Feliz Cumplemeses!! 2 months on the mission. Where does the time go?!

This week sped by once again. It was a wonderful week! We had changes last Sunday, but didn't get changed which was nice :)  We met so many wonderful people and enjoyed the week. I'm going to come back ratchet and black because of Sister Finley. Also, we eat so much fried chicken. Its delicious. :) ha ha Well , this week, we had a baptism. Her name is Shesly

. As you can see, from the picture we didn't know how to spell it, so we nicknamed her lil mama...but erased it 2 seconds later. ha ha  we had a good laugh :)   It was awesome. All the ward was at the temple that night, but all the family was able to get there. We started 2 hours late though because we're running on Ecuadorian time and satan really doesn't want people to make covenants with the Lord. The family´s car broke down and they were stuck far away for a long time. Finally, they arrived and we were able to begin :) It was so beautiful, the messages that were shared, the Spirit that was felt, and the testimonies that were born. The family is less active in the church, but they are part of our "crecimiento real" and are slowly coming back. :) They see the blessings in their life as they come closer to God :)

This Sunday the relief society sang in Sacrament and it was beautiful. Even if Sister Finley and I were the only people you could hear...and we were singing alto...and we had so much phlegm in our throats and were so sick. hahahahaha  we have fun. ha ha :) The ward is great. Individually. As a group...they need to learn unity. :/   We´re working on that though! :)  We live right next to the US embassy, so we have like 7 or 8 families from the US and they are awesome :) love them!! 

This week, our quadpanionship break apart and we start working in companion ships. Its a bummer, but it's for the best. We still get much more work done :) I'm excited. Its good now that we know our way around here :)  Life is great! I know I vent sometimes, but I really love the mission. I learn soooo much. I will come back a changed woman. for the better i hope...jhahaha :) and my English will suck! :o    We find our selves asking "how many years do you have?" and questions in English with Spanish grammar all the time. we´re weirdos. hahaha

This week, sister Finley got bit by a dog...on the butt. hahahahaha she only had a little bruise though. The next day, I got bit by a dog on the elbow. He was a frisky dog. he likes duh white meat. hahaha.  That day, sister Finley and I were together while our companions had a lesson just near by. She and I contacted 26 people that night, found 2 new families to teach, and had 4 lessons. It was so good. Unfortunately, we don't get those numbers with our companions, but its OK. We have learned that everyone still learns everyday, no matter how long they have on the mission :) It was so fun. We would go to bus stops and talk to everyone. Find groups of people and meet them all. hahaha. We had a goal to find 2 families. We were in this pueblo, Zambiza, and were like walking down this dirt road...there's no one and nothing. We see way far away a family and were like omg...that's a family! they're getting in the house!! act quick! and sister Finley just yells.... "BUENAS TARDES!!!" and we ran over and found out they are super awesome and were super receptive to have us come over and visit them! :)   

I can testify that we receive so much more blessings and success when our whole heart is in the mission and you exercise charity to everyone. We are given weaknesses to work on them and build them to become our strengths. <<We should all recognize that and enjoy life. God loves each one of us so much and is just waiting to bless us! :) just come to Him. ask Him questions. Pray. He will answer. Its a promise. I know because I have experienced it and see it everyday. I love you all and I pray for you all the time. Stay strong y'all. ªsnaps fingas in Z formationª      The church is TRUE. I share that in the name of Jesus Christ. amen!! !! :)
