Ok WOW!
So this has been a crazy week of adjusting to Riobamba, and REALLY missing Ambato! But i am excited to get going here!
My companion is Hermana Costa:
{she is the furthest from me in this pic}
She was actually my sister training leader a few months ago and now we are companions! We get along really well and we are having fun! She is from Venezuela. I am really learning a lot from her and we have been seeing miracles this week! I have been feeling the spirit SO strongly in the lessons. He guides me, and i know what to say. It is truly amazing.
We have been finding a lot of new people to teach and i just am really loving it here! What more can i say?? jajaja being a missionary is the best, and serving in Ecuador is SUCH a blessing!
So in Riobamba there is a volcano really close. This one isnt active... it is called chimborazo and it is THE BIGGEST MOUNTAIN/THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!! I couldnt get a good picture this week but i have never seen anything so massive. Seriously i look at it i just know that if it explodes it will be the end of the world:
Also today, i saw a bee that was four times the size of a normal bee. They are everywhere here. Ok another thing that you should know about Riobamba. It is a city that was founded by the spaniards. I have never seen so many catholic churches in my whole entire life. They are beautiful and literally on every corner in the city:
When we get up higher into the mountains they are filled with catholic churches. It makes the setting nicer, but the work a whole lot harder! Another thing, the mountains are huge! Like i would say twice the size of Utah mountains. Maybe that is an exaggeration, but really they are giant!
The rama is great. We are a branch because the people here need to pay tithing and they need more priesthood leaders. So Hermana Costa and I have set goals to help the ward members, less actives, and investigators with this. I hope i can make a diference here!
I am just feeling ready to work and love my sector, and love the hermanas. This week we start divisions and we are in Quito today and tomorrow for a leaders conference. I think it might cost me a little at first to not be able to work in my sector every day of the week, but i know that i have been called for a reason. so i am just ready to do my best!
I love you all so much. I know the gospel is true. Life is happy!
