We went to the temple!

So first of all the highlight of my day was that we got permision to go to the Temple this morning. We went cause Elder Rodriguez and Elder Hernandez are going home on Monday. So we went as the office and I really enjoyed it. It was pretty great. I got alot of revelation about what I need to be doing and who I need to work with. I am excited to see what I can do. It was also fun cause I saw an former Zone Leader from Quito that was in the session as a surprise.
The World Cup was the big news this week. They lost to Switzerland and then they beat Honduras so it all depends on what happens against France. France is extremely good so I am kinda scared. They should have tied against Switzerland but they lost cause the other team got a goal as time expired. I heard that it was pretty crazy to watch.
We are trying to get some great work done right now but we have a few that are finishing the mission this week so we had to deal with that. But the good news is that I was able to help Elder Hernandez and Elder Murillo have a baptism today. She is a great lady and i was honored to do the interview. Elder Hernandez goes home on Monday so he really needed it. And Elder Murillo has been in the office for over a year and hasn't had many baptisms in that time either so it's a great boost for both.
The new Assistant came and I'm excited. I get along with him well and so it should be great. Also the new materials secretary came and it's an elder that I have been with on and off for about a year so I already imagine how that is going to go.
Overall things are well and I have 4 months in the office and I'm getting hungry to go and work in the field like a normal missionary. But we will see when that happens.

Busy Week

Alright so this week I took a few good photos. One is me and Elder Moore. I am not quite sure which one is me. haha. The other is at the mustache restaurant from last week. They had a mural of the Beatles and they had some good staches there. And the other is me and Elder Rodriguez at a place that we ate at today that sells great Encebollado. It's a "soupish" type of thing with Onions (Cebollos) and fish. Its really great. It's the food that Guayaquil is famous for but they only do it in the morning on the weekends.
This week has been going well right now. But it's true that when a companionship talks everything out, they really do better than if they try to just avoid the problem and it sits and steams inside of them until it bursts. I guess that is probably what being married is like to. I suppose there is great importance for a couple inventory so that they can figure out the problems without everyone being mad. Like they say, the companion you are is the spouse you will be. The mission applies to everything.
We couldn't go out too much this week cause of conferences and random visa emergencies and random historical emergencies but this coming week should be better. We have "news" coming to the mission and "olds dying" and returning home this week but after Wednesday we should be home free with all of the office work.
I am excited to see how we can help everyone we have been teaching and working with to progress in these coming days.I got a package this week from my friend Bianca. That was super great of her to send it, it had stuff from St Patricks day and Easter so that was fun to see. Plus lots of sweets to share with everyone. (PS- as I was writing I accidentally wrote sweats at first. That would have completely changed the meaning of that sentence and the package.) So I was super grateful to have gotten that from her.
We had leadership council and a sisters conference this week so things were busy all week but it's fun to see how we can get out and get stuff done when we are done with the office work.
