This week we had a special training about the 3 key things that a missionary needs to know. 1. What the investigator needs to feel. 2. What we need to feel as missionaries. 3. And what the members need to feel. But we learned more about it in a really cool way. It was like a "search your feelings" kind of thing. Also we learned the importance of using visual references to teach (Because sometimes the indigenous people don't understand Spanish), and how to testify with power. I love how I continuously learn new things in the mission even though I have time here.</div>

This week we have been working in the boonies of our sector. There's a place called San Roque that has a lot of potencial, the only thing is that we have to travel 30 minutes in bus to get there and get back. So we only go there every once and a while but maybe my son will go there more often when I'm gone. We are still rescuing the Campos family. They attended church this week again! They've been inactive for so long and now that they're coming, the members are working more with us. In fact, we had a really good week as far as less-actives go.</div>

We aslo had the zone council where we talk about our achievement and goals of the month that passed, and the next month. We also had like a mini testimony meeting a zone about the miracles that we've seen this month. Super cool... President Richardson gave me permision to go to Ibarra today. So now I know the whole mission! Yeah! But it was great though. We went with an 18-year-old member that is getting his papers ready.</div>

Well, this will probably be my last letter... If you what to know what happened the last week of my mission, just ask me haha. Voy a empezar de escribir en Español porque no quiero olvidar este idioma tan bello jaja. Estoy sin palabras ahora y tengo sentimientos mezcladas, pero voy a extrañar este país y las personas que he conocido aquí. Sé que los veré en la vida venidera. Pero hasta ese entonces, quiero verles a todos ustedes muchísimo. Jaja. ¡Pero no estoy trunky! Hasta ver.</div>

The only bad thing about them is that they love my companion and I so much, that all they what to do is make me trunky by saying things about the states. It's a fight! But they're seriously willing to help us out in any way that they can. They buy us food, go with us on appointments, pay for taxis to take us somewhere. They're already starting to invite us to have "family home evenings" for next week. I can't bare it haha.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week we had a lot of success with several different investigators and less-actives. We gave a couple tours of the chappel (And while we did it we found a spider the size of the palm of my hand in the baptismal font hahaha, oh Ecuador...) They turned out pretty well. Plus a lot of people that we could never get to church are starting to come now. We're still working on the attendnce though. But the good news is that it's making us better at finding the "iceburgs" in peoples lives and also helping us help them to find solutions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In ward council we planned an activity that's called "Viaje a Mexico" I think that the activity "Trip to Hawaii" has been over-used so we're going to Mexico! We're going to have it on the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1635371448" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8th of August</span></span> so I know that the members are going to do something for me. It's a fight!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What else happened... Today we went as a district to Cuicocha (Volcanic crater lake with and island in the middle) and it was sweet. We were really creative with the pictures too. I saw my step-son Elder Risco for the first time in 6 months. He's still the same haha. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1635371449" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Monday</span></span> night, a member called a taxi to take us home but got impatient and called a 2nd one. They both arrived at the same time and the 2nd one was pretty mad haha... And as a service, I helped a family trap their chicken on the loose. I've never caught a chicken before. I probably looked like a child doing that haha but I do not care. Service is service!</div>

We taught 10 lessons to less-actives and got a inactive family (Flia. Campos) to go after over 12 years of not going even once! We were super happy! They also came to the activity we had on Thursday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> and we have another appointment with them tomorrow</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">. I'll let you know how things go.</span><br />

This week was filled with divisions. First the other sector in Rumiñahui (The district leader) did splits with us <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_760033263" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span>. Then the ZLs did surprize divisions with us <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_760033264" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span>. It was great though because I learned a lot from both divisions. Especially <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_760033265" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span> with the divisions with the ZLs when I was with Elder Gallardo from Argentina. He was an awesome teacher and the lessons we had were completly guided by the spirit. We also had the mini zone conference and learned a lot about the Atonement. The training was mostly videos and they were all great.</div>

At first not many people came but then the chappel just filled. I don't know why everyone in South America has to always show up late haha. Seriously, sacrament meeting starts at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_760033267" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:00am</span></span>, and right and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_760033268" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:00am</span></span> there's like 20 people in the church.

