This week has been interesting and crazy. First of all, after I got done telling you that I haven't gotten sick and that I don't plan on doing anything of the kind, I woke up on Tuesday morning with a fever. On Wednesday we had interviews and a video presentation with President Riggins. During the movie I was able to tell Hermana Riggins that my Fever had reached 102.74, she told me to drink pedialyte, water, Tylenol, go home and get some rest. I agreed.
The movie however was really good. Here in Ecuador, all the missionaries heard rumors that there was a movie in the United States called "Meet the Mormons" but it was very sadly out of our reach until this last week when President Riggins got the new Spanish Dubbed version for us to see. He said that pretty soon all of Ecuador will have it. If you guys haven't seen it yet, shame on you. I was forced to wait.
Besides getting sick and recovering we had a pretty weird week:
First - we saw a guy with a Potato Sack with a dog sicking its head out of the side confirming that The Dog-napper is real.
Second - we got to see what happens when too many fat pigeons sit on the powerline and the top line sags down to touch the bottom line. There were pretty colors and lots of toasty scared pigeons.
Third - I got to see how Ecuador can REALLY rain. Luckily I got to see that from inside the house. sitting on our balcony felt link sitting under a powerful waterfall and I'm pretty sure an umbrella would fold itself.
Apart from all that, Gabriela Maldonado got baptized on Saturday night:
I'll probably continue with the story of all of that next week if I can. The truth is that the story is probably personal to her and I don't know if I ought to be sharing it until I get back... I don't know.
I'm just going to say that this girl spent years listening to missionaries. even though her whole family was baptized she didn't want to get in the water until some personal things were taken care of and that she had an answer for herself the the Book of Mormon is the word of God.
Long story short, she got her answer. And she's amazing.
We finished the Saturday night with Tres Litros de Cola y Torta con una cena.
Victory.
