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.

June 15th through June 21st:

 June 15th through June 21st:  Monday we went downtown with the Rays and mom bought fabric to have a new temple dress made.  We then met up with the Roesberrys and saw the movie, “Jurassic World”.  It was entertaining, but not as scary and the original.  There was nothing very noteworthy this week except than on Saturday we had 7 buses come.  I expected 3 buses at 11:30am and so when two of our sealers showed up at 7:00am, I sent them home and told them to come back at noon.  Well, the 3 buses arrived at 10:00am and I had to change plans.  So, President Pena and I both took a large group of patrons to the two sealing rooms and I got to do sealings for 1 ½ hours.  I am always so grateful for the spirit that attends these sealing sessions.  I feel so blessed to be able to officiate.  Saturday night we went with the Penas to a talent show at the Juarez ward.  The Juarez ward is part of my assigned stake, but the Penas have gotten very close to the bishop. He has really done a good job of bringing his flock to the temple to clean every other Monday for the past few months.  They had 26 people on one Monday.  Anyway, it was fun to be there and support them.  
Can you find mom?
The young men and young women dancing.
The full time missionaries.
An interview with a young philosopher.  All the native Spanish speakers laughed a lot.
The Bishop and his wife.   I got tired just watching them.
All the kids in the Primary.  So cute.
Dinner.  A piece of bread with beans and cheese.
Sunday we went back to the Juarez ward and spoke in Sacrament meeting. We stayed for their other meetings and then spoke in the sacrament meeting of the Violetes ward who share the building with the Juarez ward.  In the evening we spoke with all of our children and wished our sons and sons-in-law happy father’s day.  Our four kids in Utah were all together at Charlotte’s home for Sunday dinner.  We love that they will get together once a month and enjoy each other’s company.  Always makes us homesick. 
Sunday after sacrament meeting at the Violetes Ward.  Fayne Diego, mom, Sister Diego, and me.  The mother and daughter are both temple workers.

Slow but sure.
