El Selado

Well I have a little bit to get you caught up on.

Last Saturday I went to the Iguana Park to try and get a good photo of the iguanas climbing on me. But alas we go there just after they finished eating and so we got no photo. I was kinda bummed but it was all good.

Then on Sunday i was able to go do interviews in the other wards. I had served in Prosperina and got to see lots of converts and members and it was great. I even got a picture with a convert and his certificate of getting the Aaronic priesthood.
Then on Wednesday I went and did splits with Elder Serrano the Zone leader and I really enjoyed it. We had to go to Playas to do some interviews and we had two 2 hours bus rides to sit and talk. He is going to come to the US to play football (American) and try and be a doctor. He's super great and speaks English so I said he can crash at my house if he wants.
Then on Thursday, the assistant walked into my room as I studied and he told me that I was getting transferred in the afternoon. So I had to go and get everything ready and then I went to the office. We had a last lunch and President Dennis thanked me for all the work I've done. He was great. And then I went to the Terminal. But I actually just went to find my comp because he is here in Guayaquil. So there I met up with Elder Leiva from Chile. He's super great and I'm excited to work with him. We are Zone Leaders in El Salado. It's a zone that is picking up speed and has lots of potential. I'm super excited to see what we can do.
Today I went to the Iguana Park again cause Elder Leiva didn't know about it. I did get a good photo of one getting on me and it was cool. But I'm really pretty excited to see what I can do in the future here in this zone.
PS: the people here in this sector are crazy but in a funny way. The women are crazy. They try and give me their phone numbers and they say things as I walk by. So great confidence boost right? Either way it's a great story.

One Week. Three Comps

This week we had transfers. Our old ZL finished his mission Wednesday and the new people came on Friday so it wasn't much of a surprise that on Friday we had transfers. I did get transfered. The surprise was that I stayed in the zone. And not just that but I became the companion of Elder Rojas, from Chile. He trained Elder Costello from my CCM group. But right after training he became the zone leader in our zone. So then I became his companion. So if you were able to follow that train to logic town, I am the new Zone Leader in our zone. Not what I expected. But I guess its all good.
Then last night we got the call from the assistants that there were more transfers. And Elder Rojas had the transfer. So I had 3 days with him. And one was an intercambio trying to help another sector. So I don't really know our sector that well. But there are quite a few people here.
My new companion is Elder Mejia. He is from Honduras and is excellent. He has had a lot of success lifting up zones and so we know what we need to do right now. It's going to be great to see the way that we can really get to work.
As for finishing my time with Elder Arias, things went well. We had seemed to have everything understood and working well when I got transfered. But I guess thats the way life goes.
So this week well keep working and try and find the best that we can to lift up the zone to be the best in the mission, in the Ecuador and in the world.
