Ok so this week was so
crazy and I have so many things to say but like there is not enough
time...but I'll try! Ok so first GOODBYE YELLOW CAVE! Se we moved out of
our other house which was literally like a litlle cave that had no
windows and no light (like one time the power went out at 9 am and we
had to use flashlights because we literally couldn't see anything) and
the walls were painted yellow and it was just crazy being in there with 6
of us and we just needed somewhere new. Anyway, we now live in a
wonderfully big apartment that has lots of windows and natural light and
it's so great! We can really feel the spirit there and it is just a
really good change. We moved on Saturday with the help of the Elders and
some members and so we have a good 2 solid days in this new house. AND
guess what......there are two working bathrooms WITH HOT SHOWERS.....yep
you read that right. One of the only houses in the mission with hot
showers....we used to be the house that no one wanted to stay in if they
had to come to Guayaquil and we suddenly turned into the most wanted.
So let's just say I'm pretty content! Things are good. The house is so
pretty. It really feels like a home and kinda reminds me of the United
States...it's nice. One day when I get a new camera, I'll send you pics.
Also, think my companion is sending some pictures.
This
week went really well. We had 4 people in sacrament meeting and we were
soo happy! I realized I haven't told you guys much about who we are
teaching but I'll try to change that. So, I'll start today. So there was
this lady from another ward that gave us a reference a while ago of her
friends that live in our area and we went and taught them a few times
but they didn't really progress so we kinda stopped visiting them for a
little bit and then one Sunday we were out doing visits with the ward
and I was with some members and wasn't with my companion and we
literally visited everyone in that area that I knew and I was like oh
my, what do we do, where do we go? And I was just like praying and
asking what we should do and this thought came into my mind to go to
this family. We wanted to meet the dad because we had never met him and
we were told that he could usually be found of the weekends so I was
like should we go? And I was kinda doubting it but then I remembered
something that Elder Rasband told us that we just need to follow our
first impressions from the spirit so.....we went. The husband was there
and we set up an appointment. I was super happy and we went to the
appointment that week but he wasn't there.....and I was like why??? BUT
the Lord has a plan. The son, Daniel, who's 20 was there and HE IS SO
RECEPTIVE. Like we were just sitting there teaching him and he was just
taking it all in, like so amazed. He even looks like an Elder. Like, I
really really want him to progress because he needs to go on a mission. I
can see his potential! Ah he and all his family went to church this
week and it literally made me so happy! Pray for them because they are
honestly so good! Also this other lady who we taught named Leonella came
to church as well. We only taught her once but I love her. She is
someone we contacted on the bus but she is prepared. Pray for her too!
So needless to say things are good here and we just gotta keep working! I
hope you all have a super great week! Love you guys!
