Happy Labor Day everyone, (that is, in the states it's labor day)
We had a really crazy week with a lot of different things and events that took place. This email shall describe some.
First is we had our First Verifications for my companion Elder Leighner (more to make sure that I'm teaching what I should as a trainer). It went really well. There were some things that I need to work on better, but Elder Leighner is doing great. His Spanish is just growing and growing everyday. We did, however, have to travel to Quito for these verifications. Another. Travel. But, it was nice getting to stay in the secretaries' house. Funny thing is, the two secretaries we stayed with are in my group! We had a blast with them. They also just so happened to have tennis raquets in their house. Yes, I did play around for a long bit.
We also had an interesting experience. This last weekend was the temple trip for our ward. They ended up coming back here Sunday at three in the morning. What does that mean? We had to start church super late because a) lack of members, b) lack of bishopbric. It was interesting as five minutes till church and only ten members were seated and ready. I can understand why everyone showed up a little later.
This week, one of our people with a baptismal date showed up to his interview and found he didn't remember something and wanted to delay his date. It was actually pretty hard for us. He was progressing really well and had gotten over his addiction to smoking. However, as we were focused on that, we didn't realize that he didn't understand a core doctrine within the church. I do, however, admire him for admitting to that and taking the initiative to say something so that he could truly be ready for his baptism. It was sad, but a good moment. I know that we need to do the same. If we are unworthy for something, let us fix it so as to feel the healing power of the Atonemtent in our lives.
I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!