And after the sacrament, there's around 130 people that come in haha.</div>

My socks all have holes in them now haha. I have to wear two pairs almost everyday and turn one pair almost backwards so that the holes don't line up. I'm planning on burning them soon haha. Today we had my last zone activity and we played soccer, volleyball, and basketball as a zone. Plus we bought 8 giant boxes of pizza haha...So that was cool. And other than that, my package came! I was starting to lose faith. I already downed the beef jerky.</div>

No estoy seguro si es que debo decir a mi compañero esta frase, "A mí me falta menos días, que a ti meses"... Porque la tentación está presente, es verdad, y quiero decirlo muchísimo jajaja. ¡Pero créanme que no estoy trunky!</div>

And how we shoud use every "member present" in the Book. Now we walk everywhere with the Book of Mormon in our hand. I feel more the power of it as I testify of it's divinity to whatever person when I have it in my hand rather than in my bag. It's really has proved to be "sharper that a 2-egded sword." WE've had some pretty cool experiences.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I don't know why but every week for the last couple of weeks, we've had 1 crazy day, just 1, where we have like 8 lessons. Which I love. This week it was <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_670340916" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span>. That day we found a new family too (The Andrade family). We're now working with them and have another appointment with them today. We've also contacted a lot of referals and have found new investigators like that. Freddy Santana and Jorge Cortéz are a few. Jorge Cortéz is a divored man from Guayaquil that know more about the bible that any other man that I've ever taught. I was literally quoting scriptures that we commonly use haha. He had a hard time with Joseph Smith at first but then with the power of testimony and inspired questions, we won him over! Thanks Spirit!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we had a ward activity that we set up. I was the Tree of Life activity where you blindfold them and make them try to get to a certain part of the chappel by listening to the Spirit (I was the Spirit haha) or worldly voices. Then we had a few videos and games at the end. I went well, but it wasn't announced the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_670340917" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> before so now many people showed up. We're going to have another activity this week. This week we also helped the 1st counselor move to the other isde of our sector. And the young bishop move to the other side of his house haha. Service!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
What else happened... The pope came to Ecuador and we here from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_670340918" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> to <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_670340919" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span> I think so the work was a little different. The people that we taught that were not Catholic were actully more willing to here us haha so that was cool. But the people that were Catholic were just watching tv the whole 3 days. So it was double-sided. Here in Otavalo there are many people from many different religions. Sometimes it's like a mini "bible-belt". The cool thing is that there are many members of the church here too even though it's a small town (I think it's about the size of Cedar City... Maybe). Another name for it is Utavalo.</div>

I gotta start with what happened <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2015281530" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> night becuase of the changes. So since Elder Bell was coming from the jungle (Like 10 hours away from Otavalo), Elder Herrera was with us all day long. We were expecting him to arrive around like8:30pm but he never came. We called the ZLs and they told us that he had to take a detour because of construction. He seriously took a tour through the other mission. They also told us that he'd arrive "with luck" around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2015281531" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10:00pm</span></span>. So he never showed up that day. We stayed us until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2015281532" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">12:30pm</span></span> waiting for his call like we were told to do, until we finally decided tocall the ZLs again, wake them up, and ask where Elder Bell was. They didn't know. We seriously thought he was sleeping on his luggage outside haha. So Elder Herrera selpt on the floor in our house and studied with us in the morning. We call the ZLs one more time and ask where Elder Bell was and they said, "Oh, I think he should probably be in the bus terminal by now". So we left and found him there. I though he'd be dead haha. He told us that he arrived in Quito around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2015281533" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">9:00pm</span></span> and that they slept in the secretaries house... The secretaries have a phone and they never called us... Who do I kill? Haha</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This week was covenant week. The ZLs gave us a training on making and keeping covenants with the Lord in missionary work. It was a really spiritual experience and it made us realized the importance of his guidance in missionary work. It's essencial! So we kneeled and Thursday </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">night after the training and set goals. And this week was great because of it! Especially Sunday. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">we had a lesson with member present every single hour of the day after church. Everything just worked out. We're going to continue applying it for the rest of the month of July.</span><br />

Like I said this week has been really successful with investigators. As far as lessons to investigators, It's been my companion and I's best week together. The cool this is that many come from our own efforts, and many come from referals too. So we'll be hoping to bring some to the baptismal font before the transfer ends.<br /><div>
<br /></div>

