Hey mom,
Alright So this week was good and we did a lot but Christmas and New Years kind of put a little stop in our work.
The rest of the year is going to go great though because no more big holidays.
So we couldn't go outside on the 31st, and everybody was not outside on the 1st so everything for those two days
kind of stopped. I hate it, I hate just not being able to work for two days because then you lose some time but I still
have 2 years left so...I will be working hard this year though.
Anyways so we were super lazy on the 31st becuase nothing to do. (Plus I am still Kord so I wanted to be lazy of
course) so we did that and then everybody was hungover on the 1st and we couldn't find any appointments to do.
So I guess it is not our faults that that happened but oh well. And also on the 31st when we were on the roof there
was mannequins being burned everywhere and also there were so many fireworks. It was ridiculous and I loved it.
We are not supposed to stay up until midnight but it was Feliz Año Nuevo entonces of course we stayed up. We
went on the roof and watched all the fireworks go off. The whole entire cuidad lit up with fireworks and it was crazy.
They had so many fireworks and you could see 360 degrees all around you. So that was really awesome watching
everything explode and burn. The people here go really insane and I don't think it is illegal because every single
person in the cuidad does it. They also love to have their giant mannequin things and they push them over and beat
the crap out of them.
Anyways so that was New Years and it was fun but now it is 2016 and we are ready to keep working and moving. I
will probably get a latino companion next change and then I will learn a whole bunch of spanish. Anyways so
something crazy happened the other day. A couple of Elders got jumped the other day. These kids walked up to
them and asked them for money but they were like we don't have any. The kids stole their stuff, but the Elders went
to their appointment. After their appointment they saw the same kids with their backpack so they started to chase
after them and one Elder said that he was running as fast as he could, and they got their stuff back We are still trying
to find Elder Vs scriptures and his glasses but we don't know where they are right now.
Anyways so that is something crazy that happened this week.
We just had some appointments and some of our investigators showed up to church. We are reactivated some
people but I don't know how long they will last. We have had a few people fall into our hands that have attended
church a lot and want to be baptized so we are going to do that this week or next. We also have a girl from Italy
coming to visit her family and she has been investigating the Church in Italy and she is going to come here and I am
probably going to baptize her next week because her mom wants me to. Anyways so that is super cool and I like it.
There are some hard days and some easier ones.
It is mango season here and so we eat these mangos that you open on the top and just suck out all the juice. I love
the mangos and you can get like 8 for 1 dollar. We are going to be traveling to Quito tomorrow. We will be there until
wednesday night. I think. Then on Sunday we get our new companions. I wonder who I will get. This change has
gone by pretty quick. A lot faster than the Mtc that is for sure. The MTC felt like my entire mission.... It is a lot nicer
here in Ecuador. Ummm I dont really know what else has been happening mom.
Love you guys.
Love Elder Rogers
