Milagros en Milagro

Hey everyone! I love you all and thank you for all your prayers on my behalf! I'm praying for all of you, too, and I hope everything is well on your end! Basically, here in Milagro, we have been having AMAZING weeks, and we have had members walking with us almost every day, strengthening their testimonies and sharing the truth! Milagro means miracle in English, and we've basically been having miracles in Miracle! One day, it was SUPER hot, and the power went out at like, 5am. So, we were suffering in our personal and companionship studies and just in the house, because we live on the third floor, in the hottest apartment. So we studied and everything, and it was time to close with a prayer, and it was my turn to say it. So we got down on our knees, and I told Heavenly Father that it was very hot, and that we would like to have our fans working, and that we would also like to recharge our music boxes so we could listen to that as we finished getting ready for the day, if He saw it fit, please.

Forgetting English

A ver, qué hicimos ésta semana....Oh wait that's spanish. Hello all!!!! I'd like to thank you all for your prayers on my part and for all the people my companion and I teach and for my companion! Thank you everyone who writes me or sends me packages too, at: Casilla de Correo 09-04-160 Misión Ecuador Guayaquil Norte Guayaquil Ecuador But don't use fedex or dhl because that doesn't work if you do this. Thank you! This week, we had the baptism of Vanessa, who is so great and has an amazing testimony, and Angelo stared fixing himself up again and isn't drinking!!!

Challenges and Celebrations

Hello all!!!! This week has been a rough one, but we're still going strong! Basically, we were all super duper pumped because one of our investigators, Angelo, hadn't drunk alcohol for 19 days, and was super ready to get baptized on the 24th of April, and very happy about it too, because baptism is basically the ticket to entering into the kingdom of God, and it is an ordinance that ONLY counts if it is in the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints, because the true power of God, the priesthood was restored to the earth through the prophet Joseph Smith Jr. and no other church has the authority nor the power to allow people to return back to our Heavenly Father's presence. But, as said in the Bible, "...the drunken... will not be heirs to the kindom of God." It is said in both Galations and Corinthians, I have to find the scriptures again. B

Interesting Week

Hellos everyone!!! I love you all and I hope everything is fine for you! I miss you and hope that you are remebering that God loves you all and wants the best for you, as said in John 3:16. And also as said in this new video that He has made posible to watch! Here, go and watch it, I promise you it will make you feel just a little bit happier today: http://www.mormon.org/easter?cid=HP_FR_3-27-2015_dMIS_fMRMN_xLIDyL1-A_

Angry Bird Pet

Hello everyone!!! I love you all and I'm missing you here in Ecuador and hope everything's good on your end of the line!!! Basically, I was laying in my bed last night, almost asleep and very nice and happy when our ringtone, which is like a really strong metal techno beat, woke me from my almost-happy slumber. Thankfully, it wasn't a call for me, but for Hermana Mamani.

Milagro - Setting Goals

Hola everyone, this is Hermana Johnson reporting live from Milagro, Guayas, Ecuador! Basically, hello and I'm sorry I haven't really written anything in like two weeks concerning what's going on around here. Getting on to that right now, keep reading. So, about two weeks ago, I was just about sleeping when the zone leaders called our phone in Duran at like 11:30-12:00 in the night, to tell me I had transfers. Usually they call everyone at around this hour for transfers, but I wasn't really expecting it, so it was a bit disappointing for me. But they changed me to Milagro, where I am now serving with Hermana Mamani from Bolivia.

New Companion, New Adventures

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing great and I love you all! Pray for you all the time! This week was a bit long, as I was showing my new companion Hna Vásquez EVERYTHING in the sector! I didn't know were to start, our sector is huge and there are so many people in our ward! But we pulled through and everyone loves her a lot! She's from Honduras!
