e9ca8332-4e68-4249-bffe-51a1b707b75e Elder Reece Back to Missionary Letters E aí meus amigos, como vocês estão? What's going on guys, how's life been? I hope that it has been filled with a lot of fun. This week was good but let's get to it. Just a bit short this week. We played a ton of soccer on pday. We played a game between Americans and Brazilians and the Americans of course won. But it was really fun. We had a baptism during the week and also 2 more on Sunday. They have members in their families that have also been baptized recently. So that also helped a lot to set an example. We worked hard this week, and some of the dates that we marked heard some bad things about the church and don't want us anymore. And that is really sad because they are some good people. We also watched the Tabernacle choir that sang in Brazil. And it was a really cool experience. The spirit was really strong and they sang in English, Spanish and Portuguese. It was really cool that they invited some of the youth that sing the youth songs. And another singer that is really famous in Brazil. But they were in São Paulo so we just watched it from a video. But it was really cool. And we also found a cool rainbow after the rain during the sunset. ST: In 2016 Elder Russell M. Nelson in a talk said that our goal as missionaries “is not to increase the number of Church members. Rather, our missionaries teach and baptize to bring joy to the people of the world” Jesus Christ is the joy of the world. To find joy, find Him. That was the week, hit me up too, I love hearing from you guys, have a great week and Love you guys. Elder Leavitt Previous Letter Next Letter

0a78faf3-9aa2-4fe9-932e-dcf4830beea1 Elder Decker Lee Back to Missionary Letters (Googlephotos) https://photos.app.goo.gl/7mJigZzeRBWigU9h9 Whats up eveyone up all ofnyou guys are doing awesome thos week was a good one, lets get into it!!⬇️ Spiritual thought- Spiritual thought this week is on receiving promotings. This week i had a few experiences of having a prompting and listening to it, and the interactions turned out awesome. And all though most of these incounters will probably not meet with the missionarys again and or not answer our calls to return. I do know that for some reason, some why heavenly father wanted me to follow that promting. Sometimes i wonder out here why we receive promtings to do something or talk with sombody when nothing comes out of it. But there is one thing i do know. And that is its not our timing but out heavenly fathers. Ive had Countless interactions with people when we talk to them say they rember the missionaries from the simple stuff the simple kind acts "holding doors" "sharing there testimony" and "smiling at them" and of course the gringos in a white shirt and tie in the summer😭 but although these small things may at moments seem insignificant over time these small things become GIANT things in peoples lives. I want to invite you guys to listen to promptings your receive, no matter how insignificant they seem, Because for some reason some why, that promting your receiving WILL have an effect!! And this affect could change not only a persons life but also your own! Food of the week "yopos chicken" baiscally a raisen kaynes chicken, but the drinks were so expensive, 6 soles a bottle...(2$) P day was chill we went to this New chicken place close by and it was so good. Closest thing to like real fried chicken ive had in a minute, and the restaurant had english music playing to so that was a plus. And after we went back to the chapel and made some brownies that some how turned out ok for just eye bawling ingredients and not using any measurements😂 #thankstocheifnoone Today I had intercambios with Elder gram. Super good time. We set some high goals for the day and worked really hard but also had some fun to. And theres this little "phenomenon" called the Nino, that is like a giant rainstorm i guess. So it basically rained like all day here which was soooo nice. Also We had a cool little experiance to, we were up in the more poor spot of the zone and we had an impression to knock a certain house. So we did and im glad we did. Turn out the little boy that lives there had just found out he has got cancer. Hes about 6-8 years old. So we shared a little message and offered a prayer for the family and for him. We hope we can try to get over there and share some messages with them and maybe offer a blessing for the boy. Keep this family in your prayers please! We also had english class tonight!!!! It was pretty fun, me and my MTC comp Elder langford somehow ended up in the same zone so we taught it together which was pretty fun. And of course had to hit the post english class Oxxo run for a Inca cola and some Empanadas!! Today the hermanas in