Hey fam and friends!
The work has been progressing well. This last week was
definitely busy and we got a lot of stuff done. Tonight we have a noche de
hogar (family home evening) with one of the strongest families in our ward.
They are inviting 3 other families who are not members and we are going to
teach and show one of the shorter videos about the restoration! This is going
to be a big night for us!
I am not sure if I told you guys a week or so ago but I had
interchanges for a day with one of our zone leaders in our zone. And he sure
worked me hard. I learned so much and was so sore the next day because their
sector is quite a bit larger than ours. I like going on changes with other
Elders because I have the opportunity to learn to teach and contact in a
different way. We got so much accomplished. I put this into practice when I got
back with Elder Tomlinson and it has helped us out a lot as far as working
efficiently.
So we do have 2 investigators with baptism dates for the
14th of November right now. They are an older husband and wife. They are in
their early 60. Their names are Gaston and Rosio. Gaston is a politician for
the city of Guayaquil. Not quite sure to what extent but he works in a big
office building. He is the coolest guy we have met. He has been keeping committments
and always asks a lot of questions during our lessons. His first sunday in
Elders Quorum with us he was contributing so much because he has read and
studied the Bible and he is a really intelligent guy. And his wife is not there
as much but she is getting ready for the same date. Funny thing, because one of
their daughters lives below them with her husband and their 3 kids. We are
hoping to be able to get this family all baptised at the same time. Wouldnt
that be so great_ (my question mark button doesnt work) We have not had a lot
of time to teach them this last week because their daughter had a
Qinsinetta(sp) they have been preparing for. But this week we are going to go
back at it full force!
The food is growing on me. And by that I mean the soup.
Because the main plate is always a bunch of rice. One of the hermanos in our
ward makes the best sopa de queso! In english its cheese soup, I pray you guys
could have figured that one out on your own haha. But its a cheesy broth with
noodles, potatoes and chunks of cheese...its my favorite!
So I guess any day now we are supposed to be getting the el
nino rain storms here. Ive heard stories of Elders walking and proselyting in
the flooded streets with water well up past the knees. So we are going to see
how bad it gets
Picture from another family home evening with the Portilla
Family(whos house we are going over to tonight) on the right. They are one of
the families that have us over for lunch and Rico served his mission in
Columbia some 10 years ago or so. They are a great family and he is always so
willing to go on visits with us so it is great.
Glad all is well for the fam! I love you guys keep having
FHE and remember to read the scriptures every night and pray together! All is
well out here
Love
Elder Solari
