week so we didn’t teach that many lessons but the people that we were teaching are getting ready for their baptisms. This week we went to Manta two times and to Bahia. Traveling takes up a lot of time but that’s part of the deal sometimes when we have assignments.

We are really excited for this week because the family that we have been teaching all this change is going to get baptized. The Alava Macias family who are family members of Rosa and Jacobo are going to get married this week and then baptized on Saturday. We have planned five baptisms for this week so we are going to work really hard so that all goes well.

I’m doing really well here in Ecuador. Everyday I learn something new. I couldn’t ask to be in any other place on earth. This is the last week of the change so maybe next week ill be emailing the family from my new sector. I’m hoping that I get to stay because the people here are so nice and I feel like I’m at home in this ward but I feel like ill be leaving. Were ever I am I know ill be doing the work of the Lord. I love and miss everyone a ton. Hope to hear from you all next week.
