4/4: 24: General Conference

THERE´S GOING TO BE A NEW TEMPLE IN ECUADOR!! Sunday morning the stake center was packed with people and President Monson announced 4 new temples and the first one was ECUADOR! It was one of the best moments of my mission to be sitting in the chapel with all these members and how everyone did a little shout of joy and to see their reactions,haha. Alex Bolanos came to the Sunday morning session and we were surprised to see that he was with his wife and 2 kids also! His wife never wants to listen to us and her dad´s a bishop but was never baptized and so we were shocked when she walked through the door. It was so sweet to see them sit together as a family!! Every talk in conference was so great, and it was cool to be able to understand it in Spanish! Of course there´s things here and there I can´t understand but it was such a relief to understand the majority. The person who translates the talks speaks so clearly, I wish everyone Latino spoke like that haha. 

          After the afternoon session on Sunday Alex had his baptism interview and passed! He´ll be baptized this Saturday. Keep him in your prayers! We´ve really come to love Alex and his funny personality haha. He always give us something to eat and yesterday he was just sitting in his truck eating chocolate and when we came up to him he had all of this chocolate and gave us a chocolate bar, haha. It was funnier in person. But he´s going to be a strong member, we just need to help him wear a white shirt and tie!

            Everything´s going good here, everyday at lunch I think I can´t eat more rice and them I somehow do. The next transfer is in 2 weeks (this transfer´s 8 weeks) so I´m going to enjoy Portoviejo while I can!!! Hope all is well and that everyone remembers what they heard in general conference! LOVE YOU CHAO!
