Wow that`s shocking to hear about all the negativity towards the church! I have a deep support for the church and I will stand beside it and always support their decisions!
Ecuador is such a beautiful place! It has humble people that love the gospel and especially Jesus Christ. I like my trainer and his name is Elder Huff (he's from California). Talking to the investigators has been such an amazing opportunity and I'm grateful to serve and act in the name of Jesus Christ. These experiences help me become closer to the Spirit and get better with my Spanish! Cambaya is a great area to serve in and it is beautiful! (I will get transferred every 6 weeks) They have good food and I haven't tried guinea pig yet. The food is also pretty cheap and I should be able to live just fine haha! I'm getting comfortable speaking in Spanish with others and I cant wait to speak it with our family. My purpose as a missionary is to bring the people of Ecuador unto Jesus Christ and help them receive the fullness of the Gospel and I'm so excited to do that. The only thing I'm worried about is getting sick. We aren't allowed to eat some fruit that we eat with the peel like peaches, strawberries, etc. The MTC gave us filter water bottles that last pretty long with drinking tap water. The missionary experience itself is very different but I know that if I do my best, many life's will be touched, I will receive blessings and it will all work out as Heavenly Father would have it be. Right now I don't need money and still have that $ that you gave me. I haven't had a use for it yet. The housing is so cheap and its $10 a month. I should be fine right now and I will let you know if I need more money. My stipend is $90 every two weeks for groceries. My companion loves toffee and cinnamon rolls, and cheeze its! My mission is such a great foundation for me to build on for my future family and I will do my best to serve the Lord! I will email you more pics! Send me more dried mangoes if you can. haha
Love you Mom!!!!!!

I know, I am so mad I wasn't able to call Mom and talk to you! You and Mom look great in those costumes!! Glad to hear that Halloween was great. I miss eating those pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. There are so many dogs in Ecuador and they are in every corner of each street! Where I live, there is a chicken coup underneath our apartment and there are a ton!!! So yes, I finally saw chickens haha! Love you Ava!!!!!
