Long Trips And Large Statues


Hey everyone! 

I promise to write a bit more this week!  Just a bit...

So this week we challenged two more people to baptism!  Well, we actually do that in every single visit, but we had two that accepted dates!  Their names are Ximena Gavilanez and Narcissa Caspi.  We are getting them ready for the 11th and the 18th.  We also found an older couple who are inactive evangelicals!  They´re actually really receptive, and I was really surprised.  Turns out their daughter suffers from depression and they are looking for a bit more peace in their lives.  Good thing that we have just the right solution for them!  They´re even coming to church this next week!

We had our zone conference and our district conference this weekend!  So we spent 3 days in Riobamba.  Actually, we travelled back to Guaranda on Friday night, and went back Saturday for the district conference.  A lot of wonderful talks, and a lot of motivation.  Our district is actually pretty big!  We all got interviewed by President Sloan, though that was kind of sad because they will probably be our last interviews ever.  He´s going back home in June, and we have to be ready to receive our new mission president.  

Right now we just got back from Santa Fe, where there is a big statue of Christ.  It was quite the hike getting up there, but I still enjoyed it.  Now we have to get our hair cut because we´re going to Quito this Thursday!  Walter F. Gonzalez from the presidency of the seventy is going to talk to us.  We´re all excited and a bit disappointed at the same time.  Excited because one of the seventy is going to talk to us!  A bit disappointed because we thought that Elder Scott was going to come.  But still, it will be a great experience.

Well, I hope everyone has a great week, and that all the activities go well.  Is it summer already?  Well enjoy it!  I can hardly tell the difference because we really don´t have seasons here!

Love,

Elder Wallace
