Hola!!! HAPPY FATHERS DAY YESTERDAY!!!!! Dad I
love you so much!!! I´m sorry that I couldn't spend it with you, but just know
that you are the best Father I could ever ask for! You guys will have to send
me pictures of what you all did! They do celebrate Fathers day here, but we
didn't really do anything special.Wow this week went by so fast! I cant even
believe it! Today there were changes, but we didn't have any because we have only
been together for 3 weeks. A lot of people in our zone had changes which
makes me kind of sad because I really liked all of them. Changes are the worst
part of the mission! Its sad because you don't know when you are going to see
these people again! Oh and this week I am going to finish 7 months in the
mission! Isn't that crazy!? I have less than a year left! Time is going by so
fast that it scares me!
Ok so today
we finally got to go do something! We went to Mitad del Mundo ( Middle of the World)! It wasn't as cool
as we thought it would be, but we took a lot of pictures so I will send them later!
We just went by ourselves and walked around looking at a bunch of touristy
things to buy and took pictures with the monument that they have there. Oh also
we went to the planetarium but it was kind of disappointing...
This
week the work has been a little hard cause everyone is just obsessed with the
world cup! Hahahaha we were knocking doors (well ringing doorbells and talking
to people through their speaker) the other day and we were playing the game
like they do in the movie Errand of Angels where they try to get the person to
talk to them for more than 10 seconds (but we are in South America so we did it
for a minute). It was really funny! Apparently there was a soccer game going on
because when a guy answered and we told him who we are he almost started crying
and said "What? Why are you talking to me right now? Don't you know that I
am watching soccer? Why would you do this to me!?" and then hung up. We were laughing so hard!
Oh
so thanks to Fathers day and Ecuador playing yesterday no one came to church!
well one of our investigators did, but even half the members weren't there. Oh
and guess who gave a talk yesterday in church!!!..... Hermana Chamberlain! I
talked about the importance that we endure to the end and cumplir (whats that
word in english?) with all of our baptismal covenants! There are so many
members who are inactive, but still have a testimony just because they think
that it is too hard or think other things are more important or are just lazy!
THIS IS OUR SALVATION ON THE LINE! And all of us missionaries in our ward sang
a special number. Hermana Finley has such an amazing voice! Like one of the
best I have ever heard!
I have really learned this week the importance of companionship prayer!
So for a few days Hermana Finley and I hadn't been doing our companionship
prayer, not because we didn't want to just because it always worked out that we
were so tired that by the time one of us was out of the bathroom the other one
was already asleep. I didn't think that it was that big of a deal, but I think it
was really effecting us. One night I was kind of annoyed (I don't even
remember why) and Hermana Finley asked if we could do our companionship prayer before going to bed. As soon as she started praying I immediately felt peace and I didn't feel mad anymore! I know that Satan really tries to get us in any way that he can but if we are always doing the things that we should then there wont be room for him in our hearts! I love you guys soooooooo much!!!!
We Sang in Church!
