Hey there!!!!!
I hope you are excited I am coming home, because I am!!!! But I
am sooo freaking scared!!! It’s going to be like going into a new world!
hahahah nothing will ever be the same again!!!! Life will be super different
and I will be all like used to South America and not at all to the states and I
wont be able to talk to the people about the gospel the same way I used to do
and I will just be like working and doing school! Crazy! I am super excited!!!!
Oh yeah and my week!!!!
hahahahaha I have freaking killed myself working this week! I
have been walking everywhere and talking to literally every single family I
see!!!!! This week I have talked to 35 different families, which is way more
than I have done and than most missionaries usually do. I have been talking a lot! haha. Yeah I feel
really good about it! I also talked in sacrament meeting about the members and
how they have to help the missionaries be obedient to have blessings and if
they keep tempting them then they were not going to have missionaries here
anymore. And yeah they seemed like they were all super receptive.
So Monday. We finished writing
and then we went on divisions to visit two different families and it was really
good! I got to teach this older couple and they were really funny because they
always fight!!!!! And they just like bicker and then they would kiss each other
on the lips!!!! I love old people love!!!! It’s sooooo cute!!!! and yeah that
is how we ended the night!
Tuesday: a good long day of
work! I did divisions with a missionary named Elder Williams who was one of the
missionaries who went to Colombia and it was really good! I could see that he
is trying really hard to do well. The sad part is that while we were there some
13 year old girl called me saying that her cozen had died and that we needed to
go help and so we went over there and it was true. They were doing the funeral
for her and let me say that catholic funerals are horrible!!!! They have like
this huge bloody Christ on a cross and everyone just like screams. And the
saddest part was seeing the mom who they took us straight to and I tried to
talk to her and she just screamed and screamed and I couldn’t say anything and
she was screaming and begging for me to kill her.... she said that she just
wanted to die. I couldn’t help but cry too Em I felt soooooo bad for her. I
just wanted to fix it all but I couldn’t do anything. I HATE when I can’t do
anything to help people. hahaha I have gotten better on my mission with
accepting that I can’t always do everything for everyone, but I still try and
yeah I just had to leave after like 30 min but we did calm her down reading her
scriptures, which helped.
Wednesday: hahahah another day
of hard freaking work!!!! hahaha I guess the most exciting is that we were able
to talk to the montilla family, who are going to be baptized soon. They just need to be married and they will be
good! But they were lame because they did not come to church this week.
Thursday: We had to get up at
5 in the morning to go to Ibarra for the district meeting!!! Then we got home
at 7 at night! It’s a long freaking trip! but the cool part is that on the bus
we are allowed to see movies and yeah that is pretty cool until they put on bad
movies, then it freaking sucks!!!!! At night we just ended up contacting
(talking to people in the street) and we did well. hahaha that was it.
Friday: we went back to
teach the family who their daughter had died and it was super sad because the
mom was like just sitting there like a zombie not saying anything at all this
time. and yeah then we did a service with that same family that I taught
Monday, who are old and yeah we build ruff (roof hahahahahahaahah I have to
leave that typo because it’s funny) on their bathroom which they did not have
before. I don’t know how they lived
because it’s super freaking cold here all the time!!!! but yeah that was fun.
The only bad part is that the was they make ruffes here is by using these
really heavy ceramic shingles and they are heavy, but not strong because while
I was trying to also fix a hole they had in the ruff I was like walking out on
the ruff and one broke and I fell a little through and then another one broke
and then I fell a little more through and then I got out and broke a few more
and so while we fixed the ruff of the bathroom, I wrecked the ruff of the house
and I had to fix it all after!!!! hahah it was pretty funny!!!!! hahaha but
yeah that we the most exciting of the day!
Saturday: we worked a lot with
little outcome! hahaha but we did have a blessing in the night time finding a
family called the Roser Maldonado family, who are super cool. They live one
floor under us in the same building and we taught them and then they went to
church on Sunday! Really cool family!!!!
Sunday: I gave a talk in
sacrament meeting and I talked about the missionary rules and it was really
good! I felt like it helped to have them know what our rules are so they can
help the missionaries be obedient. That was my talk and then we had lunch and
then went top work, but with little success. But we worked our butts off!!! I
feel like I have been doing everything possible and I feel good about it!
That was my week! hahaha it was a good one and like I said I am
super happy! and it is freaking crazy to think that I will only have 2 more
Sundays officially with a name tag. Isn’t that weird!? It is for me!!! but I am
super happy!!!!
Oh by the way even though I probably have tons of parasites,
nobody needs to worry because there isn’t any Ebola in Ecuador! So you are
safe! Haha
Love,
Christian
P.S.
Yeah those aren’t my jeans in that picture you are right! That’s why they are
baggy! I don’t have any jeans anymore because I gave them away!!! I think you
will actually be kind of surprised about all the stuff that I have given
away!!!! hahahaha I know its bad but I just know that there are other people who
need it more!!!! I love you!
My companion took this while I was waiting for someone to come out of their house haha. He said that I smile ALL THE TIME even when people reject me it's funny haha.
P-Day Again!
