Mom!!
Que trunkie eres! jajaja Te amo bastante!
Not going to lie, the time is passing by super fast... and I dont like it. Not one bit. I totally forgot about mothers day, but ill look for a place to skype! Whats the time differences? Happy to hear about Lil baby Lincoln! I bet he's the cutest baby since me! jajaja
I had a great week! I had exchanges with the sister training leader this week and we had a great time. Im just going to say that Ecuador is awesome and I have the best mission in the world! Why you may ask? Well the people of ecuador are amazing, the food is dilicious, Pres Riggins is the best man i have ever met, and i got to hold a squirel(ya, dont know how to spell anymore...)!
As members of the true church of Jesus Christ we should be proud to procalm the truth! There is no reason to fear. The Lord is always on our side if we are walking in his ways. He has our backs and will help us through anything. So my dear family be BOLD, share the glorious truth with everyone that you can! If you dont more blessings will rain down upon your heads!
I love you all!

We had a baptism! Vanessa Correa! She is 19 years old and she has a lot of family in the church! she told me after her baptism that she felt sooo good and she couldnt describe how she felt because she felt so amazing!
Remember last week how is said that the rain wasnt going to be a problem? Well we only had the biggest storm in 20 years! It rained sooo hard that part of the sector got flooded! We walked through that part cause we had appointments set up and we wanted to check on the families we have there. The water was an inch or 2 past my knees and in the houses of people.Everyone was ok... just with a lot of water! Just imagine 2 white girls in skirts walking around the flooded streets of ecuador! It was fun! The Elders didnt enjoy so much.... haha they refused to enter and the members called them out on it saying that the sisters are working harder! My comp said that the night before the storm sounded like world war 3! I wouldnt know, some how i slept through it..... normally any little sound wakes me up so i have no clue how i slept through it.
this week was a good week! we are working really hard and our numbers are great! I havent had such a great week in along time!
I love just getting work done! Coming home really tired but knowing I helped a lot of people that day! Its addicting and I never want it to end! I know that this is the work of the Lord, and when we are working in it we are the Angels sent from God to be His instruments. What could be better than that? NOTHING!
Lots of love,

Buenas Tardes!!
I'm doing great! We should have a baptism this saturday! We got a reference from some of our invest who are getting married soon who wants to get baptized! Her name is Vanessa, she had been listening in a different sector and then move over. She had been attending church and has strong desires to be baptized! She had her interview and is set to go!!!! Pray for her that she can give up Coffee and be baptized saturday!!!
I Love my mission, it really is the most amazing thing that ive ever experienced! I have the strongest desires to just work, help people, and serve the Lord! I have grown a lot in many ways, spiritual, in my confidence, in the ability to teach and well... in pant sizes but thats ok! jajaja The rain isnt that big of a problem right now, just alot of sun.
I know that this is the only true church in the earth and that it is lead by a living prophet today. It is thanks to our Savior that we are saved from sins through the power of His Atonement, grace and mercy) If it wasn't for His Atonement we would be lost forever. Share the gospel with everyone!
I love you guys!

Buenas Tardes!
I'm doing great! We got a bapt coming up at the end of the month! Angelo, he had a problem with drinking and we were passing by one night on our way home and he called us over while he was drunk and ask us to help him! Hes been sober for more than 2 weeks now! We´ll have a wedding next month for the family Gonzabay, they will be baptized the Saturday after wedding!! Sooo happy! We are working with lots of other people too.
My health is good! The food is really tasty and my extra pounds would testify about that. Im starting a diet this week! Its been raining on and off. when its not raining its hot and when it rains it rains hard!
They do celebrate esater but nothing like the states! They eat this nasty soup of every bean and grain ever with fish it and with rice(if you dont have rice then its not a complete meal) at night people walk around in a line sing songs of praises. Everybody gets drunk... Not cool.
But the important things is that we have a loving Heavenly Father who sent his Son. Thanks to our Savior we can be made clean and over come any trail. I know that He lives. I know that families are forever and im so grateful for the one I have!
Love

The tallest next to the shortest, He´s C. Contreras! He got baptized the following Saturday after i had transfers from my last sector. One of my favorites Converts! We literally saved him from the darkness! he was soo close to giving up on God. I knew him for 3 months before I started teaching him. The Lord told me, "just wait a little longer" for 3 months, until one day when he walked in during a lesson with his dad the Lord told me "NOW, DONT LET HIM GO!" It was an amazing experience teaching him! He would study the pamphlets and chapters in the BOM and take pages and pages of notes! At one point he was almost was a catholic priest which takes years to accomplish. He decided not to become it because he wanted to have a family! The Lord truly prepares people! SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH EVERYONE!!!!!!
