Hey, This week has been great. Tuesday morning and Monday night I got to pack and get ready to go to Cuenca, Ecuador. It is cold and windy all the time. There are mountains everywhere as well. It is also like a mini-America down here. Our Bishop is from the states as well as a few other families. Elder Christensen has said he has had to give blessings to people in English here and had to give a few lessons in English The water here is clean and the city here is clean. Our district leader here is from Tremonton, Utah. His name is Matthew Profaizer. My zone here is pretty darned awesome. The only problem is everybody down here is Catholic. So investigators here are mostly by references. The cool part is I found when i got here that we had 3 baptisms for that Saturday. Our sectors down here are huge too. We have to ride buses almost everywhere. The good thing is we do not have as many meetings here. We have 2 to 3 so it is not that bad. The only problem is that after our baptisms, we now have no investigators. We are goin' a contacting!
From here on these are answers to the questions I asked him...
My companions name is Elder Christensen and he is from Provo. Our apartment it is huge, like twice the size of our other house. we have a kitchen, a huge living room, a bathroom with hot water, (no hot water in the apartment in Guayaquil, must of been murder for a kid who showers for 20min!!!). a bedroom and a study room. The kitchen is the same size as the other house. and same with the living room. the bedroom and study room are both about the same size if not bigger than the room in our other house. There are 7 wards and 2 branches. Americans choose to move down here because it is beautiful and a lot cheaper to live here than in the states. There is not too many members, but there still are some. No i did not have hot water before. It sucked! It took four hours to get here from Guayaquil, and transferred three other missionaries here with me, so no I didn't have to travel alone. (I asked if it was cold enough for a coat) sweater during the day and evenings, mostly during the evenings. I also saw a zumba class this morning during our run. (apparently he runs...his new comp must be a runner!) it is about the same wind wise as Idaho Falls.
the tall American is Bishop Foreman, the other American is my new companion Elder Christensen, the other man is Carlos Garcia, the older woman is Ana Maria Cobos, the other lady is Sarah Panjon.
