Esta Bien!!

Hola Familia, 

Sorry I am writing late, we were in Cuenca all day! We are doing pretty great here. This week was pretty great. I am grateful for the miracles that our Heavenly Father always gives us. Friday a member called us and said that her daughter was not in the records of the church as baptized and the Stake President said that we needed to baptized her. We were like esta bien!! So we had a baptism saturday. It was pretty great. We also are going to have a baptism this saturday. It is an Hermana Named Maria Sarmiento. She is 85 and she is blind but she is super awesome. She know us by how she feels! She calls us hijos de Dios. She is awesome. We are going to have like thee people in the font to baptize her!!! We don´t have much time to write this week but that is pretty much it. I did get a dearelder and it said that the Grandmas were worried about a foto where I am wearing a motorcycle helmet. Don´t worry it was the helmet of an investigator that let us put it on only to take fotos! The foto of morp is pretty awesome!!!  I am sure Ali talk was great. Well I love you all so much and I hope you all have a great week!!

Love, Elder Duzett

The Lord's Hand

Hola Familia, Como Estan. Espero que todo esta bien con ustedes. I hope you are all doing excellent. I am so grateful for the example of each and everyone of you. You all have helped me greatly. Wow Mom and Dad you guys are always in farewells. That is awesome actually because that means lots and lots of missionaries. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to be a missionary. I pray that I can be a better missionary everyday. I know that the Lord is always helping us. Mom you are right the time really is flying by. It is amazing how time works when we are on the Lords time. I know that this is the Lords work. I do see the Lords hands in my call. It is a little bit tougher here in Azogues but I know that we are going to make it much better. I know that this is the Lords work and I have been called to preach the gospel to the people here and I know that we are going to find more people to teach. I am grateful for all that I am learning here in Azogues. I am grateful everyday for the things that I learn. I know that I have many things to learn. I know that this week is going to be great. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and the strength that it always gives me. Today I was reading about the Standard of Liberty. I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to defend my religion. I know that this church is true. I know that Christ lives and loves us. I know that he is always there to help us. We are doing pretty well here. Our program is growing which is great. We are still working to have a super great program here. This week was pretty much normal. Wednesday all of Cuenca had interviews with President Torres and I saw Hermana Whitmore there. It was kind of weird. She started to talk to me in English and it was super hard to respond. It was different to see a familiar face.  The mission really is awesome!!!!! The things we learn in the mission have eternal worth. I hope you all have a great week. I know that we are going to have one too. We have an investigator named Jorge Guillermo who is really awesome. He has problems with Alcohol but we are helping him get rid of it. He is preparing to get baptized on the 9th of November. I know that he will be ready. I am so grateful for the changes that I can see in people through the power of Christ. This really is an amazing work. Thanks for all that you do for me. I still have not been able to get new pants yet but I took the money out of the account and hopefully I will be able to go to Cuenca next week. Anways and love you all so much and I hope you all have a wonderful semana. I love you all muchisimo!!!!
Love, Elder Duzett
p.s I did not take any photos this week but I will send some next week and Elder Condori manda saludos.

Working Hard in Azogues!!

Hola Familia, Espero que todos están excelentes. I hope that all is well. All is well here in Ecuador. Thanks for all of the news. I am excited to go back and read all of the talks from conference. They always give me animos, sorry I don`t remember the word in English. Way to go Utah!! That is the Utah I am used to!!! That is crazy that another person I know is coming to this mission. That is kind of crazy. This mission is pretty awesome. I have not seen Hermana Whitmore yet but who knows. 

Ecuador is pretty awesome. We are working hard to build a stronger program. This week the program fell but I know that this week will be better. We are going to work like locos to baptize every person here in Azogues. I know that the Lord will help us to have more success. I know that this is the Lords work and that we are the Lords servants and we need to help everyone here. To answer your question Mom we take buses sometimes but it is a lot of walking!! It is pretty awesome. The mountains are pretty awesome. I am excited for this week and the oppurtuntiy that we have to mejorar esta programa. 

I know that this church is the only true church. I know that this is the church of Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it always has all of the answers. A cool chapter is Mormon 8. I know that when we look for the anwers we are given them. I know that Heavenly Father loves each and everyone of his Children. I hope that you all have a wonderful week full of blessings. I love you all and miss you all!!!

Con mucho Amor

Conferencia General and a New Companion

Hola Familia, Espero que todo esta bien con vosotros. I am doing pretty great here. The conference was pretty great. We talked the stake into letting us have the conference here in our ward so we would not have to bring all of our investigators an hour away. I was able to see all of the conference Sunday and the second half of the priesthood session. We had to get permission to go to the priesthood session. We had to run down a mountain to make it to the second half though. We went to visit a family up a mountain. The conference was super awesome. It was awesome because this conference I could understand what they were saying without too much difficultly. This week was a pretty crazy week. Wednesday we got a call at 11 at night and they said that Elder Castañeda was getting transferred. They said that I had to travel to Machala the next day to bring my companion here to azogues. I was in a bus for like 12 hours on Wednesday. It was not that fun. They also said that I am now District Leader. It is kind of crazy because now I am senor companion and I have the responsibility of the companionship. It is kind of stressful!!! My new companion is Elder Bohorquez from Lima, Peru. He is pretty cool. He has 3 months in the mission. I finished up his training. It was interesting being able to study an extra hour in the mornings. I was able to learn a lot. We had a pretty good week. We were able to bring 8 people to church was pretty great. We will have to work with these eight people to help them get baptized. We are still working hard to find more people that can get progress and get baptized. I am grateful for this opportunity that I have to be working here in Azogues. I am grateful for the ward!! I am grateful for the conference. It was awesome. The spirit was so so strong during President Monsons talk. I loved the talk from President Uchtdorf in the Priesthood session about helping people up. I can see that every day. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to help people get up and the opportunities that we have to have trials that we can stand up as well stronger than ever. I know that this is true. I know that Christ suffered for every trial that we have. I know that through our trials we can stand up stronger. There is a verse that I really like in The Book of Mormon that says are trials will be consumed in the light of Christ. I know that this is true. And Mom HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FELIZ CUMPLIAÑOS!!!!!!! I hope that you have a great birthday tomorrow. Keep your eyes on the mail next week!! I love you so much Mom!!! I hope you have a wonderful week. I hope that you all have a wonderful week full of super cool experiences. Thank you all for you prayers!!! We are going to use that power to bring a super strong program here!!! Anyways I hope that you all have a great week. I love you all and pray for you all continually. Love, Elder Duzett
