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.

May 18th through May 24th:



 May 18th through May 24th: Monday, we did some shopping 
and had a very lazy day. Mom did have a dinner at 4:00pm for the presidencies of the Relief Society of the stakes here in Oaxaca.  They all met at President Atkinson’s home and had a wonderful dinner.  
The Relief Society Presidencies and Mom at the dinner.
The buses can get pretty full at rush hour.
Thursday we had just one bus come from Tlaxcala.  They were a delight to have in the temple.  Friday we had 2 groups come with a total of 4 buses.  We were busy and the Spirit in the temple was wonderful.  Saturday we had 7 buses come.  We started at 5:00am.  The last sealing session I did ended about 1:30pm.  I got home at 2:00pm made lunch and then we went back as patrons for a special session for the Area Seventy, Elder Miron and all the stake presidents and their wives.  It was a long day and we were ready to go to bed when we got home at 7:30pm.  Sunday we went to church at the Reforma Ward.  Good meetings.

We then had lunch with Elder Miron and the Presidency of the Temple, the full-time temple missionaries and President Madsen and his wife, at their home.  
Waiting for dinner President Madsen's home.
The dinner was catered.  The food was delivered Saturday night and all we had to do was heat it up.  It was delicious and we had a nice time together.

I got to sweep the floor.
Work continues.

I love that you have had so many faithful members of the church coming to the temple. We wish we would have a busload of members appear on our church doorstep on Sunday. That would make our day. We love your blog and appreciate how diligent you are at the temple. You are great examples to us
