I swear it just gets hotter and hotter here in Guayaquil. Even when it rains it is still super hot. There is just no break from this tremendous heat.
Blessings
This week we worked really hard without many results or success. Every day we were out early and we were out till the last minute. Instead of seeing more results we saw less results. People starting slipping and there wasnt much we could do. We keep working witht the faith and hope that the Lord would bless us as we continued to work. Sunday came and we only had 2 people in the church. 15 minutes passed and in walked a part member family whose wife wants to get baptized. Then another 5 minutes passed and in walked a single mom. When we talked to her after so had been invited by a friend and she came. She has 2 daughters and she is trying to find the right church. We had an amazing lesson with her and her daughters last night. Things are looking up here Santa Monica. We continue to work with what we have and then keep looking for new ones. Should be having a baptism coming up real soon. The 2 of May is when it is programmed right now.
Life on the Road
The other day we visited a recent convert who was baptized in October of last year. For his profession he drives semis. His semi was parked in front of his house. We were asking questions about it and he chatted for a while. He then asked if he wanted to drive it. We refused because we cant, even tho that was way hard for my companion lol. He offered to take us around the block just so we could see what it was like. We toured the sector for like 30 seconds and come back. Just a short little ride. Took some cool pictures tho.

Not much happened this week. We continue to work hard and serve the Lord. It is still hot and will probably always be like that. Thanks for all the love and support!
Life is a sport, make it count
