Ethan Rasmussen Quito Ecuador Mission June 2021 - June 2023

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well! This week was great besides I got a like a bad cold for 3 days! This week we really saw miracles it was so awesome!  So we have been teaching this family of 5 for about three weeks and they are awesome. First of all we found this family through our recient convert jazmin, the mom is sisters with her. The mom was always into it and wanting to learn more and so were the kids! But the dad was pretty tough! We worked so hard and prayed for him to quit certain things and he did it! Then like 4 days before the baptism he said he needed more time, we invited him to prayed if he really did need more time, 2 days before the baptism he said yes he wants to get baptized! It was such a miracle it was so awesome to see the whole family get baptism and see how happy they were! The Lord really works miracles!  This week im pretty excited we get to go to Colombia for Stake conference so that's gonna be pretty sweet! We have found a bunch of more peop...

Hey everyone! Not much crazy really happened this week besides that we have transfers and yeah nothing happened! Me and my comp are saying here again for 3 transfers together! We been really trying to find more people to teach but it's been quite  difficult   This week is our focus because we have a Family baptism planned for this Sunday which we are super hyped for! Its pretty sure too! This transfers gonna be a little nuts I know because it's my last transfer for my mission president and there's gonna be alot going on hahah. But yeah really not much else super loco this week but took a few pics like always!

  Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing good! I love being a Missionary! So many awesome adventures and helping people  to come to know Jesus Christ! Today is the last day of the transfer and we are gonna find out what happens tomorrow! This week was good, a little slower than normal because we are still looking for more people to teach but that's okay!  But yes it's true I finally ate guinea pig, but not only did I eat it I got to roast it in a fire too! Not gonna lie it wasn't terrible but it wasnt good either hahah. Yesterday we went to the little town Tufiño that's 30 min out of Tulcan and went to the house of our recient converts to make the cuy (guinea pig in spanish)! Had a good life lesson this week also! To always remember you blessing that you have and to thank heavenly father for these blessing because everyone has different diffuclties! We are teaching this guy that has been on Dialysis for 15 or so years and it's really hard for him to see his blessings ...

  Hey everyone!! Hope everyone is doing well! Pretty good week! Last Monday we went to that lake that was 13,000 ft in altitudes and it was freezing but so sick! Took a bunch of pics below! This last week we have been really trying to find more people to teach! So that's been taking up a lot of the time! We haven't had alot of luck but we are still trying! We have 2 people for baptism date this Sunday and we are working with them for those to be sure! Times crazy! We only have 1 week left of the transfer and we are gonna find out what happens next Monday. Not much else crazy happened besides my comp gave me a hair cut for the 3rd time hahah.

  Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well! Super good week this week! We has a zone conference with a 70 in Otavalo! His name's Elder Bercera and he's our Area Presidente here in Colombia Ecuador and Peru! It was sick to hear what he had to say to us, I learned so much in just one day and I know that he's a real servent of the Lord! It was so awesome because that day in Ecuador the President of Ecuador annouced that masks aren't mandatory anymore! So Elder Bercera told us to all take off our masks! It was so weird seeing everyone faces it but it was so nice!! Here in Tulcán it's getting such much better there is not a lot people using masks and it's chilling out a bunch! On Saturday we had two baptisms with Jazmin and Alexandra that live in a small town 20 minutes out of Tulcan! We found them because Alexandra has a Twin that we found first and she was baptized two weeks ago and Jazmin is there cousin! They are so money and after we went to get some pizza with...
