Las Penas and Transfers
Today we went bowling with a ward missionary, Yimabel! She leaves in a couple weeks for columbia!
We went and climbed this hill that I don´t know the name of. It was 500 steps uphill and they told me it was only 400. But we went up it, and then we went up the lighthouse steps and took pictures and had fun in the park below! It basically is commemorative of the spaniards who came, and it was right before we left for Duran. Funny thing, we were right in our new sector, and we didn't even know it.

Found out Las Peñas is the place we went three weeks ago. The place we are preaching in is called Ribera, Duran Sur, Guayaquil. The people here are a bit more helpful to the missionaries, and we have hamakas on the roof so we can hang out while we plan our days in the nighttime. We also have lavadoras!!!! We don´t have to wash it manually!
The other day, we actually were able to finally find the family Gonzalez. They haven´t gone to church in 5 years. They didn't tell us the reason, just that they decided as a family to leave. We felt compelled to tell them that God was calling them back, that He needed them, and that it was essential for them as a family to return. The mom rejected us again. They weren't in church this sunday, but we´re going to keep going past them, checking up on them because we promised them we would and told them that God didn't want to abandon them.
Yup! I love the mission, it´s great, and it is nice to meet new people and help them come unto Christ. He´s really the only one who can help anyone.
