Hey everyone !! This week has definitely been super crazy!!!
To start of, this week was filled with 3 exchanges, getting bit by a huge dog, getting a new comp, leading the changes of 20 missionaries, and even more!
The week has made me pretty exhausted, but today I received my new companion, Elder Floyd! He is super cool. He is also from Utah, and he has a year in the mission! I am super excited to learn from him!
I wanna share another experience that I had this week! So during one of our exchanges we went to this place called Ibarra! We did a huuuge service that took about 5 hours, helping this family moving so much dirt out of all these rocks so that they could get them removed! there were ten missionaries working on the project! To give a bit of a background, the mom is a member, but the dad is not. The missionaries have been teaching the two kids for forever!!! The dad would never give the permission so that they could get baptized! Anyway, right after the service the dad signed the paperwork, and the two kids are on track to get baptized this weekend!!! We are soo excited for them! It was a super great experience that shows if we really have the desire to get something done, we just have to do our absolute best and God will always soften the hearts of those who need it the most! I’m so grateful to be here in this mission! I’m grateful for all that I have learned in my time in leadership because it really forces you to stretch your knowledge and do your absolute best job!
I love all of you and grateful for all the support you all give me! I hope you have a great week!!