our word called and said there was a lady in the ward who needed a blessing, so we showed up to the families house and it was so hectic in there geez. And when we asked who was receiving the blessing she pointed to her and then to the rest of her fam. So we ended up giving 6 blessings. Which is fine but we totally missed a lesson cause we thought we only had one😭 Today we had 2 lessons planed with a few references we had received and they went like so good. One of the guys was just one of the elected and is just ready to be taught and wants to keep learning. We had a member participate in the lesson to and man, member lessons with investigators is sooo nice and so helpfull. So reach out to the missionaries in your ward and see if they would like ya to acompany them in a lesson!! Celindas baptized- So we were supposed to have her baptism on thursday but bad communication on the members side led to no bishopric members able to make it to the baptism soo we changed it to sunday🥲😂!! But today went awesome the baptism went very smooth #firsttimeisacharm. But we did have to change the time 3 times because the bishopric kept on selling the bag. But they made up for it by making sure we had a bunch of members there to support Celinda and her awesome day!! This week was pretty good. Always a good week when you have a friend get baptized!!! Spanish is coming along good, little by little but for the most part i can say what i need to but the harder part is understanding it all. Also they just announced in my mission we can go to the temple every transfer so thats pretty cool to and we can go with out whole district to! But yea its going good here in peru. Hope all is going good back at home, love and miss ya all!! Send me a email, love to hear from ya!! Previous Letter Next Letter

e590de14-6b0e-48a7-9585-1ba9d05b0e1d Elder Connor Zarate Back to Missionary Letters Highlights I have a New companion! His name is Elder Mortley. He is from Sydney Australia and is brand new. I was able to travel all the up to Edinburgh Scottland to pick him up then come all the Back down as far away as you can get in this mission. Taking several trains, busses, faries and trams hitting 3 different countries. It was soo cool but we where both ready to be home by the end of it. I found out Our high councilman brother Murphy is golf buddies with Elder Bednar! I got to see a missionary that I served with. Elder Belko and my other I baptized when I was serving in cork. Turns out our church has a chair lift up and down the stairs in the fire escape. And it actually works! (We checked) David and Michael want to be baptized! Pray for them. Spritual thought. This week I have been thinking about spiritual growth and how without haveing a goal in mind we are much less likely work hard and accomplish hard things. I believe this is the same for everything weather it be for sports or school or whatever having a Goal will help you work harder and improve faster. We see this often with the friends we teach. As we give them invitations and Goals to work towards, that focus helps them change or to start something new, and when they follow through and keep the commitments they do grow. And change. And at a much faster rate then our friends who dont have specific Goals they are working towards. Sister Roy came to Tralee this week and in her testimony she shared one of my all time favorite quotes from an apostle "there is no comfort in a growth zone, but there is also no growth in a comfort zone." So I invite you all to set a spiritual goal for this month. Something that will require you to leave your comfort zone. And then to really stay on it. And I know that you will be able to Pictures https://photos.app.goo.gl/tGCNLwWcsXsYxgai6 Previous Letter Next Letter

0b3cc894-1ab4-4c55-bed1-30a200eb870c Elder Anson Hollingshead Back to Missionary Letters 1 Anson ??? Hola everyone and thats about all the Spanish I know and sorry I haven't written in a while, it was because I didn't want but Im sure some of you are dying to hear from me. These past 3 weeks have been awesome, we baptized a family well part of a family. The Cornejos and they are so awesome. The oldest son received the priesthood this week and now is going to baptize his sister on Sunday, super awesome. Also we found an amazing lady named Genesis and she came to church before we even taught her a lesson. She said to us that she wants to come back to church indefinitely, so she's definitely going to get baptized with the help of the Lord. We are so blessed here in Elvira. We couldn't do it alone. Anyways hope you all are doing good and also if you're not going to church just go to church. It changes people's lives forever and it can change anyone because it is the true church of Jesus Christ.

