Hermana Beutler in Ecuador: Week Fifty-three: Cambios & nurses

Hola mi familia!

I'm still in Quito! :D But not in Chillogallo. :( But that's alright! I'm super pumped for this change! Honestly when I received the phone call I was super confused, because they told me that I was going to train the mission nurse, and I thought, "are they assigning me to be a nurse too" because the new nurse already has trainers. I honestly thought it was a joke. Haha. But it turns out that I am training the mission nurse! Isn´t that awesome! Hermana Mosquera is my new companion. She already has one change in the mission and was with the other part-time nurses, but we are going to have two full-time nurses and the other is getting here this change. So, the other hermanas are going to train the new hermana while I work with Hermana Mosquera as a normal missionary. She is the best! She's from Cali, Colombia! I already know that we are going to have a great time together. I can't wait! We are working in La Colon. Which is funny because I never in a million years thought I would be working in downtown Quito but here I am and I am so excited! Missionary work is the best!

I have to tell you all about last week! It was the best! Hermana Herrera and I worked the hardest that I have ever worked in my entire mission! It was an exhausting week but we saw so many miracles and we found golden families! One of which we found in the bus. Well, we found the dad. He was reading his bible and my companion sat down next to him because it was the only seat left. I told her that we should talk to him and so she started up the conversation. He was really receptive and we went and met his family the next day and they are the best! I'm sad I won't be able to keep teaching them but I know that they are going to do great things in the church!

Every day we are striving to get better as a mission. We always talk about elevating the vision. Well we have received new standards of excellence and let me tell you, they are pretty high goals. Well Hermana Herrera and I planned and planned and planned up until we found the way to reach these goals and then we got to work. And guess what! We got so close!!!! And the best part was that we felt that we gave it our all and learned how to plan EVEN BETTER this week so that we can not only reach the goal, but go past it. We should always set goals! Remember that the prophet taught that we know where we're going! We know what the goal is! Now we have to do our part to make good decisions to reach that goal!

I love this work and I love all of you. Next week I'll fill you all in on more details from the week!

Have the best week ever!

Con mucho amor,

Hermana Beutler
