This week was really fun! We had exchanges with the zone leaders, which is basically when we switch companions for two days. That was super fun! I was with Elder Johnson, and it was fun to be able to speak english with someone! We had a really fun time, and a few really crazy stuff happened. So, Imma tell y'all one of them!
We went to visit with a guy that we are teaching, and his house is in this gated block, so when we got there, we stopped outside the block to call him to let us in. As we stopped, I leaned on the gate, and it opened! Woohoo! So we walked in, walking past these two guys-being missionaries, we greeted them with a huge smile- and they gave us the strangest look, but we just walked to the house. After just a few minutes, we were all called outside by a group of angry drunk men, who started shouting at us, saying, "how did you get in here?" and "do you have a key?" and "did you use magic?!" So that was strange. We explained the situation to them, and one of them finally let us go. But then as we left, this guy started shouting at us in English telling us that we better watch our backs, and we weren't welcome back there. That was weird because it is a public neighborhood... so we are going back on Wednesday!
Ecuador is great, my spanish is finally pretty good, and I love being a missionary. Sorry for the short email and no pictures, but I have like no time ever!
Love you all!
Elder Jones
