Hola familia and friends! This week was rough. We had a trip to Quito for mission council and it was good. It took us out of our sector for most of the week so that was a bummer but it was alright. Minerva Calderon from my sector will be getting baptized on Saturday which is awesome. We are all excited for that. It has been cool to see her conversion. When I call I'll tell you guys the story of her mom.  You won't even believe it! Her mom would get baptized but her husband doesn't want to get married so that's a problem but it's a powerful family. Bryan Rodriguez who was a reference of a recent convert family is doing very well, Actually the family that gave us the reference has a son that isn't baptized and we watched the First Vision video with him and Bryan was like a member who was accompanying us.  He bore a super powerful testimony of the restoration and invited them to pray about it. It was nuts.  He is getting baptized on the 19th, but he's already to do visits with us right now haha. It was one of the most powerful moments of my mission. It was nuts. Good things are happening here, but there is a lot of opposition. Two of the elders got robbed in Coca this week and lost everything, so we had to sort that out.  The other elders have been super sick and it's just been a crazy week. Things are trying to come together, but it will be interesting to see how it comes out. We are working like crazy so that things come out good. We still aren't seeing a whole lot of progress in the branch.  We are close but we still lack a lot, and we have reached a point where we now can't do almost anything. We did activities. trainnings, visits, and services to help them get on track and they haven't made it yet. I don't know what is going to happen in the future.   I just hope things work out because we have given everything to this branch.  We've accomplished what has never been accomplished, but we haven't accomplished what we most want to yet. I live and die for this work and I live and die for hastening it in the best way possible.  It's been my goal since I was called in the Teacher's quorum through seminary and now in every zone as a missionary. If we pulled off this plan we'd move a mountain. It would be incredible. I hope we can. Until the day they take me out I'll be working for it. This week we have a Christmas dinner with `President so that should be fun. That's about all that's going on right now. I love you guys.  Talk to ya later.
