Transfer to Quito!

 Ok, I don't have a ton of time to write so I will just tell you guys the most important things that happened this week! So this week we had a visit from Elder Waddell from the 70! Wow that was soooooo amazing! He served his mission in Spain so he has an accent haha, but wow seriously his teachings were amazing! Oh and he picked a couple missionaries in our mission to have interviews with him and guess who was one of the sisters!....... Hermana Chamberlain! yay!!! It was super cool to talk to him and I told him a little about dad cause they both went to Spain on their missions (different missions and different times) and when I told him about how dad has cancer he was like hey whats their home phone number? I think I want to call them. haha Yeah so that was super cool!
     Jamie and Veronica are doing great and they are all ready for their baptisms this next week! I am super happy for them! 
     So last night we were all happy getting ready to go to bed and we got a phone call from Elder Lino our district leader. We knew that there were going to be some changes for the Elders cause There are a few that are finishing their missions so they are in Quito today and tomorrow they are going home. So when he called we asked him what the changes are and who the new elders are in our district. He told us about the changes of the Elders and then he was like oh and by the way you guys have changes too. We were just like hahaha yeah elder very funny. But turns out it was true! So I had to wake up at 5 in the morning and pack all of my things to go to Quito! It was super sad cause I didn't have ANY time to say goodbye to anyone. We just talked to a few members that live close to us and then I had to go. We were the only sister that had changes so I traveled to Quito with three other elders which was a little awkward.... But now I am here!
       Wow Quito is sooooo different than Otavalo! There are TONS of people and cars and buses hahaha oh and we went to the mall to eat lunch when I got here and I seriously felt like I was in the states. This mall is huge and super nice! It reminds me a lot of the really nice one in Virginia that we like to go to.... it might be nicer. My Companion is Hermana Finley! She is from California and is SUPER funny! (like to talk in English... hope I don't lose my Spanish) She is an Hermana Lider which means that she goes on splits with the other sisters every week so I will have to go with other sisters in our zone while she does that... I heard its hard to be companions with an hermana lider but I´m sure that everything will be fine! Our house is super nice! I will send pictures!
