some top news of the week
there were a bunch of changes in the zone, some of the sisters missed their bus, had to buy more tickets, then sisters left, then elders got to the terminal
for their changes, in other news we were in the terminal from 6 to 12, fun day not
to mention that every inhabitant of Loja left because they wanted to walk from Catamayo to Loja with their idol the Virgen del Cisne, so every one was buying
tickets for the bus to go to Catamayo and there was no breathing space in the
terminal. I was tired and stressed.
In other news we are not teaching too many people so if you can pray that
we can find more people to teach that will come to church that would be
great.
Jesse said If you want to know more, Google it, but here's the gist of what I found out! He said she's a giant barbie doll that they worship that represents the virgin Mary. Basilica of the Swan is in Loja which is the Swan Province. The Catholics there say the virgin Mary appeared there in 1594. Apparently they make a pilgrimage...the section from Catamayo to Loja is 38km which it sounds like most people from Loja go to. Jesse didn't send a picture of the doll but check out the one below! The second picture of the people converging on Loja he did send.
Also today we went with a member to visit some of the waterfalls in the
road to Zamora, so that was pretty fun i sent pics of the waterfalls.
Love Jesse
