Dearest Familia mio!
My week wasn't that
exciting but not every moment of the mission has to be exciting
right? So this week we didn't have any baptisms BUT the siblings of one
of my conversos got baptized so we got to watch that! It's amazing how the
gospel changes people! This family was sooo shy before and now they are all
happy and excited about life and say hi to people in the ward and TALK! its soo
awesome to see people change like that.
This week we had 10
people in church and we only brought 1. the other nine came on their own! how
awesome is that. 6 of the 9 are a family... ish, mom, her dad, kids and cousins
but they are soo awesome and I'm soo excited to see them get baptized como una
familia!
Cambios were a little
crazy this week because one of the ZL´s had cambios Monday but our new ZL was coming from the Galapagos SO he didn't
get here until Saturday! (that's how cambios work when part of the
mission is in the middle of the ocean). It didn't effect us (the hermanas) that
much, it was just strange to have one ZL.
Yesterday I sang in church... I feel like it's my
calling to sing at all the baptisms and in church.. oh well! haha but we sang
"as sisters in Zion" and changed the words to be for everyone. pretty
cool!
So I've hit the point
where I can read the scriptures in Spanish and I understand all of it! and I
love it! and I learn soo much! and I don't understand how I didn't feel this
way before about the scriptures! They are sooo cool and all the stories
literally can help everyone in one way or another! I sooo much took for granted
the book of Mormon before and now I just want to read it all the time! I can't
wait to get home and show you guys my scriptures because they are sooooo cool!
haha
Just know: I know that
the BOM is another testament of Jesus Christ. Every word in that book was
inspired of God. Through the book of Mormon we can find every answer we ever
needed. all the inspiration that we ever needed. The Book of Mormon changes
lives and its changed mine over and over and over again. I'm soo grateful for
the opportunity I have to be a missionary and serving the Lord and the people here
in Ecuador everyday!
I love you all! Tenga
una buena semana!
