Christmas Dinner
Dec 7th
Well this week was pretty crazy with meetings and such but
the cool thing that happened was the dinner. We got to be with another zone
(quito east) and elder Olsen is in that zone so it was cool to have the
Christmas dinner with him. We got some turkey and gravy, we also had a white
elephant and everything.
My mission is starting to focus a ton on families, so
because of that we have started to find a ton of families. We found one family
that was listening to the missionaries while they lived in the south of Ecuador
almost three years ago. We were able to teach them and they told us about how
much they loved the church and how they were about to get baptized and
everything. They also remembered the names of their missionarys one of them
whose last name was chikiza. We rcognized that name because a member who just
got back from his mission about three years ago. they told us he was from
quito, so we decided to take this member who we though it was sunday to get
them to go to church. it turns out it was him and it was really cool to see a
ex missionary be able to see his old investigators listening to the missionarys
again and also attending his own chapel.
But that is all that pretty much happened
this week

Changes with no changes
Dec
14th
Today were changes and I get to stay
with my comp for Christmas so it’s gunna be pretty sweet because we both have
the confidence of the members so that means a lot of gifts and food haha.
This last week was pretty insane, we
found 11 new investigators and I haven’t done that sense I was in the coast so
it was a pretty good feeling to do that here in Quito. We also found a 20 year
old couple and they were actually married so that was a miracle in itself. They
also gave us civiche for lunch and it was super good (civiche is like a fish
lime soup thing that’s super good). But beside that this week was pretty slow.
We had a gift exchange and my companion bought me a
subway... haha it was a good gift only that I finished enjoying it after like 5
minutes.
But ya that was pretty much my week
i also got my Christmas package and we set up everything!

The Wuakis are going to get Baptized
Dec 21st
Finally the Tuquares family has a date for baptism that they
actually set, he feel really good about this because we have been teaching them
for a long time. The ward had been helping us out a ton because they had
natives going over there visiting them and teaching them in their own
language.... but pray for them
This last week was pretty cool with the new change, the
sister in our ward is training. And her daughter is a Latin from salt lake so
she came knowing Spanish.
The Guerrero family should be getting baptized around this
time as well because of bunch of them have received their answers so they will
be progressing shortly.
I also had divisions with the zone leaders and i was with a
gringo for a day... man that really messes up your Spanish if you aren’t used
to speaking both languages.
But that it pretty much all that happened this week!!

Christmas
Dec
28th
Whelp this was Christmas week and we almost didn’t do
anything!
The Tuqueres family are still progressing we were able to
have a family night with them and another family it was pretty fun. The dad also
told how happy he is because he found the true church. This family really has
been a miracle.
My companion also took a pretty good fall Wednesday when we
were going to lunch. It was a dirt path and fell off about 4 ft to a ply wood
wall, then the wall fell down and he fell another 8 ft to a mountain of dirt in
someone’s backyard. The family didn’t try to help him at all they just were
asking him how he fell. He just got up shook himself off and walked out their gate
haha. I was dyeing laughing but that day we did not work because my comp
was sore.
We also were able to eat 4 meals on Christmas day luckily they
all pretty much had turkey. So that was a lot of food
Today we went to a crater and also we ate at a Peruvian
restaurant.
That was pretty much my week..
Love elder Keyes
