 This week was awesome! We have been teaching that younger couple of which the husband came last week. They couldn´t come this week because of something they had to do for work this week in Guayaquil, but are very excited to come next week. They actually both talk English, so we are teaching some of the lesson in English as well haha. They are very receptive to the Gospel. We have been preaching some in the small town they live in 20 minutes away from the city of Pinneaples. There are some nice people there and we are seeing who can become future investigators.

   Janet also came with her sister to church again. Their family invited us over to eat at their house and were very hopsitable. They all still remembered me after a year and a half! haha. We are planning on doing service for one of the older siblings of the family this week; painting their house! Awesome! We are hoping to get more of the family to church, especially one of the older brothers and the Mom. 

  As for food... We found a pretty good hamburger place and have eaten there a couple times this week. We also bought pizza on Saturday which was way delicious. I made some no bake cookies which turned out way good. We are 4 gringos in the apartment so there is still no shortage of peanut butter after Christmas haha. 

   Apparently between the time I started the mission and now, a very strong LDS family moved from Guayaquil to a small town about an hour from Pinneaples which pertains to our branch (This one sector is GIGANTIC! Apart from the actual city of Pinneaples, it corresponds to a bunch of small towns where missionaries haven't been to much. Reminds me that there are still some corners of the world where the gospel is still being newly introduced!) We're going to go see how that small town is this week. 

   I'm loving being a missionary and still going strong! Happy to be here! I know this is the work of the Lord and the gospel blesses the lives of those that live it.

Love,

Elder Pollock
