First area-Quevedo, Ecuador-Week 7 and a baptism already!

So I'm in Quevedo, Ecuador! its great out here mom! the members are so welcoming and feed us lunch every day! I love the food here.... but not the fish, luckily I've only had it once! My trainer is Hermana Scott! She is from Ohio and super sweet and loving! She has been out for 6 months now. she is helping me with my Spanish! 

So i have some cool stories for you! so we had a lesson with a lady for the very first time (on my very first day) and I'm still learning the language so my comp does most of the teaching but at the end I felt STRONGLY impressed to share my favorite scripture with her which his 2 Nephi 22:2 after I shared it I testified about it and why it is my fav and I started crying and she was crying! She felt the spirit sooo strong It was amazing! 

we had a baptism on Saturday! my first baptism! when I got there Jorge Peña, the guy that got baptized already had like all of the lessons and a date. I only taught him one lesson but I love him and his wife which was less active until they started having the lesson. My comp said that when they started teaching them, Jorge would not look at them but now he is baptized! haha ive only known them for a week but they already love me so I count him as my baptism! that was my week!!

I love you so very much mom and very grateful for all that you have given me!