In other news... I almost gave a goat a heart attack when I threw a banana peel at it from above haha. The pope arrived in Quito <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2015281537" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> and will be here for a couple of days so maybe missionary work will be a little different. And I think you already know but I met the Sorensen family <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2015281538" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> when they arrived at our ward haha. So that was crazy. I'm sure it's the first time I've met anyone from Cedar City during my whole mission. I guess they'll be in the states again on the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2015281539" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">20th of August</span></span> again, I think. So I'll beat them to the land of the free haha.</div>

We got the changes and I'm staying! It'll be fun finishing my companion's training for my last change. He's learned a ton and we get along well. By the way I'm a potential prophet because I predicted the transfers in the district with exactness (Just kidding, but really I did). The new DL that'll be coming is Elder Bell. He was "born" when I was his ZL in Quito West (San Carlos) and I haveb't seen his since then (like 9 months) so it'll be good to see him. Right now I'm in a trio with his Colombian companion waiting for his becuase he gets here around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1411488311" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:00pm</span></span> from Coca (Whoo hoo! Jungle!)<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we traveled to Quito for Elder Arrieta's verification with the rest of the missionaries from his group. I got to sleep in San Carlos again so that was cool being there for the first time since October. I saw Elder Guild too. He was asking me what we could do during to layover between Miami and Dallas hahaha. I'm not trunky, he is. We found some really solid new investigators this week. All of them have their fellowshippers and should be progressing soon. I feel really comfortable with the sector and I hope to baptize with Elder Arrieta this change. We definatly have the potential.<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The weather has drastically changed from last week to this week. The sun is pounding us and the winds are insane. I've seen so many dust devils and been attacked by a couple. The members are saying that it¡ll be windy like that until August. By the way! Check out the July Liahona. The talk about the pioneers talks about Otavalo. Kind of cool. At least for me since I'm here.<br /></div>

I've been thinking for like 10 minutes where I should start... <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_619091068" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Wednesday</span></span> we had a 7 hour zone conference with the other zone in Otavalo too. It was my son's first big zone conference so he loved seeing over 30 missionaries at a time haha. It was great though. We learned a lot of good things. President talked a lot about using family history to find new investigators and the assistants taught us an effective way to recieve referals from members.</div>

The week was really weird as far as lessons go. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_619091069" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Tuesday</span></span> we had an awesome day filled with great lessons every hour.<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_619091070" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_619091071" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span> we just had a ton of fallen appointments but a lot of street contacts. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_619091072" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> a ton of forigners contacted us. Like 8 in total. I've never spoke so much English in my mission to someone that's not a member or missionary. One was from Austria and I got to re-practice my German... I've forgotten a ton hahaha. It's crazy how many different cultures you can find in this small indigenous city though.</div>

Hmm. What else... I got sunburnt from the zone activity we had last Monday. After the activity I got a haircut and by my ears I'm super white so I looked like a fool haha. The wind has been randomly crazy here too. Especially <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_619091073" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span>.

No sé que mas a pasado esta semana jaja... Pero amo la misión. Sé que el señor sabe hacer las cosas y sigo aprendiendo cosas nuevas diariamente. Aveces veo mucha oposición aquí en la misión pero sólo me da un testimonio mas completo de esta gran obra. Nunca caeré. ¡Gracias a todos, les quiero mucho!</div>

But right now Silvio and Jessica Torres still have a date but now for the </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2088187797" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">4th of July</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> (´Merica!) because this weekend they went to Intag (A town that's super far away) to see his mom of the first time in months. Other than that, we're working with a ton of new investigators and other investigators that have had baptism dates before. Like the Moreno-Blanco family. They were the new family of 8 that we found this week. I seriously haven't found so many new investigators in one week for a long time. Other than them we found many more. So this next week we'll try to keep up the pase.</span><br />