ee262d4e-45be-41e8-b5c4-505baebc444e Elder Brandon Perkins Back to Missionary Letters Staying in ZIONSVILLE 🤙 G'day, G'day everyone. As you can read from the email title I'm staying in Townsville! I will be training a new missionary so I don't know who my companion will be until Friday when they come in. I'm excited and nervous for this new challenge ahead of me. This past week was really good. Yoooo join my photos 📸 https://photos.app.goo.gl/r9bVRUjSG8u6uZof6 Highlights - hit up some op shops, (thrift shops) for district p-day - Last DCM of the transfer - Mowed a 6"0 tall Lawn ☠️ - Visited jill like 4 times and got bundabergs 😂 - Hungry Jacks w Brother Kutu - Lesson with our Fijian friends George and ilimo 🇫🇯 - Had a lesson w Chris - Dinner w the Luis - Interviews - got lots of bevs 🥤 - Sushi back to back days - visited merv 🥰 Our friends are doing good! We miracoulsly found two Fijian Book of Mormons in our flat to give to George and ilimo. Ronan is our friend who has the hat and the rugby jersey. He is the man. I feel like we're genuinely close friends, which will make it easier if he ever wants to be taught. We ran a branch sports night Friday night, and it went pretty well. We had like 4 friends show up and we had pickleball, volleyball and basketball. The only problem is we have a mission rule that we can't play sports with members or friends so it was super awkward just standing there. Spiritual Thought: This past week I relistened to "Peacemakers needed" given by President Nelson. This talk is one of my absolute favorites and everytime I listen to it, I learn something new. This time around this quote stood out to me "The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire—no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers". I love this principle because not only can I apply this to companions but members and friends as well. It sounds simple, but as we apply these simple truths in our lives, we will be examples of our savior Jesus Christ. I love you all, send me heaps of emails 🥰. Previous Letter Next Letter

3a0ce555-c250-4ffe-a8af-15dac0da5647 Sister Dantzel Back to Missionary Letters Se Llama Chanchito? Buenos días a todos!! Estoy muy triste por decir que este es mi último correo :( Hey everyone, good morning! I am super sad to say that this is my last email I will be sending. I have learned so much during this time and have so many spiritual experiences to share. I really hope we can share that moment at my homecoming this Sunday at 9am :) Lets jump into my last week as a missionary! Bulletpoints ♡ I have divis 2 times this week with las poderes hermanas of Parachico and Bolognesi ♡ I ate WAY too much every day this week… ♡ I enjoyed my last days with Hermana Asley. ♡ We had meeting after meeting including with the stake president ♡ We went bowling on monday! I didn't lose so I call it a win <3 ♡ I was able to declare my purpose every single day and I see that as a blessing. ♡ We had 16 lessons with members!! For the missionaries out there… Yes, it is possible! ♡ We responded to some interesting questions and doubts.. Sometimes we just have to obey without seeing what lies behind us! ♡ Hermana Asley bought me a cute little sunflower and I love it <3 ♡ We found a really fat dog in the street and Hermana Ynayan called it chanchito hahaha!! Its name is Toby :) ♡ I tried listening to the door to see if someone was home… no one answered:( ♡ Today my district surprised me and took me to “lunch” at 10am haha!! They are so sweet I am going to miss them. ♡ So I'll update you on what's going to happen these next few days because this is the last email. Today at 12pm I leave for Arequipa. Tomorrow I will have an interview with the President then head to the Airport. ♡ I will be taking a lot of transportación on the way home. First, an 8 hour bus ride to Arequipa. A few taxis before I get to the airport. Then a few planes (Arequipa to Lima, to Atlanta, to Saltlake, to St. George). Then my family and I will be going to the temple and going home <3 Spiritual thought For my last thought I want to share about relationships. I never would have thought that I could comunícate let alone become close friends with someone so different from me. I comunícate with people everyday who are from a different culture and feel so blessed to have come so far. My mind has been opened and so have my eyes. I have been given a gift from God to be in this beautiful country even if it's just for a little while. I created real friendships! People who I will never forget, that changed my life. So many people think that we serve missions to change the lives of other people but I think I am going to leave more changed than any of them. But really I've had the best mission in the world and know that I served exactly where I needed to! I've been impacted by so many small things that have taught me how to live, grow, and appreciate change. I have struggled and loved every change that has been thrown my way. Todo es posible con el Señor! No tengo más palabras para describir todo lo que siento. Estoy emocionada, triste, sorprendida, tocada del Espíritu y el evangelio de Jesucristo en mi vida personal. Usted también puede tener este cambio. Puede encontrar a Jesucristo, y si se puede durante