Quito, Ecuador Temple
Here is where we will be working until Feb. 2023

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.

September 25th through October 1st


We have a produce truck that comes every Monday morning before we go shopping.

September 25th through October 1st: Tuesday we had our art class and then did our shift in the temple.  
I worked on Evan's eyes and brightened them up.
Mom worked on the "tupuy" woven into their braids.
I also worked on Miles.
Wednesday, after presidency meeting, we went toy shopping (for the nursery at the temple) with Brother Carranza.  President and Sister Faundez, of the Coban Mission,came to the temple with their missionaries who were headed home.  They stayed the night at our house.  They are wonderful and so very upbeat.  Saturday we listened to conference and then after the afternoon session, we all went to dinner at San Martins.  
Dinner after Saturday afternoon's session.
The men then listened to the priesthood session at our house.  
Priesthood Session.
Sunday, between the sessions of conference, we had everyone over for a pot luck dinner.

Conference was great and we felt the love of our Father in Heaven as He inspired and directed His servants to teach us the things that will help us be able to return and receive from Him the greatest of all gifts from God, eternal life.  Elder Hales’ passing on conference Sunday was a tender mercy.  I remember him well.  While he was Presiding Bishop for the church, I was his bishop in the 33rd ward and he and Mary came to me for tithing settlement.

Everyone uses their trucks as a taxi. Even on the highway.
Walking on the sidewalks can be a little dangerous.
More uneven sidewalks.
