MARCH- Weeks 53-57

March 30

Im doing fantastic! This week has been a really interesting one. It rained like crazy! and there was mud everywhere, those crocs are getting a work out! One part of the sector got totally fooled. it would be up to just passed my knees. It didnt enter in there but the elderes that we share the sector with did. Because of the rain it was really hard to get people to come to church... lame... Its just water, come to church!!! 

The lord put MANY people in our paths this week! Like at least 5 different people called us over to talk to them! Asking us "when are you going to visit me?!" Some were less actives, others old investigatores, and some others complete drunks! Contacting drunks is fun! But dont worry, we are very careful with the drunks and we dont contact them if the spirit tells us not to. Many people have told that they know we are sent from God. One new invest, Marisa, that has18 years told us here life story. I stared crying a little to hear what she had to go through... Thank you mommy for raising me SOOO good! I LOVE YOU! 

Cant wait to hold lil Baby Lincoln!

Hola!

I'm doing great! Working hard and getting to know the sector still.... its huge!! We've had a lot of rain which means a lot of mud... about half of the sector is all dirt roads with houses made out of sugar cane sticks, its an adventure walking through there!

We are working on getting a couple married really soon and are excited to get married! Everyone we meet aren't married... sometimes they are but to someone else and the process to get divorced and married to a new person is like a year long... ecuador...

But there is nothing better than being in the service of the Lord! Im learning so much everyday that only strengthens me! I'm happy to hear that you guys are helping in the work! Im sure you guys are seeing miracles from doing so!

Lincoln kills me! He is sooo cute!! What day exactly was he born? He´s already been shown around here to some of the members of the ward! 

Im sad to hear about Matt and Lacey..... Matt is kicked out of the family. Im happy to hear that Mckay is having fun! 

Love ya lots!

Im doing great! My sector is freaking huge and sometimes we get lost... its fun out here in milagro! Sadly the comp of hna johnson before me wasnt all that great so we have some cleaning up to do! But the ward here is great and very supporting of the missionaries and we have lots of investigatores! The only problem is that none of them are married and we have to get them all married and thats hard here.... but hey, im here for a reasoning and im happy to be in the campo again! 

Sadly ive been slacking about taking pics but ill take lots this week!!

I loving being a missionary and preaching this amazing and true gospel! I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father and a Savior. This life is the time we have to prepare ourselves to meet Them. The gospel is the path that leads us back to them. We are the ones that choose if we are going to return or not!

Hello!!

I had transfers! Right now im in Bellavista, Milagro close to triunfo!! I was actual here for a intercambio like 6 months ago! My new comp is from Cali, Hna Johnson! She has 8 months but we were in the same zone when she just started her mission so we already knew eachother before! 

What miracles have i seen? Well the Lord opened my eyes yesterday, my last sector was full of miracles. I resuced a less active for 10 years, cecilia, her husband got baptized(RIchard) and this saturday thier son(Carlos) will get baptized! Just talking with my converts before i left about why they decided to listen to us, the Lord really does prepare people to hear us! 

I was hoping to see a pic of lil baby licoln! Tell him to come out already! Glad to hear that everyone is doing good! 

The weather is just hot with rain but nothing crazy! 

Lots of Love

March 2 (short email this week)

We are finding alot of new familias and we hope we can get them progressing! I have come to enjoy talking to random people about the gospel and helping feel the love of Christ! Its the best thing when you can see the lives of people changing and you can say, "I helped make that happen."
