Hi everyone! it has been anther wonderful rainy week in ibarra. It is beautiful here with lots of mosquitos it has been so fun hearing about all of you back home. i am so happy that ria and jake made it up to sj also that lara and todd will be up there before we now it. Also about kirsty and josh yo guys are going to have a beautiful girl.
Well lets see what has happened this eek. it has been pretty normal but i had another karen moment haha first off mom i love love love those skirts that you sent me they are so cute. i feel like a new women ha you are probably wondering what thsoe skirts have to do wiht my story. Well one rainy day we were riding in a bus. The buses here are kind of crazy. They really dont have a litmit to how many people can be on board. When you need to get off its like jumping over hurdles and juggling basketballs at the same time. You yell out GRACIAS. THe driver comes to a fast halt and you jump off. When you jump off you have two options. you can jump on to the road or to the side walk ledge. Usually i jump to the side walk because it is much easier. Well i was wearing one of those cute new skirts and i jumpped to the side walk like i always do but for some reason this time my legs didnt have the leaping span like before with my skirts hahah so i fell very dramatically but dont worry I didn't hurt anything. I have just learned to laugh at these moments because we have so mnay of them here on the mission.
Anyway the mission work is amazing and hard but i love it. We have found some new people that are pretty awesome. this saturday we have a baptism planned for our investigator named Oscar.
sorry i have ran out of time to write. I lvoe you all so much! hna WIlhelm

The weather here is like it is in St. Johns around the 24th of July. Just simple beautiful. We get some sun and a nice cool breeze and a little rain everyday. This week I hit my 9th month mark now. I guess it is all down hill from now. This week we got to see our investigator, George, get baptized. It was pretty awesome. This boy is 18 years old and already wants to go on the mish. This week we have worked pretty hard trying to find people. Its my favorite when we come home from working all day and just sleep like a rock. Mission sleep is wonderful. Some time the mission can be hard, but I feel divine help every day.
Well sorry this is going to be super short. I love you all so much! Chao!

Hi my dear family!
Man has it been a pretty crazy pday. I went to Quito with hna Gonzalez yesterday she ended her mission today. I got to go with her because we had investigator who needed an interview with president. So Yes we did have changes. I am super sad to see hna Gonzalez go but also am happy for her. She was an awesome missionary and I learned so many things from her. I have turned into kind of a cry baby when it comes to companions ending their missions. I always have to see my best friends go. Well anyways I got a new companion named hna Cubilla from Paraguay. She is pretty awesome. She has been out in the field for two months now. I think we will get along pretty well:)
Oh, last Saturday we got to see the Guevara Family get baptised. They are so awesome. I love this family. Maybe if I have time I will send some photos. Well I love you all so much. I know this church is true.

Hola Mi Querida Familia!
It was so wonderful to hear from so many of you. We had a great week here on the mission. Conference is always so inspiting. I found something that could apply to my life in almost every talk. I had read a whole bunch of articals about preparing for conference and found much counsil about praying and mediating for answers before we listen. I found that this really helped and I feel like I received alot of counsil and light in my life. I know that we are spoken to through the leaders of the church to help us along in this life. One thing that I saw and felt was the love that our leaders and the prophet have for each and everyone of us. Their love just makes me want to become a better person. I just want to make chocolate chip cookies and write thank you notes for everyone in my life:)
I feel so blessed to be in this life and this situation. The gospel brings me so much confort. We see so much evil and sadness in the world today. I think gosh if that homeless man selling brooms on the side of the road knew and excepted the gospel, he would find so much happiness. I know our Savior and Redeemer lives. That he created the way for us to follow. I know that if we are active in the church and we live the gospel we will come to know happiness. I know that as we come to know Christ our savior and the atonement we will live happy forever. We will develop this Christ like love for others and desire their eternal happiness too.
On another note. I saw Spencer in GC. It was so cool. We made an english room in the church for all of us gringos.oak all of the elders got to see Spencer too. Hna Gonzalez said she saw him too. I dont know how because I wasn't there with her to show her. haha. She said the spirit just testified that it was him. She even explained where he was and what he looked like. Her descripsion sounded right. haha. It is funny after awhile i think companions can start to read each others minds. We are coming to the end of another change and hna Gonzalez is ending her mission. She is such a wonderful person and missionary. I am happy for her accomplishment but it will be sad to see her go. When i go home i want to have an Ecuador party and have all of my latina companions come visit:)Well any ways the Guevara family are all pretty dang excited for their baptism. This week the they came to 2 sessions. I guess I will tell you guys how it goes. Well Ive got to go.
Love you all!
