Buenos Dias!

Hey everyone! How is everyone doing?? I hope all is well! Everything is going good down here, it has been a big week, sort of. On Thursday we flew to Guayaquil which is where the temple is and did bapstims there. It was so great I absolutely loved it. Then we went to a mall to eat lunch and it felt like I was in America again. It was really nice haha. After that we went to a Iguana park with hundreds of Iguanas just roming everywhere! It was so weird, we could touch them and pick them up and everything. I need to put more pictures on facebook. I have a ton to upload. Yeah anyway, the park was way fun, we had a huge crowd watching us because we were taking pictures of us kissing the Iguanas. I guess they thought that was kind of weird lol which it probably is. But it was fun. After that we walked up to a lighthouse which was absolutely amazing!!! Gosh... I cant even describe how amazing it was. I loved it! The weather there was insane. Its along the coastline so it is SOOOOO humid. I could barely breath. By the time we were done for the day I was dripping, yes DRENTCHED in sweat. But it was worth it. We flew home that very day too. It was a great experience. I also got to take some of the kids to a museum this week and they loved that. They never get to go anywhere, its so sad. Lets see... this week I also found out that Im HML mom, which is the mom over the orphanage of the girl from the ages of about 6 to 18. They are so much fun! Im really excited about it because I still get to go to the other sites too since we only go to HML on Monday and Thursday nights. Im really excited to be the mom there. I may need some fun ideas to do with them you young women leaders!! Let me know if you have any ideas!! Im also the activity director for the girls that I live with and that should be really fun as well!! Ive nearly been here a month! I can hardly believe it time goes by so fast here when youre so into the work. I got to go to church today and I was very glad for that. I felt the spirit really strong there. Its so weird going to a church with maybe 50 people there, no piano player, and 2 priesthood holders passing the sacrament. Guys, I am so grateful for what I have. I am so blessed. I do love the gospel so much. Not much else is happening... uuuumm... this week I get to go to Canopy which is a zipline in the jungle and Im SO stoked about that. Then the next week the old girls will be leaving and we get new girls that come! So weird... Every night down here is literally an adventure. Something crazy always happens I swear. Not bad things just adventurous stuff that would never happen if I were at home. I love it!! Its so much fun. I am literally falling in love with the kids here. Especially the handicap kids. I dont know why but I absolutely love them to death! They have such an amazing spirit about them... I just love it. Every day is a challenge but every minute is worth it. Its getting easier though. It was rough there for awhile but I just cant picture my life any different. I hope all is well at home. You guys are amazing and I love you so much. Remember how blessed you truly are... because its so true. Until next time! Dont forget to look at my pictures on facebook!!!
