Volcanos and Eating Normally

Hello everyone! 

This week went by so fast, I am so surprised how quickly times goes by when you get into the swing of things. this week I was finally able to eat pretty normal again, eating 2 or 3 plates of food. ya know. 

I dont have a ton of time today, so this email might be shorter than normal. but I have lots of pictures!

Today we went up to a (inactive) volcano called Quilotoa which was way way way gorgeous. It's crazy to think how it all formed. in the middle of the volcano is a big lake. 

This week I went on divisions with our district leader, Elder Pugmire. he goes home in a couple months and it was awesome to learn from him and hear all of his cool stories! He is so nice and super funny, and he is an amazing teacher for me and for the investigators.

I had the typical "missionary humbling" experience when it comes down to tracking the other day. after around 6:30, nobody wants to talk to us, especially if we knock on the door. it was about 8:30 at night and I was thinking about how inefficient it is to knock on doors so late, but the very next door we knocked on, this man let us in. a couple minutes later, his wife, their daughter and her 5 year old son showed up and we taught them the restoration. they asked us a lot of questions and it was so awesome. we are going to go stop by later this week and hopefully teach them some more, but the spirit in the room was amazing! 

I am getting more comfortable with the language slowly, today I bought a backpack by myself, so you could say that I'm pretty much fluent... right?

Love you all! Thank you for the prayers and love!

 We are surrounded by volcanos here, the one behind me is "the illinesas"

 These are some pictures from today, the hike is beautiful and not too long at all, but definitely on the cold side! we were so high up in elevation!
