Hello everyone!  This week has been in all places.  I had to travel to Guayaquil this past week for a couple days for a couple conferences.  The first one was for the new guys that got here, so that was for my comp.  Then the next day was a leaders counsel.  That one was very interesting.  It went from 8 in the morning until like 6 or 7 at night. But it was filled with lots of revelacion for the mission.  It was super cool!  My mission dad was there so we took a pic!  Also, everyone sang happy birthday for those who have their birthday this month!  That part wasn't my favorite cause, yeah, I've never been really excited about that stuff.  But I look weird in the pic cause my eyes were tired.

This Saturday we will be having a baptism. It was super weird because he's had a baptismal date for the 1st of September, but can have his baptism when he wants because he has a testimony and a lot of asistencia in the church.  He's been set on the 1st because that's when the rest of his family will be able to make it.  But then called me last night and just said hey, I want to move the date for this Saturday and what do I need to do now to be baptized on Saturday.   So I was like uhhhhhh.... well we need to do this and this and so on.  But it was kind of weird but I'm pumped!

Anyway, I love you guys so much and hope everyone is doing the things we need to do daily like saying our prayers and reading the scriptures. These things really strengthen us for the challenges we have throughout the day. Bye!
