Hay fam and friends...
It`s already February! Time is going by super fast, and even faster
since I´ve been in the office. They brought me in to be a nurse a
couple of weeks ago. It´s a more stressful job than to be a normal
missionary but overall I feel more comfortable here. I think it´s
because my real calling is to be the nurse, not to be a normal
missionary. It was really interesting the change I felt when I came from
the field to the office. I know this is where I´m supposed to be.
I´m with Hermana Riera from here in Ecuador. She studied public
health before the mish and I think she wants to be an OB nurse or a
midwife after the mish. We have a lot of fun together, trying to figure
out what we´re supposed to do and make sure that all of the missionaries
are taken care of. It´s like having 200 little brothers to look after
haha. And my Spanish is definitely improving. I can´t remember if I
dream in Spanish or not... there are some times that it´s definitely in
Spanish but other times I can´t remember.
This weekend and Monoday and Tuesday is Carnival here. Everyone is
going on vacation and planning fiestas. Apparently there are a ton of
traditions here for carnival... face painting, fiestas, throwing water
on people, etc... I´ll let yáll know how it is after I see it.
My new sector is called Las Peñas. It´s basically downtown
Guayaquil. The people are more well off than those in Milagro. Most
people live in huge buildings of apartments. It´s pretty much the exact
opposite of Milagro with the houses of caña. There´s one street that
almost looks like it could be New York and there´s a riverside
park-walkway that´s cool. Basically this area is more touristy. But the
ward is pretty nice and I´ve enjoyed being here. The people aren´t as
open but that´s to be expected. Not everyone can have the same love as
the people in Milagro.
I guess that´s about it for now. I hope all is going well for everyone in the States. Take care!!
Love,
Helena
