They don´t really celebrate halloween here, but we have gotten some way good food this week anyway so I´ll call it good haha. Speaking of food, we just got done eating one of our favorite easy lunches or night time snacks, hotdogs with mayonese (forgive me if I spelled that wrong, forgetting english), crushed up doritos and barbeque sauce. Not exactly healthy, but it´s tasty and fast!
This week we had the baptism of Scarleth! She is the daughter of Monica, another investigator we are teaching. They attended church and listened to the missionaries in a city about 2 hours way more than 10 years ago. We found them asking directions for the hosue of Juliana when she came to church (who was baptized 2 weeks ago). They didn´t know where Juliana lived, but we invited them to church and they accepted. The next day we went by and taught a lesson, invited them to be baptized and they accepted. Scarleth came down pretty sick a few days before the baptism, but she got better in time for it and it was a great experience! My companion and I got a small cake and we went to the house of Monica with the bishop and a few members. They served us some Colada Morada which is a mix of a bunch of different fruits boiled together into a juice. Way good!
Their family loves the church and I´m happy to teach people like them. Monica and Scarlet come to church with the grandkids of Monica who she takes care of, Justin (7)and Melissa(4). Monica told us that Justin was walking the house the other day with a book of mormon pretending to be a missionary which was pretty funny.
On sunday the mamita gave us homemade cream of mushroom and asparagus soup. It was the best soup I´ve had in Ecuador so far, as I love cream of mushroom soup!
That´s about all the news I have for this week. I love being a missionary and am grateful to preach the gospel. I hope all have an awesome week!
