Miracles are real.

Miracles are real.

 Let me explain, this week we went to the family Arias´s house on Thursday  it was a rainy rainy afternoon, only Paula was there waiting for us as usual. The family Arias Paula and Vladamire are a young couple she´s my age and he´s 21 they are SO ready to be baptized but they are not married. They would have had the money next month to be married and get baptized but somehow we were praying that there would be a way for the money to come before the transfer was over. So let me continue about Thursday afternoon, Paula told us that the night before they found exactly 80 dollars ( the exact amount needed to be married in Ecuador)  on their dresser behind there speakers. After we had left there house the night before. They asked their parents and his brother and no one knows how it got there or where it came from. Today they went to pay for the marriage and will be able to be baptized the 7th of February. This truly was a miracle from our father in heaven, not sure how or who or when but miracles exist. This couple and us have been praying with faith and acting in faith that somehow they would be able to come up with the money. This experience strengthened my testimony more than anything, which has ever happened in my life. We have a father in heaven that cares and loves each of us; he knows the needs of his children. Matt19:26, with god all things are possible.

Well that was the highlight of my week; the rest of the week was cold wet and of course filled with rice every afternoon about 2pm. But when it comes down to it the good moments always make up for the cold wet nights. I love it here. Other than that today we played eco volley all day, some Ecuador volleyball in this beautiful park, and had divisions this week with the Hermana leaders. 

Couple funny things that are happening down here, women are thinking it’s cute to cut their hair in mullets?! Why?!  Also I found myself yesterday with a skirt, shirt and jacket from lands’ end all in one outfit, FUMPY SISTER MISSIONARY moment ew. 

Well that’s about it for this week, thank you for all your prayers each day. I love each and every one of you, and think of you guys often. Have a great week, remember faith can move mountains, just act on it.

Para Siempre Dios Este con vos

con amor
