The last week.....
Well this is my last week. Probably my last opportunity to write and it's really crazy to think about. It seems like the time has flown by way to quickly and I can't believe that it's coming to an end.
Yesterday was my last leadership meeting. President Dennis had me give the "last prayer" and they had us stand up and they gave thanks to those who are finishing. It's normal to do but its weird that I was one this time.
Today was my last district meeting and I gave my "last testimony" to the zone. It was crazy to think of all the ones I had seen but at the same time I didn't have any idea what to say. Now we are having our last times eating in each house and we are saying good bye to everyone. It's going to be crazy to see what we can do to finish well.
The Zone is doing well. We are really close to our goal and we did well last month also. I kinda wish I could see us go and get it all done in March. Or in other words kind wish I wasn't going home.
I don't have to much else to say. Oh but they cut our electricity at the house cause we never got the bill to pay so we forgot to go and pay. So they cut us on Friday and we don't know how to pay it without the bill. so we will try and get that figured out soon. In the morning it's fine cause the sun is up but at night it is horrible. It gives me a head ache to write by candle light for so long as I'm on the phone with the rest of the zone. But I guess that's life right?
Well I guess I'll see what i can do to keep in touch with everyone and if I write next week.

Let's go to the beach!
Alright so all this week I was expecting transfers. President had told me a couple weeks ago that he was thinking about it so I figured it would happen. So from Friday to Sunday I took some pictures with some members and investigators. It was kinda tough cause I wasn't sure that I was getting transferred so I didn't want to say a big good bye but I was pretty sure.
When I said good bye to my convert and her son, she started crying and tried to give me a hug. She said I'm always welcome in her home if I can ever come back and she was grateful that we could have taught her the gospel. It was great to see how converted she has come to be. She puts on Facebook things of the church and tells her family members about what she has learned.
We also were able to meet a older guy that is super great and super excited. He accepted a baptismal date super fast and is just super great. He came to church and loved it and his only challenge is his vision. He can't go to church alone cause he can't see but there are lots of members who can go with him.
But sadly I had to leave all of this behind. I got transferred today to Salina, Santa Elena. It's also called the Peninsula. It's the farthest west part of Ecuador (not counting Galapagos) It's all beach and it's got the ocean breeze. I'm excited to see what I can do here. Elder Mejia (my comp last year this time) was here over a year ago and I remember all the great things he told me about it. So I'm excited to be a part of it. The weather here is great and I'm excited to see about the people too. I'm trying to send a photo but the computer doesn't work great. If I cant send it I'm sorry.

PS my new comp is Elder Galvis from Colombia. He came on his mission pretty much the same time as me and we would be going home together but he will go home a bit early to start studying on time.
