Hahaha So I just have to say I love Ecuador hahaha it’s really weird and has its problem but it’s my home now and it’s great!! I don’t want to be anywhere else right now!!! Haha
So I had the opportunity to be a wise man in a nativity this week and I am so grateful for that opportunity! I know that my Savior lives and that he is the only path that we can return to live with our father!!! Este Evangelio es todo para mi! yo amo mi Salvador y yo sé que nosotros podemos vivir juntos en el renio celetial despues este vida!!! You guys are awesome don’t ever forget the Lord in your life!!!!

One Month Down!!

wow! things go by fast here!!! haha so everything is great here haha the only problem is we got a new rule where we cant email very much anymore so i am sending a picture with a letter i wrote about this week for all you guys since i cant write much here!! haha just know everything is great!! my companion is hilarious and a goof but he is one of the hardest workers i know!

this week we had the awesome experience to see president moreno and he gave us a ride home and bought us food haha i love him he is amazing! our investigators are doing great they just need encouragement going to church haha that is the main challenge here is going to church!! haha

so spiritual time! i am sending a picture of my agenda because i love the picture of the Shepard's running to Bethlehem i want you all to read that part in Luke chapter 2 because we need to be like those Shepard's, we have a savior and we know we do and because of that we need to run to him!! I love you all!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENI!!!!!!!!!!! haha i have a picture for you im gonna send next week!!!

week 3 I love Ecuador!!!!

hey everyone!! haha this week was great i have so much i want to say but so little time! i love all you guys first off! but the mission changed rules and i can only email like one letter to everyone so just know I love ya!! haha but this week with our investigators was hard only two of them came to church but the didn't come to sacrament meeting soo  all of our dates fell!! which was really sad! but we are going to work really hard this week to get them to come!!!

a funny story that happened this week is we were teaching a recent convert and this dude was in the house working one the electricity and he had his knife and was just ramming it into  this outlet and i kept thinking man this guy is gonna die haha what is he doing and like the 5th time he did it he just started flipping out hahahha it was shocking him ahah but no one said anything so i was like dying inside!!! hahaha but he is okay now and alive it was just funny!! 

haha çour investigators we are working with now is jennifer, jamillth and monica they are all amazing and really need this gospel in there lives!!

haha so i studied a lot of captain moroni today and i love him!! haha we all need to make a covenant like him that we will always stand for christ because God wil only suffer us to be destroyed in our own transgressions so if people make fun of you for being mormon that's ok haha because the lord is on your side if you are choosing the right!!!! alma chapter 46

i love you all!!! 

shoulder to the wheel like a nascar crew!!!!

have a great week
