Wow a good week!

This was a great week for us. We ended up having 3 baptisms and a Rescue. It was great cause we have nearly filled all of our goals for this month. We have already exceeded our goal for baptisms. So I'm glad about that. But now I'm a bit worried about November. We are finding new people and helping the ones we have to progress. We have a few people but I'm still concerned.
This week was great cause I've seen lots of cool things from Elder Criddle. He baptized for the first time, confirmed for the first time and gave a talk for the first time all within 24 hours. He was stressed but it came out great.
Today we went to the Igauana park (again) and it was great. This is the first time that the banana thing worked really well. A huge iguana just climbed all over me and nearly kissed me and it was sick. Got some great photos and videos.
Other than that the work is doing great. I am doing great with my comp and things are flowing really really well. Now I feel like I need to give more attention to the zone and help the rest stand up to shine. But either way listening to conference more will help out a bunch.
As for the photos of this week. I haven't had much luck with this computer but I will keep trying.
Oh and today for breakfast I made Patacones. It's a traditional Ecuadorian snack. It's green Platano fried and smushed and fried again. And I had it with cheese. It was pretty good. I was proud of my self.
Also today we had a wrestling match in the house. It was pretty sick. But no one got hurt so that was really good.


Exitos,

Transfers

Well, today I got transferred. I guess it wasn't a big transfer but it was a transfer. I had to move my luggage to the other room and clean everything up. President is trying something new of having the zone leaders be split up and training new missionaries. So I am going to be training and a zone leader and I will be going to open up the new sector. Fun stuff right? It will be stressful but i guess it's what needs to be done. But I take this as a sign that this is where I am going to die (finish my mission). 6 months left and I'm training and a ZL? yeah I'll be here for a while.
But I felt kinda bummed out this week cause we didn't get the results we wanted but I know that we are super close. Seriously, I just feel like we need to pick up our game a bit more and we will do great.
Well I don't have much time cause the clock is ticking and my hour is almost up but I'm excited to see what we can do this week in my new sector.

Well, we are in trio again

So this week has had its ups and its downs. But this was a week to remember. First of all I have a new compaion. His name is Elder Mezarina from Lima. Seriously I can not stop getting Peruvian compaions. We are training him. So I now have 3 Peruvian sons and a Peruvian Father. Am I actually Peruvian?
Things are going pretty well here. We have a family that is super excited about the church. It's a mom and her 2 sons. They should get baptized the 15th. We have some other families that are a little bit lukewarm. But I am excited to see what all we can do.
As a zone we had 11 confirmations this week. So we are starting off the month strong. It's good cause we have the goal as a zone to have 40 converts this month. We really are doing well already. We have 6 or 7 more this week and then we need to see how the rest go. I really am excited though. Just everyone pray for us.
I don't know how it happened but I forgot about the Super Bowl until I was going to bed Sunday Night. Crazy right? Nothing like me.
Overall things are going well and I know they will keep getting better. I only have fear that I will not be here in the zone to see us get 40. But who knows these days.
Oh and Elder Waddell is going to come this week to the mission and it should be really cool. I'm thinking puro machete for all of the wicked elders-But not really. I'm hoping to get some great spiritual advice.

Week Two of Training

So week two of training down. Things are still doing really well. I am really enjoying how the work is going. We did have baptisms this week. They fluxuated from 1 to 5 through out the week. In the end we had 3. The other two had really different problems. One can't wait to be baptized and just needs permission and the other has permission and support from his family (kinda) and has lost the desire. His mom is a member but doesn't want to make the decision for him so she really isn't supporting him. But overall things are great.
Today was supposed to be transfers but it didn't really happen. They only closed one sector in our zone cause an elder finished his mission. He was a DL. They are just going to have 1 less leader for a while in the zone haha.
Overall things are great. I got some letters this week so I was happy about that.
