Hey everyone!
 |
| The 8 of us that stayed in Guayaquil in one house! Talk about crazy...and talk about having to share showers...haha |
So
this week we had almost no time to work in our sector because we went
to Guayaquil on wednesday and didn't return until Sunday...talk about
crazy. Let me just say I never ever want to travel and be away from my
sector 4 days and have to verify various baptismal dates ever again! Ah,
so hard. Trial of my faith and patience. But it all worked out, our
zone leaders and hermana leaders went to our sector and taught our
people so that's good! It was hard to coordinate everything while being
so far away, but the Lord blessed us and helped us and even though
everything didn't work out how I thought it would or how I thought it
should, I know the Lord knows best and we will be blessed for trying.
Anyway,
so the reason we went to Guayaquil was because there was a huge
Christmas event in a park called Parque de Las Semanes and it's HUGE.
They told us it's one of the biggest parks in South America. Anyway, my
companion and I were part of the choir and we sang prelude music before
the show started. The purpose of this was to attract the attention of
the people so that they would come watch the show. The show included
different cultural dances by the members and choirs and orchestras (all
from the members, so cool, there was so much talent) and then there was a
presentation and message about Christmas and the birth of Christ and it
was sooo good. Missionaries from Guayaquil North, South, and West
missons sang in the choir and we sange like 10 songs and they were so
pretty. Also there were nativities set up all around with missionaries
as the figures and the people could go there and take a picture and then
after we wrote down their information so that we could send them the
picture...and also send the missionaries to their house....I don't know
who thought of this idea but it was genious. So many references! Too bad
they are probably all for Guayaquil...but it's okay..it's all the
Lord's work! Anyway, it was so fun to be there and to feel the Christmas
spirit, and most of all to feel the spirit of Christ. I won't soon
forget this Christmas, it is definitely one to remember. I hope you all
have a very Merry Christmas! Love you all! Feliz Navidad!
Love,
Hermana Roylance