On Tuesday we had divisions with our district leader. Elder Arrieta (My only begotten) was with the DL Elder Quiroz, and I was with his companion, Elder Andonaire, In my sector. They we fun divisions but the only terrible thing is that they were 24 hour divisions and Elder Andonaire snores like none other... I was about to shove one of my dirty socks down his throat but his snoring sounded like a bear so I decided not to. But that was the day when we found the new family so it was worth it.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
On sunday night we witnessed an assult. We were contacting a guy that works at a small store with a return missionary in the ward around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2088187800" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:45pm</span></span>. In the street corner about 30ft away we see this girl screeming and a guy near her behind a parked car. We though they were just playing for a second but then we saw him beating her in the head with something. We almost ran over to help but then we saw that she was being beat with a pistol so we didn't. The car drove away and we ran over to the girl that was bleeding and crying. Felipe (the return missionary) calls the police and we're trying to calm down the girl. Then other neighbors come out. Another member that was just a block away saw the license plate so we got them... Crazy though.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
To change the mood (haha), <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2088187801" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span> night we had the most successful activity that I've ever seen in all my mission. We had a "talent show". In between every talent, us 4 missionaries had a mini 1 minute skit. I've never made so many people laugh before. I can talk more about it later but I have a ton of pictures thanks to a member and I'm going to try to get the videos from Elder Herrera. Around 250 people showed up! We have a ton of new people to contact.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Today we had a zone activity. We played vollyball and basketball for like 3 hours in the stake center as a zone. I'm terrible at volleyball but I love it. Over all it's been a really calm P-day... We played a lot of 21 as well. The rim was bent a little bit on the left side so I could dunk it haha.</div>

Life is too easy haha. It was a really good one though. They transfered Presidnet Richardson's training on Reaching our true potencial. We had a contest where we all had to jump as high as we could without taking a ste First in silence, and then again with people cheering us on. Our results when people cheered for us were like 6 inches higher, it was sweet. We watched a clip of "Facing the Giants" where they do the "death crawl" too and we noticed that when someone is encouraging us, we simpily do better. It was a really spiritual and really irreverent training haha, we all loved it.This week I also got to go to the leadership meeting again because my district leader, Elder Quiroz, decided to do divisions with us that day. The ZLs trained on a special training from the mission council given by one of my old friends from the Orient, Elder Wright! They trained on the importance of teaching like boats (because boats can travel on a more amplifyed plain) and not like trains (That are such bad teachers that they can only follow the same lesson plan every time). And how we can patch up "the boat" of any missionary by verifying their teaching skills.</span><br />

We're still working with Silvio Torres and some other investigators that are progressing a little slowly. If all goes well though, I could have 2 baptisms with my son in his first change even though we're opening the sector. So we're hoping that we can pull it off. It's hard to find new investigators here in this sector but the members are supporting us a ton. This week will be a good one. The members realy like us too. The 2nd counselor (Gonzalo Riveros) invited us to his house to make empanadas chilenas... ¡Riquísimo! And then he helped us out by visiting some of our investigators. There are a couple other members that are willing to go with us on appointments basically any day.</div>

Other than that, this last week I finished the Book of Mormon in Spanish. I love how that even though it's not my native language, I learn more and more each time I read it. Now I'm reading Doctrine and Covenants. Right now I'm in section 10. Today we also played basketball with the other elders on the ward (Elder Carr and Elder Herrera). Super fun.</div>

4th quarter. Voy a seguir dándole "my very best". Lo cual es lo que prometí al Señor cuando acepté mi llamamiento. Y estoy bien animado porque voy a hacerlo con un misionero nuevo. Solo es mas influencia para hacerlo bien. Les quiero mucho a ustedes y espero que les están llegando todas las bendiciones del Señor... Chaulafan jaja</div>

My son now has more time in the mission field than the MTC so he's happy about that. We celebrated today by buying pizza in this place called Oskar's where the pizza is sold in giant portions for just $1.50. I find excuses to celebrate everything. Even when I was a zone leader we would buy a cake for the zone for any little thing that happened in the zone.</div>

I don't know if it's just Ecuador or all of latin america, but here there are holidays for everything. Today is happy children's day. In the whole month of May is was basically hapy mother's month. Is was harder to proselyte because everyone was having BBQs or something. But we have had some luck with a couple of investigators. One is Silvio Torres. He's going to get baptized this June if all goes well. He already has friends in the church and has attended before. Vanesa Paredes is another personm that we're working with. She was a reference of some active members that are awesome in helping us wth everything. I'll be really happy if we baptize this month since we're opening a sector. My old ward had a baptism this last week too. We attended and took one of our investgators with us to see one. My old companion (Elder Smith) baptized but he forgot to bring his baptismal clothes so he had to borrow his latino companions. They we really short on him haha.</div>

Yesterday I was super sick. I've seriously never had a migrain so bad in the mission. The good things is that the Lord is always encouraging me. I listened to a talk from Pres. Eyring not too long ago that explained that even when our body begs for rest we should always, "remember him". So even though my entire body was aching, we we able to have a day filled with appointments and success. IB-profin helped alot too haha. Now I feel fine again.</div>

