Dear Mom and Dad and Family,
Hey, thanks for all of the news, as usual. It sounds like everything is still carrying on well. That’s always good to hear. Lots of partying in Lagoon and Yellowstone, and some funny stories in the process. Chevere. That’s life for ya, right? Matt leaving, who woulda thought it. Furt, too. Both good. Way, way, way cool about the baptism. I’m never gonna miss a single one. How many people went? Did the members support? Ha,ha, my mind has completely flipped here. Before, if there were only 2 people in a baptism, so what? Now, after having some, chuta, it helps so much. So much more morale in the ward and in our companionship. So go, when the other two get baptized, too. So cool. What else? Oh, you can’t give away Bandit! That would just suck. But if you gotta, yeah, pues. I dunno. I’m just here teaching the Gospel to Catholics and Testiguos(J witness´) in Spanish, and livin it up. But thanks for the updates. Sounds fun.
With me. Well, lets see. Yeah, we had 3 baptisms on Saturday. Awesome. A family whose mom got baptized forever ago. First day here. We´re contacting, knock her door, and she comes out. We do the whole thing, as usual. She tells us she’s a member, and like 4 days before, the oldest daughter said, "I think we need to go to a church." And she says "Well, lets go to my old one. It’s cool and helps a lot." She told us she thought it was an answer to her prayer. Heck yes, it was. Way cool. So the three little ones got baptized. And we have 3 more little kids for this Saturday, and the mom really soon. Shes gotta get married, but the husband is willing. So golden. I love this area. The people are so humble and willing to listen. I just hope it keeps going. Would really help me remember the reason I’m here. We´ll see. I’ll try to send some pics if the computer permits. It’s way slow.
What else happened? Nothin, really. Can’t remember anything funny or cool. Just teaching and having a good ol time. My comp, yeah, is a little lazy, but little by little. I just gotta push him. It’s hard, honestly, but I’m trying. I did eat some cake, by the way. 8 freakin bucks. And it sucked a little. But hey, I’m in Ecuador. Maybe only one more in my whole life I’ll get to have here.
Well, that’s about it. Nothing else. I’ll try to remember what has happened, but I don’t think anything. I’m gonna open a new ward in like 2 weeks, and the chapel that they’re gonna build will be the biggest in all of Quito, and when the authorities come to talk with people, they’re gonna do it there. They say a Colosium type thing. That would be awesome. Well, that’s all. I love you guys and miss you a lot. Have a good week.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
