Happy 4th of July!!!

Hi family!! How are your 4th of July celebrations going? There is a
family in our ward who the wife if from the US and he went to BYU so
we celebrated with them. This morning we went on a hike to see the
cross on top of a mountain.. In her mission she always went to visit
the crosses.. not sure why but anyway she wanted to go so we went with
them! We didn´t make it all the way to the top because we were tired
and out of time but it was really pretty to see the city from up
there! Then we went back to their house and had a BBQ and said the
Pledge of Alegence and sang the national anthem and it was fun! So we
got to celebrate a little!
Well Roberto didn´t get baptized this weekend because he has to have
an interview with the President so he will be getting baptized this
Friday and we are hoping with his sister Gabriela and cousin Dina. We
went to visit Gabriela´s mom with the bishop this week and he got her
to let go of the First Communion thing but she said she had to talk to
her husband so we are going tonight to see what he said! I know it
will all work out! The Yépes family may be getting baptized this
weekend also! They have to have their interview and if everything goes
well they can get bpatized! If not the next weekend.. But they are
doing well! We have a few other people that we are working with but
they don´t have dates.. Soon though!
Well President and Sister Sloan left Saturday and President and Sister
Ghent are here! We are going to be meeting them this week! I hear he
is super super tall! I´m sad the Sloan´s are gone but it will be fun
working with the Ghents. The traning is going well! I don´t know how
well I am doing as a trainer but we are having fun together! It´s also
hard speaking in Spanish to her because just talking about life is so
much easier in English and somethings I just can´t say in Spanish. But
I know I need to be better at talking with her is Spanish so she can
learn. I really don´t know how Hermana Rodgers and I got by with our
Spanish! haha That´s just proof that the Spirit really is the teacher!
Well that´s pretty much all that is going on right now.. Sorry this is
short but I love you all and I am so grateful to be here serving. It
has changed my life and I know I will always remember what I am
learning here. I love Ecuador and the mission and I love the Gospel!!
Thank you for everything! Have a great week!! xoxoxoXo
Love forever and always,
Hermana Nelson
