Whats up everyone! This week was different and I learned a lot of diffrent ways to do missionary work. Im feeling at home here and the mission just gets better and better with more time and knowledge. Lots of crazy events and fun times this week, lets get into it!

Highlights 🗣

-Buzzed my head

-My companions shoulder had been hurting so we went a member who is also a doctor, I think 😂. We went to get help for his shoulder, and it turned into a chiropractor adjustment. He asked if I wanted one and I said yes, that was a mistake 🫠, he just hit me with a mallet thing. Dont trust chiropractors in Ecuador.

- Went to an ancient temple with our stake president 💪.

- helped somone move, we played jello with everything in the back of a truck.

- interviews with my mission president, he dropped some hints about transfers next week, and gave so good advice about what to study.

- had intercambios(exchanges) with our ZL's, during that day we were in the chappel for district counsel and all the sudden the chapple got liberated by a whole bunch of gringos speaking english. It was a HXP group and they set up the church to give free dental, eye and overall health treatment. We changed our plans and stayed there and talked to everyone coming to get medical help, it was missionary heaven. A lot of the people comming were non members so we got a lot of refrences, and met and introduced the gospel to a lot of people

- Had some great lessons with Elder Barnett (ZL), he let me lead them, some of the most spirtual lessons ive had.

- The Mama Negra finale, we were instructed not to go proslighting because the party was so big, we went out early before the party and actually had success street contacting.

- Gave a 7 min talk at church with an hour notice. It was awsome my talk was about eternal families, Its awsome how the holy ghost works. I had what I wanted to say planned out in my head. When I started the  talk it all disappeared, I contuned with the best spanish I think I have ever spoke unplanned, directed by the Holy Ghost. Im confident the people needed to here those words. I had multiple people come up to me after and thanking saying they needed my message. Miricle🙏

-Espiritual pensamiento 🤘

This is from President Iring's most recent talk, "I bear witness that these moments are not evidence that the Lord has abandoned you. Rather, they are evidence that He loves you enough to refine and strengthen you. He is making you strong enough to carry the weight of eternal life." Its stright gold, change your perspective. Have confidence that the Lord loves you through weaknesses. They are there for a reason, to strengthen you!!! JESUS TE AMA!

Gracias por todo, con amor Elder Ludvigson
