The Eaglet Has Landed

Familia!!!! I only have 5 minutes but I'm just letting you know that I arrived in Quito safely. The city is absolutely beautiful, but also big and a little big scary. p-day is Monday so I will be able to write you more then, but just know that I'm doing well!! Except please pray for me a lot because this is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done. It is a big city and I don't know how to live in a foreign country and last night was my first "Holy crap what have I gotten myself into" moment. But I should be alright!!! Start looking for a good water filter bottle though, I gave mine to my companion in the MTC because it made the water taste really bad.

I love you all so very very much!!! I loved getting to talk to you yesterday, Dad, that was such a tender mercy. Mom...............:'(. Stockton, if you were home, you should have answered the phone. Solomente un chiste, I wouldn't have answered a phone call from Panama either.

Be safe!! Pray always!!!

Love Hermana Kaela

Some of My Favorite Scriptures

Ether 12:4
"Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God."

Alma 37:6-7
"Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls."

Alma 29:9-10
"I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.
And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his mercify arm which he extended towards me."

2 Nephi 25:26
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."

D&C 60:13
"Behold, they have been sent to preach my gospel among the congregations of the wicked; wherefore, I give unto them a commandment, thus: Thou shalt not idle away thy time, neither shalt thou bury thy talent that it may not be known."

Helaman 10:4-5
"Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.
And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will."
