Yes we heard about the Belgium Airport incident from some of
the members here. I know the Lord protected those 4 missionaries because of all
the prayers that are being said by the families back home. That's cool to hear
about your trip to Portland! Dad sent me some cool pictures .
Anyways this week was great. We have been working hard
inviting everyone we see to General Conference this coming week! Because if we
dont have investigators there with us we wont be able to watch! But dont worry,
we are going to have a ton! It should be a great experience because now that I
can understand Spanish I will be able to understand Conferencia General this
coming week. It really is one of the highlights here in the mission field. I
love hearing the Prophet and the Apostles speak, especially because they always
teach principles that help us out with the missionary work.
This last week we had a baptism! His name is Joel Quinones
and we have been preparing him for some time. We also found out he has an Uncle
that part of the stake presidency so that was cool. We had a great baptismal
service with a lot of support from the members. He has a lot of energy and has
warmed up well with the other youth in the ward. So the hand off to the ward
was perfect and we are going to continue teaching him as long as we can.
Because as of right now I have about 2 and a half months in this sector, and my
companion does too. We think one of us is going to have transfers this week so
were going to see what happens.
I dont know if I ever told you guys but our mission has a
Hymn. President Torres wrote it with 3 other missionaries maybe 2 years ago.
Ill try to send a picture of it so you can play it and hear how it goes. Its
called We are Disciples of Christ.
This last week Ive been pondering a lot on the life of Christ.
How He lived a life of strict obedience to His Father. It made me think a lot
about the mission. We, too, live a life of strict obedience and are blessed
greatly for it. Sure we cant play spórts, leave the house in street clothes, or
watch television or any of that...But we are blessed here in the Lords work. We
are helping everyone come unto Christ through faith in Christ and His
Atonement, repentance, Baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. I feel
to blessed to be here in the best mission in the whole world. I love a
scripture in the Bible that says something along the lines of: He that leaves
family, home and the world behind for my cause will receive 100 times more and
inherit eternal life. I feel like I am being redeemed for serving the Lord here
in Ecuador. And I know that all of you guys too can serve the Lord through your
callings in the church, giving references to the missionaries, and going on
visits with them. I promise it will bring such great joy in your lives!

Boyd K. Packer:
The gospel
teaches us that relief from torment and guilt can be earned through repentance.
Save for those who defect to perdition after having known a fullness, there is
no habit, no addiction, no rebellion, no transgression, no offense exempted
from the promise of complete forgiveness. October General Conference, 1995.
Lots of
Love
