February 22, 2016 Week 18 Riobamba

HEY MOM whats up? well this week was interesting. I will try and recap what we did this week. So last monday just normal stuff not much there and then on Tuesday we....Mom I cant really remember what happened too much. Today was so busy. Well I know that we taught a lot of people and visited some members. 

Elder Anderson had to pack all his stuff. Also I got some more shoes and tried to fix them up with something called African cement. I patched up some shoes with that and maybe will wear the other ones and wear them out really fast. I am trying to find some inserts for my shoes but havent had any luck yet. It might help if I actually look though.....Well I am kinda lazy.

I got my new companion today and his name is Elder Pesantes and he is from Guyaquil. He is cool and wants to work super hard so I am really excited for that. I am ready to get some stuff done and baptize some more people. He seems really ready for that too. He only has 2 more changes of his mission left. I also found out that this change is only going to be five weeks instead of 6 because the mtc has change how long people are in there for. So I go home 7 days earlier now hahahaha. Not like I am counting down anything. I enjoy it here even though it is hard every day. We are going to be working harder than ever before this change. I think my new companion wants to work super hard because he goes home soon. I cant wait for that.  

no packages yet, my shoes I might just get repaired or something. The guy who was in the hospital is now walking everywhere and is fine. I do see my converts every week in church. The familia Gomez is still awesome. I see everyone alot and also the familia Maita still makes us lunch and it is nice. I am feeling a lot better too 

Also it is still super hot here and I dont like it. But that is all of Ecuador.  I miss you guys, I had a list of things I needed and other questions but of course I forgot it again. I dont know how I keep doing that. I am still losing weight somehow. I am down to 225 now, I think I was 250 or larger in the MTC....It must have been those donuts. Oh well I am walking alot now. Also Elder Schaper went home so he gave me about 7 shirts that are still in great condition so I am going to wear the crap out of those. I am still going to wear my others but I still have about 19 months to go so I gotta pace myself mom. I miss you guys and Love you guys, ask me some more questions because I forgot what we did this week. Mostly cleaned up a little and packed some stuff up. LOVE YOU,
