Family,
It was the longest week of my life. Like I said, I found out I was coming to Cuenca, opening a sector, senior companion, and training... well the night I got here to Cuenca, the zone leaders came over and told me I was also the District Leader. Dad will tell you what a district leader does because I have no time to describe it. It is a ton of work though. I have been reprimanded by the zone leaders a few times already for our numbers being low but it is okay. It is just super hard to start from scratch in a sector the size of South LA. We have been lost probably 100 times already. My companion is Elder Monroy. He is from Mexico. He is great. He is a help and not a burden, so we are going to do great. We had 4 baptisms this weekend which was awesome. Also, the other sector in my district had a baptism too. I interviewed the girl who got baptized and it was amazing to see her get baptized. It hailed and snowed yesterday too. It is freezing here. I like that though. We sleep in a basement... Dad´s dream. Literally- a bat cave… they have tons of blankets for us though. I already know that this is going to be the hardest change of my mission. Anyway that´s about all the time I have to write. My trainee emailed everyone and their dog ;) He has a lot to learn. I am doing great though. Oh, the people. Cuenca is different. People don´t want to listen... I realize now how amazing the people in Guayaquil are.

I will make sure to kick Elder Monroy off after 30 minutes next time so I have time to write.
