This week has defiantly been
one to remember!!!
I thought that having
transfers the week before my birthday would be kinda a bummer cuz I wouldn’t
know anyone here. But this Branch is seriously already family and I could not
be happier to be here with them! Like half the branch got together this Wednesday
to celebrate my birthday. Which was a surprise party that I did not see coming
at all! My comp is a stud and organized everything without me even knowing a
thing... ha-ha I thought no one knew that it was my birthday and I was just
like "oh well, I’m just glad that I have this day to work and be a
missionary" but everyone gave a short speech about something funny I’ve
done here or a memory we have had together! I cannot describe how awesome this
family of mine is here in Ecuador!! Just wanted to thank everyone for the
birthday wishes!! They mean a lot!!
Also one of the assistants
came down for our District meeting and he brought a cake and the whole zone celebrated
with me, which was super cool!
Oh yeah the whole cop car
thing!! So we were celebrating and having a good time last Wednesday night but didn’t
realize what time it was. It was about 8:55 and as missionaries here we have to
be in the house at 9:00 with no exceptions. So yeah we were sprinting home when
the cops pulled us over because they thought we got robbed or something. We
told them our story and they gave us a "fast and furious" style ride
to the house!!
I had an companion exchange (I
think that’s what its called in English at least) this week with Elder Beech,
lets just say I wasn’t too mature that day... try to imagine someone saying
that last name with a thick Latin accent jaja!!
Well I’m gonna be locked up
in the house for 4 days this week thanks to CARNAVAL so wish me luck of not
going crazy in the house! I will be writing next Wednesday just an FYI.
Hope you all enjoyed Single
Awareness Day on Tuesday!!
