6 months! - Quito North, Ecuador

Hey everyone! Last week I hit 6 months! Feels good having some time in the mission. Feels weird though because I feel new because I just got to this mission 3 weeks ago hahah. 


This week we had a baptism and I got to do it! We also had a christmas devotional in Quito with two other zones. We had to take a 5 hour bus ride on Wednesday to Quito and we ended up staying two nights in the mission home. When we went back to Quito I freaking out about how nice it was there, at least compared to where I am at in Quininde, and I was even a little culture shocked when I first got to Quito from Utah hahah. 

Spanish is coming along. Its pretty tough but I love the language, I already know the gift of tongues is real!

Merry Christmas!!

I am so grateful for this time of year and the birth of Jesus Christ. I have really come to know my Savior just in these past 6 months! Christ has really felt all of our pains and our sufferings. It's hard to comprehend because even just for one person sounds crazy. But I know this to be true. He can really lift our burdens because of his Atonement! 

Hope you all have a good Christmas !

Quito! - Quito North, Ecuador

  Hey everyone! Fat minute since I wrote an email but here I am! Last transfer I was only in an area for one transfer in Otavalo, it was literally on a volcano and the people were indigenous and it was just straight farm land. Even the Sacrament meetings were in Quechua. It was pretty dope honestly I got to learn a little bit of language. But then I got transferred about a week ago... Now I'm in the big city of Quito as a "finder" basically an assignment that we just contact all day and we just teach one lesson w people and it's like a lesson to really see if they are interested, and if they are we pass the to the area in the zone! So it's actually really dope but we are traveling a bunch and meeting a lot of new people. Also there's four of us and 2 of them are freshies from the mtc! And last week was awesome because we were able to find some that wants to get baptized in the future!
