But first I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to my best friend!! EMMA! hahaha

18 is legit...well I mean it’s just another year but happy birthday!!!

haha I love the mission! its legit I have grown so much in such short time its sweet but the time just flies by here I am almost at 6 months! haha

I was thinking the other day like how much I would really miss Eden if I left because transfers are this week! because the people here are just amazing haha they are really dorky and like every Sunday is another singles ward movie but I just love it!! haha this week win priesthood we were talking about how the mom of Gordon B. Hinckley had like 13 kids and they teacher his name is brother Whilman. he said that like members we need to have a ton of kids because if not we have to go find the kids that got born in non-member families and share the gospel haha and then at the end he added it’s just not Effective!!!! haha I was seriously dying haha it was really funny! haha

well guys I love this work and I love being here in Ecuador!!

5 months!!

Wow as of yesterday I have been out 5 months here in the mission!! that’s just nuts haha it blows me away!! but at the same time it’s pretty legit! haha 

this week was really short but it was good! haha we got to meet with a bunch of our investigators and work with them! 

We got to have zone conference like I said last week but it was just really cool one thing that I love is from the Liahona from January I think was a talk about keeping focused on what is really important in the church like the basic doctrines! and how important it really is to know that basic stuff and live them everyday!!! 

I absolutely love this Gospel and the opportunity to serve the Lord! I love you guys and thank you so much for all of the support!!!

Hey sorry for the short Email!

So today we went to Isla Santay! so i wasn't able to write you guys a letter but i just wanted to say that with me everything is perfect! i as a little sick this week but now I'm all good! its still raining but i love the coolness haha

So i just want to share a little spiritual experience. We we talking to a old investigator and (my comp is a little serious) and he asked him why are you so dang serious? hahaha and then he said something i will never forget!!

He said ¨Tu sonrisa es la guía para tu cuerpo y mente ¨

or in English its a smile is a guide to your body and mind and its so true. maybe we are sad of serious or having a hard time but if we learn to smile more we can have a positive outlook on everything in life!! I love to be happy and i will do anything to be happy haha well not anything hahahha but you know what i mean! haha i hope you guys do the same!!! haha i love you guys! and please just smile :)
