Hey Everyone! Sorry I am writing so late. It has been a crazy crazy Pday here in Quito. Yesterday I came with Hna Jaramillo because she is going home tomorrow. I am so sad. She has been the best companion for me. Seriously she is wonderful. We have become best friends. She hopes that she can attend BYU after the mish. I hope that one day all of you can meet her. But yes I have met my new companion. Her name is Hermana Gonzalez. She is from eruigue and has been in the Mission for the same amount of time as me. She will be the senor companion. I will still be serving in Baños. We will be staying the night here in Baños then tomorrow early in the morning we will go to Baños. All this week has be really emotional because we have been dreading tuesday. We had many wonderful experiences with our investigators and the members. One day we were walking down the road and Hna Jaramillo looks down at her shoes and finds 5 dollars. Of course she picked it up and shouted in joy. Later we had a FHE with a very awesome family in the rama. We made cookies and watched the lava sput out of the top of the volcano. We could only see a little bit because there is a mountain sheilding the town of Baños. Also the Volcano is pretty far away. But there was one point in our time with them that the hno of the family took Hna Jaramillo aside and asked very humbly and quiet if he could barrow 5 dollars for food for the next day. Hna Jaramillo said yes of course. After Hna Jaramillo and I couldnt help but smile. I know that our heavenly father is aware of each of our needs. I know that if we need help he will provide it in some way. Just like the 5 dollars that Hna Jaramillo found in the street that was destanted for this family. I also know that the lord never gives us things that we cant handle. This change in the mission has been pretty hard. But I know that I have been given divine help in speaking spanish so that I can inform and help my new companion adjust to banos. Its not perfect but lets just say I feel blessed.
Also I recieved christmas ordaments from so many of you. Thank you so much. I loved each and everyone. Also I have recieved one package from lara just to let you guys know. Thank you. I cant wait until we can talk this christmas. We WILL be able to skype. So I AM EXCITED. I love hearing from each and everyone of you. It sounds like mom and dad had a really quick trip up to Idaho. I wish I could have been there to see spencers concert. I love BYUI. I am so glad that he has enjoyed it so much. But Ive g2g love you all! XoOxoOxXOXO
