Elder Max Hoole ~ Ecuador Guayaquil South Mission: Last Transfer in Mission

Well, I just hit my last transfer in the mission and now I just have a short 5 weeks left here in Ecuador and I got my wish! I'm training again and I'm training a new missionary from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, se llama Elder Ribera! Super humble guy! He has no idea how to speak and it's been kind of hard, but he's happy to be out here and it's definitely making me work hard everyday to be a good example and to keep pushing until the end, so that's good!

This last week we had an awesome BAUTISMO! Ella se llama Tatiana! She has 19 years and she's like the mom in her family because just one day her mom just packed up and dipped on her family so now she's in charge! So her baptism was awesome. During the baptism, a member's 8 year old son was also getting baptized and he went right after Tatiana. He had a difficult time going through with the baptism because he was scared of getting his face wet! We had to talk to him, pray with him and help him until finally he was like, ok, but then as we baptized him he was scared so we just had to pray that he could do it and just dunk him! He cried a little, but then yesterday he bore his testimony in church and all is well! He was happy as can be!

I'm working really hard with the less active members in our area and trying to help them understand they need to come to church and feel loved. I'm excited to come home and eat US food! I keep forgetting what it tastes like! I have forgotten! I don't remember what there is!

But yeah all is well!
