La Obra en Azogues
Hola mis amigos. Quick email this week.{
Life in Azogues has been going good. We are fighting the cold and rain and climbing mountain, and seeing MIRACLES while doing it. We´ve been contacting like crazy trying to get new people to teach and strengthening the little ward that´s here.
We are teaching a mom and her daughter currently. They both came to church yesterday. The mom has been struggling with cancer for 7 years and was able to receive a special blessing by the Bishop. She was all smiles after and said that she felt very péaceful. I´m grateful for the restored Gospel and that we have God´s authority again here on Earth. The Priesthood allows us to receive so many blessings!!
I´m grateful to be a missionary here in Ecuador. I´ve seen many tender mercies of the Lord as I´ve participated in His work. The mission is frustrating at times, there have been times where i´ve felt pretty lonely. But then I remember that the Good Shepherd never abandons his sheep. Sometimes its teh sheep that abandon Him (Mosiah 14).

Transfers!
It`s been awhile lo siento. Quick updates.
President and Hermana Moreno finished up there 3 years here in the Ecuador Guayaquil South Mish. It was sad to see them go. They are true and faithful servants of the Lord and have helped the church grow here in Ecuador.
We met our new presidente, President Tingey and his wife last friday. It was a very cool experience. They are very humble and very excited to take on this new calling. I know they were called by God to lead the missionaries here in the mission. I felt the Spirit confirm this to me as they spoke.
I finished training mi hija Hermana Vilca in Machala. Our last Sunday, the youngest daughter from the family that we baptized bore her testimony about how the Gospel has blessed her family. I bawled like a baby. Later that night we had a family home evening with them and with their neighbors (that they invited and brought to church that day.....full pilas). It was super sad to say goodbye but I know they are in good hands. My companion and I saw miracles as we taught this family. They were abandoned by their extended family and left with nothing...only a dirty mattress. We prayed and fasted so that they could survive the trials that they were faced with. They showed faith and God worked His miracles. I love the Gospel.
I had transfers today, (wept again saying goodbye to mi hija, and she cried too so that means I was a pretty good mom). Now I`m back in the Sierra!! I`m opening up a sector outside of Cuenca with a missionary that recently left her training. I`m putting all my trust in the Lord on this one because we are starting with nada and i don`t know these calles jaja. We also don`t have blankets so I`ll be sleeping tonight with every single piece of clothing from my suitcase on jaja. Pray for us folks. But I`m super excited to be working here in the frio again, It`s always an adventure!
One of my scriptures favoritas this week: D&C 64:33-24 especially as I am faced with this new task!
33 Por tanto, no os acanséis de hacer lo bueno, porque estáis poniendo los cimientos de una gran obra. Y de las bcosas pequeñas proceden las grandes.
34 He aquí, el Señor arequiere el bcorazón y una mente bien dispuesta; y los de buena voluntad y los cobedientes comerán de la abundancia de la tierra de Sion en estos postreros días.

Act
Hola Amigos!
This week has been super duper goood! I turned 20, and now I`m officially una viejita!! We ate lots of torta and causa to celebrate! The best part of the day was when my English class (We teach English some nights in the church) sang me Happy Birthday in English, jajaja my little Ecuadorians are the best people on the planet.
My companion and I have been working hard to find people to teach. The thing is in South America, everyone wants to talk, but not a lot of people want to act. Getting people to go to church is super fun. Sunday mornings are running through the pueblo shouting vamos a la iglesia hermana!! bien reverente dia de reposo.
We also had zone conference this last week. We focused a lot on President Nelson`s talk from Priesthood conference about daily repentance. A lot of people look at repentance as a punishment. But it`s the adversary that wants to look at it that way. Really, it`s an opportunity for us to feel the love and power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives. It´s liberating`and helps us feel happiness. Sin only brings pain, Repentance always brings joy.
