We went to Panecillo again for a distrit actividad. As distirct leader I had to plan it and make a purpose out of it. I shared the dedicatory prayer that Elder Spencer W. Kimball offered in 1965 on the same hill of Panecillo. It was very spiritual and cool seeing a lot of the things that Elder Kimball said in the prayer are being fullfilled here in Ecuador. The work has grown a ton here in Ecuador, but there´s still so much to do. There are many people that have never heard the Gospel and that´s what animates so much is to be able to bring the Gospel into the lives of so many people. It doesn´t matter how hard you "think" the mission is. There´s always someone in every sector that needs your help specifically. You just have to be patient have faith in Jesucristo and work diligently to find those people.
Well this week our investigators weren´t able to asist church. We´re going to have to drop the majority of them this week. We need to spend more time looking for those who are prepared. We´re still going to be be working with M though. We gave him a fecha for the 15 of Noviembre and he has a lot of desire to progress.
We had zone conferences this week with Presidente Christsensen. It was very spiritual and uplifiting. He´s really trying to change the vision of the mision. We need to dedicate 50% of our time to investigators and the other 50% percent to the less actives. There are a lot of less acitves in Ecuador and the wards are struggling because of it. Every soul is valuable to the sight of God, so we need to help as many as we can enter in the fold and as many possible to come back.
We also had the stake conference yesterday. Presidente Christsensen and his wife spoke as well as the Presidente and his wife of the Guayaquil Temple came all the way here to speak. It was very special. They were trying to stream it to the other chapels in the stake but there were technical difficulties so a ton ended up coming into our chapel and it was super full. haha
Well that´s all for this week. I hope you all have a great week! Stay safe and I can´t wait to hear from you all next week!!
