Note: September 1 is Hermana Arnold's halfway point. It has gone by so fast for us here at home. It looks like she is having a great time, despite the normal mission adversity. Here is her letter home this week.
Hello everyone,
I had a good birthday, my district bought me pan de chocolate, and on P-day I bought 2 skirts for 3.50 and a dress for 10 and shoes for 13, I love how cheap things are in Ecuador....but also, after that I forgot that it was my birthday, because I was so focused on other people! It was a great day, by far one of the best birthdays.
Also...this week I have witnessed a lot of opposition from the adversary. Satan is real, and he has angels and they take hold of a lot of the people's hearts, and this week, was kind of difficult because we could feel them. They obviously don't like that we are here. We've had a couple experiences this week that I can say that I am afraid of the adversary, but I know that Christ lives, God has a plan for me, we have authority to be here and we are changing people's lives no matter how much they tell us we aren't doing anything. I may not be able to see all the fruits of my labors but we have a part in this plan, and we are just helping many people come unto to Christ who don't know where to find Him.
Sorry, I am running out of time, but I love my mission, I love to be hundred percernt focused on other people, and my capacity to love and serve others has grown and I get so excited to go out to work, when 6 months ago I dreaded it. I have come along way and it has flown by so fast, but I still have so much to learn. Please always have me in your prayers and especially my investigators and converts that they will stay true and develope there own testimonies and repent...I hope this with all of my heart! Well, I love you and this church is true and this is his work!
Love,
Hermana Arnold
