President did this wonderful example, the whole conferance was just an awesome learning experiance. Usually the missionaries complain that no one fellowships the investigators and stuff, when they visit church... but during the course of the zone conferance, the tables were about to turn on us. We started the conferance and everything was great, then I noticed that there were three kids there, about 18 to 19 years old. I just figured that they were visiting because they were dressed in suits, I figured that they were preparing for the mission. We continued our conferance, and during the break, I decided to say hi to those kids, and get to know them a bit. After the break, President Ridd gave his discourse. He called those three kids up to the stand. Then President asked us what there names were... I had totally forgotten. Then he asked us if we knew a little bit about them... I didn´t think to ask them what their interestes were. Then President Ridd asked the kids, of all of the missionaries present, how many of them had given them a warm welcome... they said about 6. There were 44 missionaries present. I thought that was an amazing lesson.
Other than that nothing much is going on, except the work. Pretty soon we should have a few baptisms, hopefully they come through.
Thank you so much for the packages, and for the hawaiian salt (I wanted the one that does work on Ecuadorians:)... little by little we are going to plan it out so that, right before I go, well have the party! Also before I go im going to make a suit, but Ill head out to Guayaquil in about 3 weeks, to get my measurements, and material. So dont send me the money before then, because Ill probably just spend it. Im glad that you liked the letter, I hope that it helps them. I love you very much mom, and Ill talk to you later!