Today we went to Mojanda lake again. The other Elders in the district never have been before so I took them us there. Good times. It's super cold up there though. If I ever get the chance to come back to Ecuador I want to go up there again.</div>

His name is Elder Arrieta. He's from Lima, Peru. He's 18 years old and has 4 years as a member. Everyone in his family is a member and his older brother served in Arequipa, Peru. He's the youngest of 3 siblings. He talks really fast and sometimes I have to ask him to slow down. Not even the members understand him sometimes haha. He likes to cook a lot. He's really humble and does everything that I do hahaha I feel like papa goose. He seriously copies me with everything I love it. I picked him up </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_263014972" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> and then we traveled 2 hours to Otavalo. We started working right away even though we're opening a sector that's has been closed for a couple months. So we basically had to start doing street contacts and knocking on doors right away and he was a little nervous haha but everything went well.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
My new ward is called Rumiñahui (Roo-mean-ya-we) and it's a sweet ward. I'm seriously blessed. The bishop and 1st counselor are brothers and the 2nd counselor is this cool guy from Chile that cook amazingly. The ward counsels are really efficient and the members already love us. We needed "momitas" from everyday and as soon as they figured out that we needed someone to feed us, all 6 days instantly filled up. The ward is just really excited to have 4 missionarys rather than just 2. My sector is giant however. I have like 1/4th of the city of Otavalo plus a decent amount of rural area.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Before I got my son, I was with the ZL´s of Otavalo South for 3 days. It was fun working in Punyaro even though every road in the sector is a dusty dirt road. We walked a ton for those 3 days haha. But right now it's been great learning a new area with a companion that is learning about the mission. In Peru they use Soles, not dolars, like hin the States and in Ecuador. I've even had to help him quite a few times when he buys things haha. He thinks it's funny that the smallest coin (a dime) is worth more than a nickel which is bigger. The bishop took us around in his car yesterday to show us the houses of most of the members in the sector so this week we wont be as lost.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_263014973" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> was one of the funnier days of my mission. Crazy things happened. First of all, while I was contacting this old lady sitting in her car, a city bus drove by and the busses' back tire poped right next to us! It was louder than a gunshot! Something else happened too I think because a giant cloud of black smoke came out too. I'm not even 100% sure what happened. My ears were ringing for like 5 minutes after that haha. I felt even worse for the poor old lady in the car. After that we finally find this active members' house that we were looking for for like 20 minutes. We have a good lesson and then he asked me if I could bless his new car... Hahahaha I didn't know what to say. Can you do that?? I've never done that before. Nevertheless, we hoped in his brand new Nissan and I blessed it hahaha. I didn't even know what to say... "I ask thee to bless the tires that they may never go blad nor explode..."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
After that we do to our next planned appointment and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_263014974" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:00pm</span></span> with a new investigator. We planned the appointment around<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_263014975" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">5:00pm</span></span> when we contacted them. Then we see the sister missionaries arrive and they said that they scheduled an appointment with the same family at the same time. They also contated them around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_263014976" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">5:00pm</span></span>. The only difference was that we talked with the daughter and they talked with the mom. The appointment fell though anyway hahaha dang it!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Creo que eso fue todo... ¡Gracias por todo! ¡Que tengan un buen verano!</div>

