Well what a couple of weeks...
Last week was a really good week on top of General Conference, I think it was the best General Conference that I have heard almost every single talk was a banger!
Also last week our friend Marcos was able to be baptized, he got there early while we were still filling the pila bautismal and so he was ready to be baptized. This week at church he was presented to the ward and then given the aaronic priesthood! It was pretty cool to be there in Elders quorum to see him recieve the priesthood.
Sadly enough Kevin, who was supposed to be baptized this week, wasn't able to be baptized since he started working and his work schedule is pretty rough. He works every single day with a set time to go into work, but without a time to leave. The work hours here in Ecuador are pretty rough.
President Taylor pulled up as a surprise to our sacrament meeting and gratefully we were able to have some amigos come to church! We actually have this miracle family that we found a couple weeks ago that pulled up. We were trying to visit one of our converts and they werent there, all of a sudden a little 7 year old kid comes running up and tells us to come and visit his family. Well we go across the street and we ask if anyone was there, and out comes a mom and tells us to come in. We go in and we see the dad sat up on the bed and says that he's a member but is about 10 or 15 years inactive, and says that he wants to get back to the church.
Safe to say Elder Womack and I were mind blown to hear that. We ended up giving the dad, Wilter a health blessing and they came to church this week! They have a daughter that is 13 years old that will also be baptized this next week too!
It was a pretty crazy week, but a good one!
Me alegra escuchar que los Utes ganaron
Miss all you guys