sus momentos más difíciles. Jesucristo pagó el precio. Jesucristo rompió las ligaduras de la muerte, gracias a Él todo es posible. I want to leave you with my last promise as a representative of Jesus Christ. I promise that if you choose to enter and walk in the path Christ has shown us, and endure to the end you will have a change of heart, mind, and a complete change in your life for the better. I didn't see my progress during the journey but looking back through the hardest times I turned to my savior and found peace, love, comfort, calm, and so much more. You can find this too but only if you keep walking. Your eyes are closed but we have to trust the Savior's hand that is reaching out to YOU! I love each of you more than you know! My loyal readers of a true weekly email! Thanks for joining me on my increíble journey temporal and spiritual. See you soon!! <3 Hermana Park Previous Letter Next Letter

0d557936-52b4-42c3-9b4d-0d9e2ba3af52 Sister Dantzel Park Back to Missionary Letters #NinjaTurttlesEnTacna Wow!! Another week comes and goes… this week was so full. I can't believe we are in the last week of January!! But as always I have some fun things to tell so let's go! Bulletpoints ▪︎ Another zone conference <3 I learned so much from President Elliott and all the amazing missionaries here in la misión Perú Arequipa!! ▪︎ I gifted a hair clip to hermana Asley (nuestro misionero del barrio). She loved it and wore it the next day! It made my heart so happy <3 ▪︎ Divis con hermana Bautista de Iquitos la selva! (She is from Iquitos in the jungle). I taught her how to make no bake cookies and it was so good!! ▪︎ In our relief society class or teacher told us she counted the people sleeping in sacrament meeting and there were 15!! Haha ▪︎ We invited two of our friends to be baptised this week :) It's so powerful to see the desire of our friends to follow the example of Jesus Christ. ▪︎ We had a miracle Saturday night. We decided to go try and visit a less active family. And we ran into an inactive member from another ward! She told us that we were her ángeles and that she would go to church instead of work on Sunday. There were tears and hugs but I know that the spirit lead us to her so she could renew her covenants <3 ▪︎ Divis con hermana Olortegui from Bolivia!! She is so cute and has an amazing voice :) I learned the importance of having an open mind to talk to everybody. ▪︎ Asley blessed me by breaking my 50 soles into 5's and 2's <3 This is a true blessing now I can take buses way easier :) ▪︎ Carlos who sings!!! He sang us a beautiful song and then sent us 42 tik tok videos… He is just a little weird and off key… ▪︎ Someone rejected a baptism date because he thought that we didn't believe in God? I was super confused… Spiritual thought Ok analogy time! So I always have my backpack, and water because it is summertime! I realized on Sunday after the sacrament meeting that my water bottle was slightly open… because the bottom of my backpack was all wet! I, like anyone else, immediately took everything out of my bag and drank the rest of my water that was in my bottle. I didn't want it to leak anymore! I pulled out my books and papers that were all slightly wet but not completely ruined. It was all ok because it leaked a little less than half of my water bottle that spilled. It could have been worse! Ok, now the question, how does this apply? Why is Hermana Park obsessed with her water spilling in her bag? It's because it reminded me of how we can feel when we sin. It was my fault my water spilled in my bag because my bottle was not completely straight up. I got a little lazy and I had consequences for it! I wouldn't have noticed that the water was spilling if I wouldn't have taken off my bag looking for something. Just like a small decision I made in the morning, not double checking my water bottle, sometimes we make small simple mistakes. Today I am going to compare it to lying. Maybe you say a little white lie and it slowly keeps leaking. You don't even notice because it is something so small! You could go days or even weeks without feeling an impact of what you said. Until you take off your bag to check something and find it all wet! Something that seemed so small weeks ago has made a bigger impact than you realized! The things in your bag are all wet and not the same as they were before. Papers are easily torn and writing is impossible to read because it has been washed away. Something small that we say can have big consequences!! But you can take out your bottle and drink ALL the water. Take responsibility for something you did before and make it right. That doesn't mean your bag will dry instantly; you will have to wait for a bit so things can dry out. But, if you leave things as they are it will only get worse. I invite you to look at the small things in your life! And to be more responsible than I was and put your water bottle in your bag right the first time. And if it was out of order the day before, fix it now so you won't have worse consequences! I love you guys. I hope you have a great week :) <3 Hermana Park Previous Letter Next Letter