I'm going to have a son! Yeah! President Richardson usually lets the zone leaders that are ending their missions train a new missionary. And after being a zone leader for 11 months, now it's my turn! So I'm more that excited for that! Right now I'm actully with the zone leaders of Otavalo South (the other Otavalo zone that I'm now in) because I have to go pick him up <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_515677111" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span>. So I'll be with them for just a couple of days. It should be fun having a training responsibility rather than leadership responsibilites. I feel like I just took off a backpack filled with rocks haha. Other than that, I'm going to be opening a sector in the Rumiñahui ward that was closed for like 6 months I think. I'm going to be attending the same chappel but I'll just be starting sacrament meeting at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_515677112" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:00am</span></span>. So I'll still be able to see members and missionaries for my old ward (Latino). Rumiñahui is the other ward in the stake that teaches Latinos, so Quichua won't be needed again haha oh well... My sector also is the city part of Otavalo rather than just corn fields like most of the wards in the 2 stakes. So It'll be nice to be close to things in the city. My sector might also have the Plaza de Ponchos, but I still don't know yet.<br /></div>
Talking about the last week though, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_515677113" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span> President Richardson did interviews with the whole zone and with some other zones around here. While he was doing the interviews the asistants trained us on an effective way to use the scriptures, which I enjoyed a lot and learned a lot of things from. In the interview president basically just told me that it's fourth quarter now. For my last training as a ZL we trained on the baptismal invitation. But we mostly just tryed to rip the fear out of the missionaries and shared some good scriptures like Romans <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_515677114" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">1:16</span></span> and 2 Timothy 1:7-8 to do it. And for the leadership meeting with the zone and district leaders <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_515677115" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span> we trained on the qualities of a leader and used the example of Ammon (Alma 17). I think they went well.<br /></div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_515677116" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Sunday</span></span> night right before we got the changes we had a giant Family Home Evening with 3 families that are all cousins (familias: Chuquillangui, Tabango, & Gonzales). We taught the Plan of Salvation but made them act it out. I was interesting. We also did a lot of little service this week. For example, my companion saw an indigenous lady (she was like 75 years old) carrying a giant bag. So he offered to help her. And even though my companion is strong, he was struggling. He said that I weighed like over 100 lbs. Old women here are buff just because they carry heavy things up hills for their whole lives.<br /></div>
The asistants also stayed with us one night when they came down to train the zones around here while president was doing the interviews. In the morning we played 2 on 2 basketball and destoyed them haha! It felt so good to play 2 on 2 basketball again after a ton of time not doing it.<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Espero que todos ustedes tengan una buena semana. Si yo no fuere misionero ahora en este tiempo, yo nunca hubiera obtenido un testimonio como la que tengo ahora. Ni el conocimiento que tengo. Entonces gracias a todos que me han apoyado. ¡Cuídense!</span>Elder Joshua Boltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08892741702558671658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336592011380407106.post-58455502696522171602015-05-21T16:29:00.001-05:002015-05-21T16:29:18.975-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last Skype call was awesome! It was also the first time that mom didn't cry at the end hahaha. Good work, mom! It was great It was great skyping from Otavalo too. The weather is almost always nice so it wasn't like the first Skype call in the jungle where I was sweating like crazy haha.<br /></div>
During the week we had the mission council. We have changes in a week from now and I've been a ZL for was too long so it might have been my last one. But it was a really good one. President Richardson trained on what he learned from the meeting he had with all of the mission presidents of Venesuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Plus he talked about the Work of Salvation. I always love spending the night in Quito with the ZL`s there too. I've been out of Quito for months now and they changed the metrobus system but other than that I still know it like the back of my hand. We're allowed to watch cartoon (Like Disney) movies on the way there so we watched Space Jam and Dispicable Me 2. So I love the 2 hours bus rides becuase of that haha.<br /></div>
This week we were really working with the missionaries, or at least verifying everything during the nightly verifications. We did divisions with Centenario, which aren't much of divisions because we share almost the same sector. The main difference is that we teach the Latinos, they teach the Lamanites. We also tryed to get to know the sector better. Since there are only 2 wards out of all the wards in these 2 stakes, out sector is huge. So we went out far into Quiroga. And we found some new investigators and a less-active member so that was nice!<br /></div>
Today we went to the famous Cuicocha lake which is a volcanic crater with a huge lake in it. The huge lake has 2 islands in it too. It was kind of rainy and cold but really worth it. Plus a fellow gringo from Texas (Stan Marlo, who's a member but doesn't speak much Spanish but his wife does perfectly) took us up there for free. Then he and his wife took us out to eat at this place where gringos go to and I ate a BLT. So I'm more than happy right now.<br /></div>

