Family Complete

This week we had transfers! I am still here in Santa Rosa North but I have a new companion, Elder Roa. He is from the Dominican Republic and has 18 months in the mission. The big highlight from this week was that we had the baptism of Mayner! That completes the family we`ve been teaching here since I got here (They are all members now!) We have set a goal with them to go to the temple all together the 14th of June which they are now saving up for, as the trip is 4 hours to Guayaquil. They are excited to go and are excited to be able to be sealed as a family in a year! I´m super grateful that I can be here and to be a part of their conversion as an awesome family like them is like the Holy Grail of missionary work.

   In other news, I found a Subway today in Ecuador! I didn`t buy from it though as we cant eat the raw vegetables here in Ecuador (lettuce, tomato, etc) which is necessary for a good subway sandwhich. Plus if I did buy it, a footlong without a drink or anything was $9.25! I guess I`m getting really used to Ecuador prices (like $2.50 for a good lunch).

   The investigators we are mostly teaching right now are a 17 year old teenager who will be baptized soon and a 30 year old guy who works in gold mines. 

  Loving the missionary work! It`s awesome to be here and see the progress of the people I get to teach. I sent a photo of this weeks baptism in another email!

Love,

Elder Pollock