3a5e60db-fe81-4ffd-a762-03e49a41c703 Elder Anson Hollingshed Back to Missionary Letters 1 Anson 3:8 ¡Hola todos y Landon! This is going to be a short email because nothing crazy happening besides transfers next week. Which Im most likely staying here in Elvira because Pres said so. Also my comp is going home so it only makes sense I stay here. Which Im fine with because I am really loving the members here. The missionary work is starting to pick up momentum. We got 11 people to church kind of. Kind of because they were 30 minutes late for church. Also another reason I love the members is they invited a non member family that we taught a couple of weeks ago but they didn't progress to come to church which they came! But also 30 minutes late☹️. But we can work with that. A verse I really loved this week from the BoM was Alma 61:14. 14 Therefore, my beloved brother, Moroni, let us resist evil, and whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words, yea, such as rebellions and dissensions, let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church, and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God. I don't really remember why I loved this verse. Maybe because Capt Moroni is so awesome but what's really awesome was the reason he fought so hard for the people was so they could live the gospel freely and continue to worship our God and Jesus Christ in peace. Thats pretty much all I got and I'll know who my new comp is next week and if Im staying here by next week so see you all then. https://photos.app.goo.gl/U1p9YbdbpLdbz1819 Elder Anson J Hollingshead Ecuador Guayaquil North Mission Send me a letter at Elder Anson J Hollingshead Ecuador Guayaquil North Mission Av Rodolfo Baqerizo y Demetrio Aguilera Cdla la Alborada Etapa 7 Manzana 747 Solar 01 ---Guayaquil Ecuador Send me a package Elder Anson J Hollingshead Ecuador Guayaquil North Mission Zona Alborada, Av Rodolfo Baquero Nazur 90-323 y Calle Demetrio Aguilera 090150---Guayaquil Ecuador Previous Letter Next Letter

a1172fce-f753-4b97-b82e-2cf1cd77696d Elder Cameron Wright Back to Missionary Letters Slapped by the Spirit allywright2020@gmail.com ;kelbyandalysonhughes@icloud.com ;amykaidavis12@yahoo.com ;+124 others Good week this week! Nothing too crazy happened. Not that I can remember right away at least. We just had good days. I went up to Raymondville this week for an exchange and it was pretty fun. Raymondville is an interesting place. It is nice to go there every so often, but I don't know how I would do if that was my area haha. I had a good day with Elder Lewis though and we just worked and then picked up some Subway at the end of the night. I had to teach an english class so that was fun. I am not really used to doing classes and service stuff like that so it was fun to do once. I had the most gas member meal ever this week. It was like our only one, our ward ain't feeding us too much. I am chilling though. My body can afford to eat itself and starve a bit! We had some amazing fajitas at the nicest house I have ever seen down here. It is just a ton of acres and a little drive through their gate to get to their house. It is so awesome and peaceful. Super cool people. They are just old white bougie country people. That was mostly the week. I am just kind of enduring the area bit. I am about ready to get out of here. I will miss for sure, but just same plaes and starting to have people come up to me and say "Hey you guys were the ones that invited me to church" gIt happens, but right now it is happening a lot more. People know me and that is how you know you have been there a sec haha. Church went good. It was stake conference and we had 2 friends there. I sat by the one that we found earlier in the week and never met back up with until church. We didn't quite cover the Word of Wisdom so he liked to talk and he was a loud talker so it annoyed people, but he eventually kept quiet and it wasn't too horrible. God Bless Tomas. Elder Hans T. Boom spoke at it though and had a really good talk. Hopefully our friends got slapped by the spirit and want to keep meeting. Especially Tomas because I don't think a still small voice would worked in his state haha. Spiritual Thought: It has been a super awesome week for a missionary out here because he finished The Book of Mormon all the way through his first time! It has been a party to say the least. That might be dramatic, but man he worked hard for it and finished it. It made me just ponder on when I read it and the first time I read it and all I thought about was how my testimony has changed. The thought of repitition came to my mind again because truly after my first time reading, I remembered some of the stories. There is some ligit stories in there. As I have read it, I have remembered more stories and where they are at, but I have learned more about Jesus. How the Book of Mormon is a witness of Him and His gospel. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and I have come to known that through reading it and most importantly praying. When I read it, it can be words on a page, but when you pray before you read it with the intent to grow, man some amazing things happen. I invite yall to pray and read it because that is the strongest conversion tool in the gospel. Peace🤘 Here's the photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/AJPDFZiAPHs2sDfeA Previous Letter Next Letter

