Howdy!
It's been a little while and a lot has happened, so I figured it's time for a little update.
For the past 5 months I've been in the same little slice of mountainous heaven. It's been quite the experience I have to say. I think I've grown a lot since being here. Even though Loja is a really pretty town, the coolest thing I've been able to see is our friends grow in their relationship with their savior Jesus Christ. Without a doubt that's the best part of being a missionary.
One man in specific, Jose, has grown so much I can't even believe it! When I met him over 4 months ago, he had already read the bible 7 times and was already a great guy. But in the time I've been able to know him, and after his baptism, he has become a different level of person. He's a completely new and transformed man! To me it's been incredible to watch him grow closer to Christ, and now I know without a doubt that repentance is real.
Lots of other fun stuff has happened. New comps, adventures, ultimate frisbee games waterfalls, and even a visit from one of the 70. Unfortunately though, my time here has expired, and today is my last day here in Loja. It's definitely been sad to say goodbye but I trust that I'll go where I need to next.
I hope you're doing great whatever you're doing! Don't forget that Jesus loves you!
