Well, we had a pretty much boring week. Nothing too crazy happened. Just the normal contacts and lessons. But this week we kind of realized that we totally have another room in our apartment and we moved to that other room. I don't know why we haven't thought about that but our District leader told us to move and it's so much cooler than the room we were sleeping in. But that's all we moved, we basically just changed the room we sleep in. It just had a bigger window and let's more air in so its cooler than our last room. I dont get up in the morning with sweat and my blanket on the floor. So that has been a nice change.
This week I also had an intercambio or exchange with Elder Sayer. I stayed in Sedalana and my companion went with our District leader. Elder Sayer has a total of 3 weeks in Ecuador so that was a pretty fun time. It was kind of fun to see how he is adjusting in the mission and a little of the struggles and good times we both have had. The day went pretty well but as you can imagine a lot of the lessons were just ok since I don't have much time here and Elder Sayer is still working on his Spanish. In our last lesson of the night the sister we were teaching fell asleep during the lesson. She kept on drifting off meanwhile I was talking to her it was kind of funny but I felt bad since she says she gets up at 6:30 and goes to bed at 1:30. She still carves times out of her day just to meet with us.
Another funny story that happened this past week is that we were doing a street contact with Elder Sayer and meanwhile the contact a trasngender person came up to us and pointed at his house and said that we were welcomed anytime. Then after that some teenagers in a moto passed by just laughing at us. It was kind of a crazy contact but Elder Sayer and I just laughed about it. It was pretty funny.
Well the one sister that has a fecha to be baptized didn't come to church this past week so I think we have to move her date further back. That has been kind of frustrating since we haven't really been able to meet with her and can't contact her much. One day this past week everything fell through and we didn't find anyone and of course the last lesson we had was a video call with our friend Britany or the sister with the fecha. I asked Heavnely Father in my heart that if this lesson could just go through and when we called the sister she answered almost immediately. I felt the love of my Heavenly Father so strongly and know that he listens to our prayers.
Anyways that's pretty much all for this past week.
Miss all you guys,
Elder Roper
