Ever since Jaden was a tiny guy he was obsessed with the family chocolate chip cookies and even just the dough. He sucks at letters because we talk every week now but he was excited to send us picts of their attempt to make cookies. He wrote to get the recipe and matched it as close as he could in Ecuador.
He said they were not quite the same but still yummy. It’s so much fun to hear how excited he still gets about the same cookies.
He is still in Duran. He said it is a tough area. They have to be in their apartment 30 min earlier than every other area. (Sometimes even by noon that day-gang violence). And for now they’re keeping the sisters out of the area because of the gang violence. The elders they’ve sent have mostly been APs and Zone leaders and are now just regular missionaries trying to really help this area extra. Lots of crime (his comp was already robbed) and drugs and many people just leave because they easily get offended by someone or something stupid in the community. They’re working on building and strengthening relationships with the people there as they came into an are that not much as been done for a long time. Spreading the love of Christ and His gospel to all they can.
He was excited to find a small family that needed service in their yard and house. They plan on going back this next week to see if they need help again. He said it felt so good to be able to help. So many are scared there because it’s such a violent area.
Isn’t it awesome though in the middle of such violence one can still find hope and the Love of Christ