980f9d83-ca25-42c4-a887-de751f52a624 Elder James Park Back to Missionary Letters Patience with prayer Good morning, another week in the books!! I cannot explain how fast the weeks have flown by here in Chile. Life in Chile still isn’t perfect but I know that for me, I am in the perfect place at the perfect time. This week some of my highlights included: It's a new year!! Happy 2026 🥳🤩! I'll be in Chile for this one 🫡🇨🇱 We went to the mountain to find new people to teach and a mapucha woman stopped us and prayed and invoked her blessings upon us.. 🤗 more blessings!! Also on the mountain there were so many dangerous dogs again so I decided to try out my electric dog whistle. 🐕🐕💨🔦🧍♂️- Thanks mom, I don't know how but It worked! 😁👍 I was able to attend sacrament meeting with my new ward! I was also able to present myself and share my testimony! 🕍 My companion and I had the opportunity to give many house blessings this week. 3 in 1 day 😄🫡 We visited the foot massage guy again so we got massages and he cooked us chicken and rice for lunch. 👣🙂.. 🍗🍚 This casa is the first with shower brain freezes :) 🧊🧠.. 🤯 My companion loves pasta and chicken patties, so that's what we eat for dinner 🍝🧆 Oo my companion also loves making Brownies and giving them to everyone.. He’s still learning how to cook and make things without important ingredients 😅. Poor neighbors 🫣😬 Today I'm going to get a haircut, my companion said he knows a guy who cuts hair for super cheap. I really don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing 🤔 🤦 This week for my spiritual thought I wanted to share a quote from President Holland's October 2020 General Conference talk which says, “There will be times in our lives when even our best spiritual effort and earnest, pleading prayers do not yield the victories for which we have yearned… So while we work and wait together for the answers to some of our prayers, I offer you my apostolic promise that they are heard and they are answered, though perhaps not at the time or in the way we wanted. But they are always answered at the time and in the way an omniscient and eternally compassionate parent should answer them.” Our Heavenly Father hears us when we say, “When will these burdens be lifted” The answer is by and by, sooner or later. Whether that be a short time or a long one most times we do not know. But by the Grace of God, blessings will come to those who hold faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ. This we know as fact. For that matter was settled in a private garden and on a public hill in the city of Jerusalem many years ago. If you are searching for answers from God that still seem unanswered, I would invite you to have patience. Step back and look at life in an eternal view. Remember that God is good. “For he is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world.” -1Nephi 10:18 Love you all, -Elder Park 🇨🇱.. 🇪🇸+🇺🇸 Good morning, another week in the books!!

7ea08b90-d3fe-40ed-b9cf-f9307d55f823 Elder Braydon Taylor Back to Missionary Letters Hey whats good everyone in hope you all had a good new years and christmas. Sorry I havnt sent out an email for a fat second just got preocupied a little. Ill just give a baisic summary of what been goin on here in Macará. Christmas- showed my comp what a tim tam slam was and he loved it, and a baptisim fell through so that was fun. Inbetween- we got some more people on track for bappys and we got our dawgs hermana dominca baptized and hermana rocío we love her but shes a little loopy. New years- okay the guys dress up in drag anf dance and get paid for it... a little wierd i know but also very funny. Also they get like dolls and light them on fire in the middle of Town... then at night they got all naitive and i saw dude in like face paint and very naitive music playing. After new years- had ANOTHER bapy our dude byron got baptized and it was absolutly awsome. And we put on another fetcha for our guy Adrian. Unspiritual thoughts: Christmas is better cold, especially when youre in 90 degree heat. They dont cook the meat in ceviche de carne... might be getting sick soon but it did taste very good. The APs came down here and helped us realize we are here to BAPTIZE, especially in south america the people are just ready for it. The catholic church is the great and abominable church... just is. When the spanyards came down here they got everyone and told them they could die or become catholic, thats why everyone and their dog here is catholic, then also under EVERY cathilic church in south america there are people they killed under there... genuinly the catholics love to tell us thats how the church gets its power.... how lovely Ecuadorian lasagna is better then italian.... let that sink in. A guy we were teaching totaly just killed a guy yesterday... so ya fue Spirtual thought: Yesterday church eas super cool it was testamony meeting cause it was fast sunday, and when we started out here the second sunday was fast sunday and litterly just us 4 and Darwin and his wife shared and that was it. But yesterday we had like 8 testamonys and EVERYONE was shareing. It was so cool to physically see the progress Macará has made and how ive been able to help with that makes me feel good.
