Hola my lovely family!
It has been a wonderful Pday. Hna Jaramillo and I had pizza today. So it has actually been really awesome. Along with a wonderful pday this week has been awesome. Really I have seen miracales and the power of God at work. This week we had the Romero family get married and bapitised! Seriously. On Tuesday Edison and Norma confessed that in fact they were not married. Hna Jaramillo and I were both stressing out all week over this because some how the Romero´s needed to get married before saturday because their baptism was this day. If they couldn´t get married we would have to push back their date. On top of all things Edison said he needed to file for another ID because he had lost it. This week we have fasted and prayed a ton. I know that our prayers have been answered. On thursday we invited a member, Hno Iglesias to come with us to the Romeros. During the lesson Hno Iglesias was like ¨you need to get married-I have a buddy who is over the civil marraiges in Baños.¨We were like sweet! And on top of that Edison found his ID. So straight from the lesson we went on a wild goose chase around Baños Ecuador. Norma, Edison, Hna Jaramillo, and I along with Hno Iglesias as our leader set out at 6 pm on this rainy thursday night with a goal to get a marriage done. We first walked to the Hno Iglesias buddies house. It turned out that he wasn´t there and that he was actually at the office...how convinent...So all 5 of us set out again. OUr eager leader Hno Iglesias was very energetic and walked super fast. Every two minutes or so he would yell back'Vamos Hermanas...Tenemos una matramonio.' Finally we make it to the office and Hno Iglesias fiend is their. He was super kind and said he would be glade to marry them that night. We just needed to find another witness. So Hna Jaramillo and I set out again in the rain to find another member. By the time we got all the paper work and witnesses ready it was about 8:30. It was such a fun and memerable experience because we were all soaking wet and Norma and Edison were super happy. Saturday the Romero Family and Miguel were baptised. On sunday it was such a relief to see each on of them recieve the HG and be confermed a member of the church. I know that we couldnt have got this done if we didn´t have the help of the lord. Seriously it seemed like satan was working really hard on our investigators. I know that this is the Lords work and I am so thankful to be apart of it. On another note the Branch held a basketball night and it turned out to be a blast. Hna Jaramillo and I couldn´t resist the temtation to play so we ended up playing full out in our sunday clothes.
Thank you everyone! I love you all. I am sooooo excited for Spencer. I was happy to hear that he will get to go home for thanksgiving and go through the temple. G2G XOXOXxooxOXoxOOxxXXOo
