No More Trips!

Buenas Tardes!

This week was pretty great! We had a conference in Quito with the entire mission! Walter F. Gonzalez spoke to us, and we learned a lot of great things. He told us that when we have a personal conversion, we feel joy; so will the people we teach, if we do it correctly. I would like to download some pictures, but we couldn´t bring our cameras! Not my fault this time! But I´ll tell you, Elder Gonzalez is a pretty funny guy. Great sense of humor. The trip made me tired though because we got stuck in traffic and didn´t get home until 2 a.m.!

This week we knocked on a lot of doors. We also got rejected a lot. But life goes on! We did a presentation in the center of Guaranda with two more companionships from Riobamba. So there were 8 of us all looking for new people. Our zone leaders told me a couple of nights before to think of a way to make the presentation really creative. So in district meeting we all put our heads together and thought about what catches the attention of the public. Then it came to us... TV screens and large speakers! So we took the TV from the chapel and borrowed a nice big sound system from the members. Then we burned a whole bunch of MormonAds onto a DVD, and there you have it! Tons of people came and listened to us! A couple of cops came to see what we were doing, so some of us went and took care of them. Elder Hakes has a picture of the two cops walking away, each toting their own Book of Mormon. It´s great! I´ll have to get that picture from him.

It´s great to hear that everyone is doing well! Aside from the hailstorm and the tomato-killer wind! Great pictures of the mini marathon! Nice to hear about Lake Powell. Thanks for trunking me out!!! (no, just kidding! We watched the best two years as a district today!) Let me know all about how it went! Talk to you all next week!

Love,

Elder Wallace
