Replaced by girls and El Niño viene!

Hello!

Last week a seventy came to talk to our mission.  Elder Calderon from Quito Ecuador.  He's a really cool guy!  We learned a lot about diligence and obedience from him.  We had to go to Guayaquil to see him and I was reminded how much I flat out hate buses.  I HATE BUSES!

At the conference I met up with Hermana Romero -a sister missionary who's currently in my old sector in Guayaquil.  She told me how things are in my beloved Barrio Albonor and told me that one of my old investigators was about to get baptised.  That made me super happy!  I found that people I influenced are getting baptized even though I didn't get to finish the work. Things like that make a guy's day.

Buena Fe also has sister missionaries working there now.  It seems that every time I leave a sector they replace me with girls.  I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.  I don't think that will happen in Duran though.  We're serving in Arbolito, which is a part of Duran that Taxi drivers wont take you to because they're scared of it.  The members there say that they didn't know that sister missionaries even exist, I think that President doesn't send them there as a protective precaution, but, anything could happen.

Everyone here has been saying "El niño viene!" "ya viene el niño!"

"El niño"  Translates to be "the child" which is apparently a weather thing where it rains REALLY hard in rain season.  I just haven't been able to figure out why they call it El niño...  It sounds like a horror film if you ask me.

"The child is coming! the child is coming!     ...The child is here"

...I played Limbo back in my day.  GREAT GAME! 
I'm not 100% sure what to expect in the next few months, but everyone says I should buy boots while I can and get ready for lots and lots of rain. ...and maybe a Chucky style horror film in real life... HAPPY OCTOBER!

Yeah, I have to get out of the Cyber now.  I hope everything is all well back home, I love you all!

P.S.  Who's ready for general conference?
