Good evening one and all!
What a fine day it is to be here and writing to you!
And
might I say what a pleasure it was to speak to everyone yesterday! It
was good to see you all and hear your luxurious (yet 2-year aged)
voices! And that game of BOMB did make me quite jealous, for I may be
the only one in Ecuador that knows about that game! Perhaps I`ll teach
it to the missionaries someday...
So I hope the call will keep you all in tune for the next 7 weeks, for it shall be a grand 7 weeks for me!
So, all in all, this has been a busy yet good week. So you may ask, what happened? Here we go!
-Marriage! Yes, the family Z are officially
married and ready to be baptized for this Saturday! ( I would send
photos, but just this morning my SD card got a virus and all my recent
photos are trapped in an invisible jail cell of misery!) So we`re way
excited for them.
-Then, baptisms! Not for us, but for a lovely
little zone! 3 different sectors baptized thus ending a 4 week
no-baptism drought, and this next Saturday we are expecting 7 more in
the zone! So all shall go well!
-Zone Interviews! So, last Friday president Ghent
and the assistants had a visit to our zone. We had a training meeting on
how to teach lessons more effectively and had interviews with the
President, which are always very refreshing. And it is odd, the next
time I have an interview with the President, It will be my last! EGADS!
Not too many trunky thoughts for this letter!
-We also had an activity in Cangahua on Saturday,
which is a sector of our zone up on the mountain, in which we left with
all the members there to go `rescue` some 150 less active members! We
split off into about 10 groups, and conquered the area! It was very
nice indeed.
-And for a final announcement.. this is the last
week of the change! Next Sunday are changes, and whoever will be my new
companion will be (as the missionaries say) killing me! The term kill
as in they were my last companion in the mission, not literally nor in a
bad way! Just like your first sector is where you are `born`, so is
the last sector where you `die`.
So why would missionaries use these type of terms to
describe mission life? BECAUSE! The mission is just a mini-plan of
salvation! Our life before is related to pre-earth life, and after is
just like post-earth life, and just as our life choices prepare us for
the eternities, so will those 2 years be like a preparation for our home
life. The mission is just a life-preparer, in many ways! So serving a
full time mission faithfully will ensure that you can serve the rest of
your mortal life faithfully! Neat, right?
So this week we hope to find some new
investigators and meet with many members! And we are going to contact
like crazy! Many doors are just itching to have our soft knuckles rap
them! So we`ll share our success next week.
SEE Y`ALL LATER!
