Ecuador Quito Mission
Well this week went by faster than a condor on Cotopaxi. Hermana Barraclough and I did a couple of exchanges and that is always a fun twist in the week. One day when we did an exchange and when we all four got home and my companion and I were dying of hunger and Hermana […]
The 2nd week of the transfer is always great. Well, who am I kidding, every week is great! But this one was special because Hermana Barraclough and I attended 4 conferences (leadership, zone, zone, stake) and put into practice what we are learning. For example, we were taught to be friendly and real with every […]
The first week of a new change is always a blast. My new companion and I started off our relationship being stuck in the house for 48 hours straight. Now that is called bonding time. Luckily, I think she is hilarious and we get along great. On Monday and Tuesday we decided to paint […]
Happy Saturday! I am writing today because this Monday and Tuesday is “Carnaval” here in Ecuador-and most of Latin America. So my new companion and I will be stuck on the house together for 2 days straight! Woohoo oh yes, I got a new companion yesterday! Her name is Sister Barraclough and she is […]
Well, well, well! Guess what! We spent another P-day with the nurses haha. This time they came to us so that we could all go enjoy some waterfalls in Baños. It was a beautiful day. I love Ecuador and I love my companions!! This week Sister Beutler and I learned that this life is no […]
This week went flyin’ by. It was wonderful and all that I could ever wish out of a week. To start we went visiting Monday night and had some great plans. We went to an investigator’s house and….. she wasnt there. That’s not something new, honestly it is more common than the times when […]
Hello folks! This week was Powerful. We started strong at a leadership meeting in Quito where we got to here from Elder Montoya (our area president). He is so so wise and a literal spiritual genius. He spoke to us about the importance of teaching with love. What do new missionaries need to overcome their […]
This week was a spiritual adventure! The thing about the mission is that one has to set high goals and expectations in order to work to one’s full potential. This is good and we see lots of success, however with high hopes comes high disappointments. This week I have learned that we need to put […]
Wowee folks! The weeks are flying and the mission is great. Sister Beutler and I are working hard and seeing results! There is seriously nothing better. One of my favorite moments from this week was in a lesson with Mayra and Jorge (married couple with a baby). We taught them the Word of Wisdom which […]
Why, Hello there beautiful friends and family! Today I received a new companion! Her name is Sister Beutler and she’s from Sacramento, CA. This will be her last 6 weeks in the mission and I am so excited to work with her. I can tell that all she wants is to “leave it all in […]
