Yep that´s right, I got transfered to Ambato with Hna Carter! Woot! I don´t know if you remember the first person we saw in the airport when I was sent off... well that´s Hna. Carter. We are in this journey of middle earth together!

Needless to say it was hard to say goodbye to certain people and it was a bit hard to say goodbye to Baños as well. I am glad for new experiences and for new people but I will have it known that Baños will forever have a special place in my heart. I am now in Ambato and it is HUGE! It is like I went from Moab to New York City. I am in a bit of shock jaja. There is a mall here a mall. Yeah, and Chinese food! Que rico! I thought I was distracted in Baños jaja. Here it is a whole different type of distraction like people everywhere and cars and everything. I bet you can imagine. I am excited to be here though. The changes came really hard for Hna. Negro. She is finishing the training of another Hna in Baños and she is so nervous for it. But I know she will do great! I will say it is quite the miracle that I can comunicate with my latina companions and rather well not to sound boastful or anything but somehow they understand me and I know that my Heavenly Father is watching out for me. Now me toca con una compañera norteamericana. The experiences that we will have, oh the places we will see, the people we will teach. I am feeling great things coming.

I would like to share an experience that I had this week with you all. I have dreamed a dream or in other words I have seen a vision... jaja. But really the other night I was feeling a bit down and like I wasn´t really doing much good here and I went to bed feeling that way. And that night I had a dream, and it started that I was teaching a family and they didn´t show any signs of interest at all and, then followed by the weird time warp thing that happens in dreams, and I was at the temple in Salt Lake for the sealing of Amber and Eric and outside in the temple grounds was this family. And this family told me that I was the missionary that got them started in the Church, one of the young children told me thank you. And the father told me that they are now working on entering the temple to be sealed. I know this is only a dream I am not one who is really big into dreams, especially after Baños (where everyone has the craziest nightmares ever) but this dream came to me as an answer to my prayers. That although I may not see the fruits of my work it is still there and I may not be the one to see these people baptized but Everything is for a reason. For me this was such a great experience that really helped me feel peace and furthered my testimony that my Heavenly Father loves me.
Two weeks ago we gave a book of mormon to this one investigator and we weren´t able to visit him till one week later and before we even asked him he brought out his book and had read almost 200 pages! and he said I´m sorry that I couldn´t read more I was really tired these nights. And he had even marked the scriptures that he liked, and the ones he didn´t like so much jaja. That to me is like a wow, I need to step up. There is a lot of things we do everyday and sometimes it feels like oh I don´t have time but just remember what a little 5 minute time to read can do. You could recieve exaclty what you need to know to help someone else that day. Or at least you could show your love a su Padre Celestial. Today I would like to challenge you to take that little extra time to read and do it. and Then see what revelation you recieve. ¿Leerán las escrituras cada día? SÍ!!!!! Woohoo! I know that there are soo many great things waiting for you as you keep the commandments.
Los amo mucho!
Cuídense,
Hna Milligan
