Baptism & Quesadillas

Well, Happy New Year. It has been a good week, we have worked hard and had a few new folks at church. We are going to have a family home evening with them and another member family tonight. The investigators are the Quelal family and the members are the Córdova family. There is a member from our ward who leaves tomorrow to go to the MTC in Peru, then he will probably serve for a bit here in Quito until he can get his visa to go to Mexico. He is serving in the north of Mexico City.

 

HEY! I found the coordinates for the finca (farm) I want! I was on the church website looking for a map to print off of my sector and thought, "why don't I look for that farm..." and I found it (: now I just need to find a way to contact the lady who owns it, Sister Escobar. Here are the coordinates for the entrance: -.291012 lat, -78.678509 long, and then you walk down a big hill to get to the flattened spot with the house on it -.290159 lat and -78.680832 long. Then down a little farther is the volcanic rock perfect for setting up a few ropes on -.292858 Lat, -78.684580 Long. We'll see. .

 

Elder Christensen and I are very different people, but we get along. He is pretty antsy whenever we are running just a tiny behind, and sadly, it has never, nor will ever bother me very much...so there is a little bit of clash there. He has been teaching me a little bit about computer systems and those kinds of things. 

This Saturday we are finally going to have Juliana's baptism! at 10:00 am, you're all invited. She had an interview with President Ghent, and while she was in the office talking with him, we were eating Quesadillas that Sister Ghent made (with beans and cheese and salsa and guacamole) and all of a sudden, Sebastian, her 2 year old, tapped my leg, and I look down to see that he had just peed...all down his leg and onto President's rug. I was very disappointed, but sister Ghent was really understanding and we got it all cleaned up. Oh, and Sister Ghent says thanks for the caramels you made, she had made some caramel apples and we ate those with the 'dillas. 

I will send my goals later in the afternoon, I forgot to bring them from the house, along with some pictures. On Wednesday we have interviews with President Ghent and he wants us to print out our goals for the year and we are going to review them with him in the interview.

 

Have a good week. 

Love,

Elder Blackwelder
