Welcome

Dear Readers,

We hope as you read this blog of our mission to the Quito, Ecuador temple you will feel the joy and happiness we are experiencing by being in the service of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We hope you can experience some of what we feel. Christine and I met in Quito, Ecuador 51 years ago while serving as missionaries. We are going home.

Week 9

Week 9

Sun. Feb. 12th: President Dyer and his wife went with us to church. This is nice because they picked us up and we didn’t have to take the trufis. After church we went exploring above Tiquipaya.









We found a road that went up the mountain. We then had lunch at the mission home with the Dyers.








We had a huge thunder and hail storm in the evening. Mon. Feb. 13th: All the North Americans left this morning for Sucre. The temple will be closed for renovations till Feb. 28th. We are holding down the fort here with the 4 Latin couples and 2 single sisters. It rained most of the day so we just stayed in.





Tues. Feb. 14th: We went exploring Cochabamba today and tried to take a double-decker bus. It never showed up so we just walked around.








Wed. Feb. 15th: Mom organized lunch for everyone that was left in the guest house. Everyone was to bring whatever they had in their fridge (left-overs) to the lunch room and we would have a buffet. Well the Delgados and the Vallenases and sister Castilla all went to a lot of work and made delicious food. We had a feast and sat around and talked for a couple of hours. Mom got her hair cut and we went to the grocery store. Thurs. Feb. 16th: I have been trying to get my blood checked for 3 or 4 days. We finally got the right directions to the Lab and we went and had blood drawn. We went back in the late afternoon and picked up the results. My blood is too thin. I called the Pharmacist in Mt. Peasant and he gave me new instructions. I will go back in 3 weeks and get it checked again.





After getting the Lab work done we visited a church that was open. It was the first time we had seen this church open. We have started to watch a mini series from the BBC call Larkrise to Candelford.










Fri. Feb. 17th: We went to la cancha this morning with the Vallaneses, they said they would help mom buy some fabric that she needs for a Relief Society activity tomorrow. The videos I took are really interesting.
