When I think about being a missionary in the olden days
sending snail mail, by air carrier, boat, or pony express? its easy to imagine
that letters would get lost right? Or sometimes its doesn't matter what year it
is, something is still going to happen with you mail...like maybe your District
Leader is going to return home to ECUADOR???!!!! and carry off YOUR PRECIOUS LETTERS!!!!! I'm still bitter about it, because I´m probably not ever going to see those...all I
have to say is that I hope it wasn't anyone besides Mom or Dad, because I wont
be responding.
On the plus side, I did finally get my PACKAGE!!!!! I received
it just in time for my 7th month birthday :) And let me just say that the mac n
cheese and french toast with KNEADERS SYRUP was the highlight of my week. I feel
so blessed to have the connections to get me propaganda mailed from INSIDE the
country lol. I LOVE YOU MOM, DYLAN, AND AMERICAN TREASURES!

Alright, so this is gonna be short and sweet. I decided I was
going to respond to emails first, because I have not been writing anyone, and
when you don't write people back, then no one writes you, except your parents
and President, annnnddddd its just depressing.
Right....so I have just about NO time... so sorry this is
going to be absolutely terrible...
Margarita and her daughters Lorena and Sole are currently
rocking my world because they keep ALL of their commitments, and are coming to
general conference this weekend! Love them. Also, they gave us cake during our
last visit. We made a GIANT cake with a layer of vanilla, a layer of
chocolate, and banana and dulce de leche in the middle and we gave away some of
it but....we basically ate all of it lol it was delicious.
Soooooo the Branch was like totallyyyyyy falling apart, but
now we have a new Presidente and president came down, had a meeting with us,
and basically told us that we´re all going to be here for awhile. good thing I
like it here. He said that we´ll be a critical part in raising the branch back
up. Talk about pressure but such
a privileged and honor that Heavenly Father trusts US enough to be here to take
care of this fragile part of his vineyard. We shall do our best!
ehhhhhhh....yeah thats about all...I´ve been super stressed
out about being the perfect missionary but the biggest thing that Ive learned
this week is that we dont have 18 months or 2 years to become perfect...we have
18 months to start the process, to learn how we should live, discover who we
are, our true potential, and it should be enjoyable not miserable. and I´m just
a really happy missionary
that is all
love you
love you
