This week I don't have a lot of time to write because I just recently arrived in my new sector. I am in Vinces. It is a Branch and it is 3 hours away from Guayaquil. I am with a new companion named Elder Guzman. He is from Bolivia.
The highlight of this week was two things. First we taught a lesson to a lady named Julissa Macias. She has been taking lessons from us just recently. The first thing that she said to us was, "It is a joy here" (pointing to her heart, referring to the spirit). She astounded me. I was so surprised. She received a testimony and a confirmation of the spirit that the plan that God has for us and that we know to be true is true. I was so happy. My love has grown more and more as I have watched her and the others grow. Later this week we had 8 investigators show up and they all had a great time. They enjoyed learning at the church and participating in the lessons. I was so happy that they could do that. Our work is starting to show results.
