Hello my dear family!!
It has been a wonderful week here on the mish. We have seen many blessings. We found the Guevara Family just on Tuesday. They are so awesome they have already attended a FHE, Baptism service, AND church. They even excepted a baptismal date for the 7th of April. I am so excited for them. Seriously this is a huge blessing for us because when we first started here in Ibarra no one listened to us. The Guevara family consists of the mom-Rosa, Dad-Carlos, and their kids. Jeferson (15), German (13), Michelle (10), Kevin (8), and Henrey (5). They are just so wonderful and funny too. We were at the elders baptism service and Henry, their little boy was so funny. We were singing the first hymn and at the end of the song he just kept on holding the note and everyone heard him. His mom almost had a heart attack trying to get him to stop. Haha. Then at the end of the baptism Henry was walking out the door and he yelled HOLA VECINA (Hello Neighbor) haha. He is kind of crazy but is awesome. Rosa and Carlos are just so kind. They work together everyday for their income by washing cars. We were in a lesson wiht all of them and we found Jeferson and German practicing the baptism. They are pretty excited. I know that is one family prepared and is ready to hear the gospel. Well sorry I am out of time. I love you all! Hna Wilhelm

Hola my dear family! It has been another great week in Ibarra Ecuador. Sorry this will be kind of short and maybe you won't understand it hah. President Ghent made a new rule for all of the mission. Now we only have 30 minutes to write on the computer. It's ok. This isnt an excuse for you guys not to write haha. I can still print 5 minutes in the morning. Well as I was saying, it has been a pretty good week here. We got to see our investigator, Segundo Montalvo, get baptised. It turned out to be a really nice service. The baptism font in our church building is still broken so we jound the elders in their baptism. There ended up being 5 people getting baptised. We also had zone conferences in Otavalo with President Ghent. It was a nice meeting with lots of spirit. Then on Sunday, we had branch conference. President Ghent was there so he got to participate in Segundos confirmation. I am loving the mission still. It is so beautiful. I dont think i would trade this time for anything. I know that the church is true! Well love you all.

Hi family! It has been a good week and pday for me. Today we cleaned the house. The other week we made friends with our neighbor who has a washing machine. Today she offered to let us use it. So we washed our clothes faster than usual. Then she suprized us with lunch. Lets just say we have an awesome neighbor. We are working on getting her baptised:) Also today we were going to see what the zoo is like in ibarra but it was closed. We had to take a bit of a hike to get there then we found  it closed. Oh well it was a beautiful hike. The mission work this week has been pretty good too. We have seen many tender mercies of the lord also some miracles. yesterday we had a FHE with lolita and her sons. We brought members with us the perez family. They are super cool. They moved to ibarra when I got here. I guess they have a lot of experience with going out with missionaries. But they are so awesome. They made lolita feel a little bit more stronger about the church in a good way. Help from the members are everything. Sorry this will be a little short. I love you all!
