Vacunas, divisiones y lluvia!!!!

Wow this week was great haha first off we had to get vacunas ( vaccines) so i got like a 3 inch needle in my arm haha but i got to see Elder bowser and Elder meckighan again which is always awesome! haha and then later that day we got a phone call from the assistants to the president saying that we were going to have divisions!!!!!! which freaked me out haha but i was with Elder Paim! He is from Brasil from where Rhet served his mission! but he is sooo awesome and I learned a ton from him haha i was super glad we had divisions that day and then.. RAIN!!!! it rained a lot this week and i loved it! haha like i wish it could rain everyday here it would be soo nice!! 

i heard it rains a ton in Cuenca...... i may be praying to go there.......

haha but everything is awesome in our area and my companion is teaching me a ton! i am so glad that Elder salazar is my companion haha it will be a sad day when me or he has to leave!!!!

2017!!!!!WOOHOO

Haha I really don’t know why it’s such a grand thing it’s a new year but everyone here haha that is like they day they live for! Haha it’s pretty hilarious! But things are just great here I’m working hard and we can see our fruits we got 2 new baptism dates this week!! Haha I went on exchanges with Elder Terrones and he was super helpful!! Haha

So my spiritual thought for this week is for all of the guys reading thing email haha and it is in 2 Nephi chapter 1 verse 21. My question is the same as a dying prophet Lehi are you a man!?!?! 

Haha I absolutely love this scripture the words that Lehi chose to say to lamen and lemuel to be better is wake up and be men!! Sometimes we think of being a man as just not being chicken but its more it’s all about the priesthood and our responsibilities!! Are you doing your home teaching? Are you visiting the sick? Are you doing everything in your power to bless the lives around you? ARE YOU A MAN? Haha 

I love you guys thank you for your prayers! I pray for all of you every day!!
