The convert

Highlight of the Week: Thunderstorms - so cool (when you´re inside :) 

Joaquin got confirmed! Aaaaand then we lost our new convert. He´s got health problems, so he can´t walk to church (so he told us), so we´ve been really on top of having rides to and from the chapel for him.  And this Sunday was no exception. . . except we´re really busy after church and such, and it was some time before we realized that the branch president (our planned ride for Hno. Joaquin) was still there, but Joaquin wasn´t. And none of the members knew who had taken him home (or IF he´d been taken home). So we started to worry (not panic. . . just worry :) and set out to find him. It´s a good 15 minute walk (missionary pace) to Joaquin´s house, and the whole way we were trying to figure out what could have possibly happened. I came to the conclusion that he was so close to perfection that all he needed was to be confirmed and then the Lord translated him :) Hna. Quito didn´t buy it. Turns out Joaquin can walk to the church (at least home from the church) and we didn´t lose our new convert after all :) He´s well and living, not yet translated, but baptized and confirmed :) 

Well, I don´t have time to write more, and I can´t respond to individual emails this week either. Sorry. But just wait for next week! :)
