Feb 21 2014

Hey people,
This week was really awesome! Semana Santa made it kind of hard to have appointments but it wasnt terrible. During Semana Santa people walk around all day friday carrying a homemade cross and it is a lot more spiritual than Easter in the states, but the food is nasty. On sunday Ecuador had a special broadcast from Elder Scott, Holland, and Nash. Elder Scott and Nash speak perfect spanish and Elder Holland even gave parts of his in spanish, it was so awesome. Then on sunday night we found a new family who didnt give a tradition excuse when we invited them to baptism. The husband said he has attended a lot of churches but has always felt like a ''lost sheep'', oh man it made me so happy! Then we got change calls and both Elder Hall and I are staying here and I am pretty excited. I am also the new DL and thats great news because that means I get a cell phone and dont have to pay for the over-priced cabina pay phones. Then this morning in the terminal I ran into one of my favorite people on the face of the earth, Elder Villca! He is still such a crazy fun guy and I loved talking to him. He told me about a few people that got baptized back in Vista Hermosa that I really wasnt expecting would ever get baptized, one of the happiest moments of my mission. Lots of good stuff has happened in the last couple days and I am looking foward to this next change.
It was a really good week, probably the best part was keeping track more than I have in the past of what The Savior would have been doing on that particular day. It helped me a lot on thursday and friday because when I thought I was suffering from fallen appointments or free agency I would think of how much more He would have been suffering in that moment, and suddenly my life didnt seem so hard. Thanks for everything everyone! You are all great!
Familia,
Dad- There was no scarecrow burning here but that would have been interesting
Mom- I had a lot of fun with that easter bunny tradition, but I didnt know that he was a girl
Audrey- How has your track season been?
Ian- What is the next avengers movie coming out? Number 2?
Alicia- Sounds like you had an awesome birthday
Isaac- What do you mean sort of?
I miss you all and pray for you everyday.
¡Yo sé que el evangelio es verdadero!
Elder Durrant