<u><span style="font-family: Arial;">Hi everyone! Sorry for
the cheesy title. I'll start with investigators this time. Patricia Guajan has
a date for the 23th of May and already has like 5 atendances. We just
need to wait for her to get married on the 22nd and she'll be good. She already
has a strong testimony. We found a new family on Sunday (Familia
Troya-Saavedra). It's a wierd last name but they're humble people and they
preparing for the 30th of May. Other than that, we have a couple of
new investigators that we are just starting with. A challenge here is finding
new investigators because it's not that big of an area and the church has quite
a bit of time here. In fact, it's celebrating 50 years here. Which is awesome
except for the fact that it'll be at the end of the year and I won't be there.
The zone has had success though, we went to a baptism in Agato (Indigenous
ward) this week and it was great. They gave us a ton of beans as a desert after
the baptism...<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<u><span style="font-family: Arial;">This week we had a
great zone council! Seriously I've never felt so good about a training that
I've given with my companion. We got the zone really excited and encouraged,
then we dropped the spirit like a bomb, it was great. We did another service
project as well. We moved like 100 30lbs bags of sand up the 2nd floor for the
Hidrobo family. It was tough after a while but I've learned to love to serve.
Right now we are preparing again for the mission council and we're going to go
to Quito in about 2 hours. I love the mission councils, and it could be my last
one.<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<u><span style="font-family: Arial;">There's this Mexican
restaurant that we found called Taco Bello (It looks like "bell" but
there's a "O" smilie face after). And it's amazing. We're probably
going to go there every time that the momita falls (Which isn't often)... I'll
update you on my reading goals now (That probably doesn't sound like me haha).
Right now I'm reading el Libro de Mormón and I'm in Alma 56. I should finish in
about a month with that. Plus I'm finishng True to the Faith. It got about 30
pages left to read. Which will complete my mission goal of reading basically
every book we are allowed to read (The Bible(Old and new testaments), The Book
of Mormon, Doctrine and Convedents, The Pearl of Great Price, Jesus the Christ,
Our Heritage, Our Search for Happiness, True to the Faith, Preach My Gospel,
and the Missionary Handbook). Oh yeah!!<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>

Stake conference this weekend was no disappointment. First of all, another black dog got in again. One of the high priests tryed to get it out for like 10 minutes but couldn't. Finally Elder Hagemeyer took out bread from his bag and lured it out with everyone watching, then I closed the door. Teamwork. By the way, there were more than 1500 members in a medium sized chappel. They had to add chairs in hte isles just so everyone could get in. So once you got in, you couldn't get out. President and Sister Richardson were there and also gave talks. President used the same scripture that I used just before conference (Alma 23:3) to explain the faithfulness of the Lamanites, which they were. Revelation!</div>

We did a service <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1207188654" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> for a recent convert family. we had to move like 5,000 cement bricks and like 1000 pounds of sand up to the next story. We had a line going but them Elder Smith just decided to throw the bricks up to me from the ground floor haha. Then we had to fill bag of sand and carry them up one by one. It was hard but fun. Right before that we ate at a western-american themed grill called Tío Jesse. It's super expensive but it was worth it. I got this huge bacon burger and almost cryed. </div>

The missionaries in our zone are awesome but we still have the same problems. So on Thursday we had a training about finding solutions and it turned out pretty sweet. We played games about finding solutions and workind as a team and then we had like a zone counsil and found solutions as a zone. And this week we did a ton better so I'm happy! We also had divisions with Companía (Elder Leal and Elder Castro). During those divisions my companion got bit by a dog that just gave birth haha. They are devils. I've learned to hate dogs from South America. I haven't been bitten yet but there's been like hundreds of close calls. Plus on that day Elder Smith missed out on shrimp. So I rubbed it in his face haha.</div>

The bishop took us out again on Sunday and now we have a ton of less-active members to work with. The husband of one of them has a baptismal date for the 16th of May! He's a drinker but we'll keep trying to help them out. His name is Segundo Iza. Other than that this week has been really interesting with investigators. We're teaching a guy that killed someone like 10 years ago. He's awesome though. I know he'll progress. I've learned to become more firm and brave under difficult situations because I know that the Lord is protecting me.</div>

It's really nothing compared to Utah's winter but because of the rain and wind that we've been having all week long, I gotta get used to it again. I'm going to die when I get back to Utah haha. But sometimes I really like the rain though. The only thing that really bothers me about the rain is that it's a lot harder to contact in the street and when we knock on door they don't want to let us in haha. But we're working hard. We look for solutions, not excuses.</span><br />

On Tuesday we had a training that lasted from 10 am to 7pm.. Basically all day long. For the most part of the day, there were 3 other zones there with us too. We have great trainings from presidnet and a pretty sweet training from the assistants about inspired questions too. I got everyone excited to ask more inspired questions. The only bed thing about the training is that it was raining super hard for like 2 hours and I almost couldn't hear a thing haha. It was almost as bad as the jungle rain. But through the Spirit, we were al able to get the messages.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we did quite a few divisions as well. We worked with our district leader, Elder Richardson, and his new companion, Elder Vargas. I love doing interchanges with new missionaries just because they are so pure and innocent haha. One of the assistants stayed with us for a day and a night as well. And while my companion did the monthly meeting with the missiona dnstake presidnet, I was doing divisions with Hno. Guevara, a recent convert of the ward. I got to know a lot about other this week because of divisions.</div>

