POO-YO yep that’s how you say where I am...well
first things first, I went through a 10 month mission crisis this week. I
bought an umbrella. Never brought one before this week, I thought I was a
strong missionary get a little wet and just use the rain coat Mamma Merrill
sent me with. Got here in Puyo where it’s so humid and hot and rains, a rain
coat was out of the picture, so i decided it was time to just hide under trees
and get wet. Until this week......I was literally like wet bread walking into
lessons. Soooooo...I gave in and bought an umbrella. Why? is it such a problem?
The Jehovah witnesses that walk around, with umbrellas....officially a JW, and
crying inside
Well that was that story....we had
a baptism Saturday of Nadia and Kevin. Things went great and do not worry the
day of a baptism it was pouring rain so i had my handy dandy umbrella, but
still fell out of a taxi, and literally ran into a pole while talking to my companion
on the street. I AM LOSING MY MIND and the mission is destroying my body all at
the same time haha Well back to the baptism, I am so happy they got baptized,
baptisms are always the best days here on the mission. All the diligence,
prayers and love I have for the people is rewarding to see them in white.
And a miracle we found this
week, The familia Rodriguez, they live in a small pueblo called Vera Cruz about
35 minutes from our house. We went out there to visit some inactive members and
bam we found them. The dad has a son
from a different marriage that is on a mission in Bolivia.....yep on a
mission!!! The son grew up in a different part of Ecuador and they never joined
the church. The enitre family mom dad and three kids are going to get baptized
next month. I am so happy to be teaching them, and they have come to church
twice now. We are in week 5 of the change I cannot believe it, time is passing
so fast. I love love love Hermana Peralta she is one of my favorite companions,
we laugh all day long and work perfectly together in the middle of the Jungle.
Well that is about it for this
week, if that made any sense at all!!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL, say your prayers and
remember who you are.
Hermana Merrill
ps yep that bridge is how we get
from lesson to lesson everyday....beautiful
