Family!


How was Christmas for you guys?? I know I HAD A LEGIT CHRISTMAS! I loved everything! The Calendar is my favorite thing from Christmas!! I am so glad I got to skype you guys! I LOVED seeing you and hearing your voices! I will try to upload all my photos to google drive for you guys! I LOVE YOU LOTS! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS.....yesterday

I hope you all had a great Christmas! I know I did! Even though there was no snow and we almost melted it was good! One thing about the way the people celebrate Christmas here is a little odd. Christmas Eve is more of a party than Christmas day, and everyone celebrates by playing music AS LOUD AS THEY CAN ALL NIGHT! We didn’t get any sleep that night! But it was a good Christmas Day. We went to church and then taught 3 new families about the gospel and they all said they want to learn more so thats good! 

Through this past week we had a tri-zone conference and our mission president came and spoke to us. He spoke about the importance that we always remeber the purpose of everything that we do. No matter what happens, we need to remember that we are sons and daughters of our Loving Heavenly Father and never let anything tells us more make us feel otherwise. 


Thank you all for the support and my choice to serve a mission. I love you all! Merry Christmas....yesterday...

ALMOST CHRISTMAS TIME IN ECUADOR!

I know it is almost Christmas time every where else too, but anyway! IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS TIME! 

This past week has been so great! Elder Golpe and I gave a Libro de Mormon to a family (The Vaque Family) this past week and they were so excited for it! We are planning on proposing a baptismal date soon! We hope they will accept it! 

(Here is a bit of info about the family if you would like to know)
They are a family of 4 people.
 The father, Richard.
 The mother, Jessica. 
A son, Joagol. 
And a daughter, Anabell. 
They have come to church with us twice and said they liked it a lot. They husband and wife aren’t married, so we are going to talk to them about the Law of Chastity with them soon and propose the idea of them getting married

This past week I had the opportunity to explain the blessings that come from the Book of Mormon with 3 kids of a family of members. When I was sharing my testimony with them I shared the scripture Mosiah 24:14 with them and talked about the power of prayer. I love the message in Mosiah 24:14 because it explains that even in our hardest trials we always have our Lord God with us by our side. It may be hard to see the hand of God during our trials but he is always with us. There is a song that goes perfect with that scripture, My Everything by Owl City. If you guys have time I suggest you listen to that song!

Guys, I love it here. I have learned so much here! I can not believe how fast the time has gone! Thank you all for the support! Feliz Navidad!