While we waited I contacted some local Otavaleños and we played soccer and basketball haha. They beat me in soccer, I won in basketball. Plus while we were waited there at the house of the investigator, his step parents casturated a pig. I've never seen that before. The squeeling almost made my ears bleed. But, while the others were doing divisions and working somewhere else, the investigator finally showed up and passed his interview. So it was worth the wait. Many people don't have phones here so it so hard to contact them.</div>

The bishop took us this week to a lot of inactive members houses that are really far away. I learned yesterday that my sector is insanely huge. It goes out almost all the way to the coast and i techniqually have the providences in my sector (Pichncha, Imbabura, and Esmeraldas). Our ward, along with Rumiñahui, are in charge of all the Latinos within the Otavalo area, the rest of the wards have indiginous people. But it was great teaching with the bishop all day long as he took us around in his truck to rescue the lost sheep.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Today we went to Lake Mojanda, which is this beautiful lake that's in our sector but really high in altitude and about 10 miles away from the city but up a steep rocky road. We took a truck tazi to get up there. We were thinking about hiking to the peak of Fuya Fuya, where you can see all the way to Quito, but we didn't have time. We just hiked up about 1/3 way and took a lot of pictures. One of the missionaries was having a hard time with the elevation but we were cheering her on and we all made it up... Well, not to the top, but pretty high haha.</div>

Chuta, esta carta fue aún más grande... De nada, o quizá disculpa, o no sé jaja... Estamos trabajando con muchas parte familias y nuevas familias que hemos contactado. No hemos visto mucho éxito con ellos hasta ahora, ¡pero seremos persistentes con ellos hasta que se bauticen todos! ¡Gracias por todo el apoyo que me dan cada uno de ustedes! Digo de nuevo que amo la misión. Espero que tengan todos una semana buenísima dondequiera que se encuentren.<br clear="all" /><div>

I'll never forget English, but I'll studder at times haha. In fact, from </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1997008198" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> to Wednesday, I was in a trio with a missionary from California that was going to train and had to stay with us and wait until Thursday morning to get his companion. So we've also beeen working in 2 sectors. But I'm adjusting now.</span><br />

Right now we are working super hard, I love it. On Thursday we had like a million contacts and walked around all the sector. I got really sunburnt haha but after harder days I feel really satisfyed when I arrive at home each night. And even when we work hard and we don't instantly see many things out of it, I know that the Lord is always there. In fact, I was just reading Mosiah 24 this morning, which is one of my favorite chapters, and I know with certanty that we're being heard and guided. I love the mission.</div>

The members are waking up more and giving us a lot of referals. Even though most of them are for othert wards like Rumiñahui, It's great to see them more active. We're still trying really hard to work with the home teachers since that's basically a problem in the whole stake, and hopefully we'll get success out of that. On Tuesday we were contacting up on a giant hill where you can see like half on the providence Imbabura in a place called Yambiru and we founf some new less-actice members that live up there (Renato Días y Meida Sepeda). They have desires to come back and we just started working with them.</div>

Today we went to a place called El Lechero where we tooka ton of pictures, kind of fun. Next week we will be able to do more activities so we're going to Lago Cuicocha, which is like a volcanic crater lake with an island in the middle of it, should be cool. Tomorrow President and the assistants will be coming here to Otavalo to be training us about teaching skills. The first meeting is from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1997008199" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10:00am to 1:00pm</span></span>, and the second from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1997008200" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">2:00pm to 8:00pm</span></span>. So we'll be in the chappel all day long, but I'm still excited.</div>

Mi compañero compró una pintura grade de Quito por $20. Es chevere porque tiene Panecillo y el volcán Cotapaxi. Realmente costaba $35 pero el preciso se bajó porque él solo tenía un billete de $20. Creo que voy a hacer lo mismo jaja. Ya tengo planes para comprar recuerdos en Mayo cuando yo termine el cambio. Y sí, mamá, recibí el paquete y las cosas de Pascua. ¡Gracias! ¡Les quiero muchísimo y deseo que tengan una buena semana!</div>
