Hey,
I made it to Ecuador safely and I am doing well. I am sorry that I was not
able to write before I left Peru, I really thought that i would be able to. so I
apologize for the false sense of hope. I love it here. When we first landed I
expected very similar weather to Peru but it is so much hotter and so much more
humid. My new companion and i are getting along great. he went to Utah State and BYU for a while before coming on his mission. he is originally from mexico and
has been in the field for 7 months. When I first arrived in Ecuador customs and
security took all of ten minutes and i thought it was funny just because of how
long it took in Peru it was a lot shorter than expected. I am also apparently in
the best mission on the earth. EGSM is apparently one of the highest baptizing
missions in south america. within my first two days here we already had a new
baptism commitment for each day from completely new people. The members and
investigators both really love the missionaries and think it is funny that i
cannot speak good Spanish but i give it a shot. Tell Abbie to do well in her
play and volleyball and tell Cierra i am glad she loves gymnastics and to keep up
the good work. I will send pics of Ecuador, the apartment, and companion. I had
some emails to catch up on this time so i don´t have too much time left. Tell
Rigdon and Jadie hi for me and i am grateful for their letters. As for Easter all i can think of is some more of that prescription toothpaste from Bro. Bell. I
love you and miss you all.
Love Jesse.
PS fun story for the week. I was trackting in those old shoes that i
brought just to wear them out and when we were talking with a member he asked to
see them for a second, so i took them off and gave them to him and he left me shoe-less for 20 minutes. when he came back he had fixed them. I thought that was
pretty cool. sorry i cant email more this week i love you all.
He did not caption any of these so I am assuming this is the view out the front door of his apartment.
