March 20: I spent my whole day in Santa Rosa. Elder Coello got into Santa Rosa at about 7:40. We're staying the night with our zone leaders, Elder Roberts and Elder Gomez. We should head back around 6 or 7 tomorrow and get into Pinas around 10 or 11. I will be so dead tomorrow. Elder Coello is a cool guy.
March 21: We left Santa Rosa at about 6:40 this morning and got into Pinas at about 11:00. The back route got blocked too. As for the day, nobody was home. We spent the whole day searching for nothing. We found a new investigator, 17 year old Karla, who's sister is a member in Italy. She's cool. Elder Coello is dying. These mountains were never made for men like him. He's super awesome. He's chill.
March 22: Elder Coello is absolutely going to zonk tonight. He has 20 months in the mission, all in Guayaquil, which is super flat. I cannot describe how steep these hills are. We actually had lessons today. With George and Ibies and their family. Wonderful family. Walked around a bit, had a lesson with Jessica, and then hit up a less active, then walked into the mountains, and nobody was home. Solid day.
March 23: It was a good day. Freezing day with rain (cold for Ecuador). Once again nobody was home. We also got a call from the zone leaders last night. Pinas is its own district now. District Leader - Elder Beech.
March 24: I was super sick today. Ugh.
March 25: Still sick, but I left the house finally. Nobody was home, but it was a good day.
March 26: Church was good. I slept pretty much the rest of the day. Really sick still. Excited for General Conference!
March 27: We went to the cross today. For the first time in a long time, I had a real P-day. I also may be able to recover my photos tomorrow. We'll see. For district meeting this week I'm having all the missionaries write talks about the atonement and their lives (or just the atonement). Also super pumped for General Conference! It'd be cool if next week you could all send me your favorite talks BEFORE Monday. Thanks.
The roads in and out of Pinas are closed, so we're trapped in Pinas in case I get sicker. LOL.
We finally had a lesson with Hermana Esperana, a 16 year old investigator. It was alright.
March 28: Today was not so good. Everybody is super sick, busy, or not home. A lot of our investigators have problems with listening to us because their parents don't want them to listen to us.
March 29: We have no money, and no food. Rough day.
March 30: We went to Portovelo today, which was cool. I think we might have some success here.
March 31: Nobody was home again today, but we had a branch activity, so that was fun.
April 1: Conference was good.
April 2: We had to hang out in the house after general conference ended because of elections. We had 0 investigators show up to conference :(
