Hola famlia! What's up? Well I'll start like this, in the mission, I've seen several guns and several knives, but they hadn't ever got me for money- until this Thursday. The first day in the mission for my new companion and we got robbed at gunpoint. In other words, the wait is over haha. They got me! This week was pretty good though. I spent the first 3 days of the week with my Zone leaaders and we ate pizza hut every night. that was pretty awesome. Then Thursday my new companion arrived from the CCM. His name is Elder Julio Andonaire. He is from Peru. He loves to cook, and he plays some pretty awesome instruments. This week we had a baptism. Marco German ugsha Imbaquingo was baptized and that completed his awesome conversion story. It was the coolest moment of my mission up to now. We are getting closer and closer with two more families. The work looks good, we are working hard, and I think we are going to have a lot of success pretty soon. I got surprised and was asked to confirm Marco as well. That was a surprise; I had no time to prepare or anything. It was good though. His family is pretty much my own haha. It was awesome. This week was pretty uneventful. This is all that really happened. I love the scritpure in Alma 29:9 "I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me, yea, and this is my glory, that I might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance, and this is my joy." I know this letter is short but I'd encourage everyone to strive to experience this joy. It's real and I love what I've been able to experience. I love you guys. Talk to you next week.
