week..9? I´m still confused!

okay this week was GREAT! we found this AMAZING investigator! well, actually, she found us! She came up to us and offered to pay us to teach her English cause we´re obviously american :) but we told her that we´re missionaries and that we could do it for free!  We visited her the next day and brought all of the folletos in Spanish and English and when we came back again she had read all of the pamphlets and had chosen for herself to talk about the Law of Chastity (she´s not married and has a child with her boy friend who lives with her and her family.) WE taught her that not obeying the law of chastity was depriving her of blessings. and not only her but her baby too! When we said that her eyes got all big and she said (in English) "So when i Don´t obey this commandment MY BABY can lose blessings and it´s all my fault?" Hna. Hamilton and i just shook our heads yes and then she GASPED! and was like "y Ahora?!" haha! She LOVES learning! we taught her in English which is a little weird for me and Hna. Hamilton! haha but we always makes sure she understands everything! haha :) She came to conference Sunday morning and loved that too! Next week she´s bringing her brother, dad, boyfriend and possibly an other friend! (yes she´s already giving us references!) haha :) We were teaching here was a "Redneck" was and we told her that it was kinda someone with out much education and she just goes "Like Honey Boo Boo?!" and hermana Hamilton and I had the BIGGEST face-palm-slash-oh-my-poor-country moment. PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF ECUADOR KNOW WHO HONEY BOO BOO IS!!

We also found another lady that has a lot of progress too! Her name is Patricia and we´re going to visit her right after this! I´m so excited cause for a while there we weren´t really finding anyone and now they´re poppin´up like daisies!! haha :) I´ve been praying SO hard to find some nuevos and for a while there i thought that i wasn´t getting listened too! but nope! He heard me :) It just wasn´t the time!!

OOOOHHHH General Conference. I LOVED IT!! I got to watch it in English with all the other Gringos in my Zone :) it was in a tiny little room on the tiny little computer monitor but it was still AMAZING! I took so many notes! I even made...wait for it...SCONES! and they were FLIPPIN DELICIOUS! so yes indeed...my conference was complete! :) everybody loved my scones too! So I´m pretty proud of myself!

So we were contacting this week and we knock this door and this lady answers and we start our shpeel and she just goes OFF about this history of her life and how she didn´t really want to have children but god made her get pregnant like the Virgin Mary and how much of an honor that was for her! and also that she could kill us right then and there cause she "has a lot of violence in her heart" but it´s god that controls her and tells her not to kill people! we were like "yup, well, bye!" haha The DL´s were accompanying us too! so they were like "Corre Hermanas!" basically just telling us to run away from her house! haha! She was insane...for sure!

The wedding sounds like it was alot of fun! I´m excited to here about how the reception goes!! SEND MY PICTURES!! haha :) 

we had a zone activity today which was really fun! I GOT TO WEAR PANTS IN PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST 4 MONTHS!! haha we just played some fútbol and then went to the mall and got some lunch...not a bad day. not bad at all :) I´ll send pictures. Hermana Hamilton and i were matching :)

MUCHO AMOR DEL MEJOR PAÍS EN EL MUNDO!
