Quito ama la vida

Ohhh yeah the first week back to QUITO! My area is one big hill, well all of Quito is 2 big hills and climbing stairs is how we work around here. The better  of the investigators always seem to live further and further up the stairs. I love the area, there are TONS of prepared people. I have already seen miracles in this Area. A family that I found and knew in Ambato, lived in Quito, this week I was thinking about them and remembered they told me they lived near the Ataualpa Mall and bam, where do we live, in front of the Mall. We called them and are going to visit them tonight. I am super happy to be here. This week we had two service activites, a baby shower and a fireside for 50 years of the church in Ecuador. 

This I have been pondering General Conference. The prophet really did not speak much but pondering the short words that he said, we as members of the church need to Keep the Comandments. Being here on this earth, is a gift, an oportunity to progress and to become like christ. All our father asks is that we love him and keep is comandments. I can not stress the importance of this, I have seen families, homes and marrigaes destroyed just from breaking one small comandment. If there is a commandment that we are not completely, now is the time, today is the day to repent and become better. Weither it be getting to church earlier to take the sacrament, being more honest or simply love our neighbor as ourself. We need to keep the commandments. 

The good news is I have a great view of cotopaxi the volcano from my roof, it continues to pop every day, but the great news is if it explodes completely I will have a great view! Well I hope everyone has a great week. Say your prayers.

With Love
