THE SURGERY
Happy Presidents Day
to everyone. I love George Washington!!...jaja
Well, another week
came and went. It was a good one. Only have a few minutes so dont expect my
normal Oxford/Ms.Okeefe literary devices/skills....
What
every ward activity looks like in Ecuador...FUTBOL!
Finally
got a side job to make a lil cash... ´´DJ KevvyKev´´
Anyways. First, this
Saturday was the baptism of E. His mom got baptized last Saturday and since
then he has been SO READY. We had some great visits with him this week,
including one with basically the whole Young Mens quorum and the YM
President...which was awesome. He went to all the activities at the church this
week--including a Stake dance on Saturday (the baptism only started 30 minutes
late...but it was worth it because when he showed up about 10 youth did too!)
He is a beast and has made some huge changes in his life and I love him like a
little brother (not that I would know what that is like....). The baptism was
great as ever and I am so grateful to have played a small part in helping
somebody find God and trust His son Jesus Christ.
Baptism of E
A 5 meter long Boa
snake skin that E’s dad killed....his grandpa is the chief of the Shuars...a
tribe in the Amazon. Epic!
Also, before the
baptism we had the baptismal interview for a 17 year old whose mother is
(was...as of yesterday:)) less active. She will be baptized this Saturday at 7.
All are welcome! Lol.
Oh, I gave a sweet
talk yesterday on Missionary Work. I found out Saturday night so I didnt have
too much time to prepare...but luckily as a missionary its kinda easy to talk
about missionary work! Also, I used a sweet 5 step process of how members can
better share the gospel! (thanks Jeff;)). It was good, even the crying babies
stopped about halfway through....so Id say it was a success.

Also, that whole 2
companions thing only lasted 3 days... Something happened in some part of the
mission and my new comp from last week got sent to another part of Quito...good
old emergency changes....
How
our house was for 3 days...before emergency changes AGAIN
Okay, thats about
all. OH WAIT. Prophets... This week was an awesome week where I focused my
studying on Prophets. The majority of that studying was spent watching some
sweet videos/devotions. I watched the 95th Bday Celebration of Gordon B
Hinckley, the 200th Bday celebration of Joseph Smith, and Thomas S Monson - On
the Lords Errand. WOW. Three INCREDIBLE MEN. I am way grateful for the example
those men and all the prophets of God have given us...and their AMAZING lives
of service.

& Less-Active reading the BoM in the park...EPIC!
Well, I love you all and
hope you have a great week!
