Doorbells, mics and electric fences...oh my!!

Dear Family

P-Day. Today we had lunch with some other missionaries in our district. After we went to this church which is like the biggest and oldest church in Cuenca. It was really cool. Only one room though and it was giant. I attached a picture of the outside, the front on the inside. The other picture is of a modern art museum we went to today as well. The picture i sent is of a fork and spoon made out of forks and spoons. So far today has been pretty good. Now to recap the week... This week has not been the funnest week at all. This week has been straight ringing doorbells and talking to microphones. In this entire week we rang over 500 doorbells. The upside was that by Saturday we started to actually find people and we have names in our agendas again. Then last night we finally put two more baptismal dates for May 25th. Hopefully we start having more baptisms in the up and coming weeks. But I love Cuenca. The mountains everywhere are beautiful it is a nice type of weather here and not overpowering heat like Guayaquil. The hardest part about Cuenca is that everyone here is Catholic, and not Catholic like my parents attend church Catholic, but real Catholic. So we work hard here, but without references the mission here is really hard. Here is my funny story... So as we were contacting this week we ring the doorbell on the house. We had heard people in the house so we thought maybe they just did not hear the doorbell, so we rang it again. The next thing we knew the electric fence had been turned on and started to buzz. Somebody was terrified enough of the missionaries to turn on the electric fence... or they wanted to scare us off, but it just made me chuckle. With mothers day i do not know yet, for some reason it is believed that it is a better idea for us to know Saturday and call you for all of two minutes to coordinate a time. I do not know where that logic comes from, but whatever. This week has been a great week for me and Elder Christensen to talk though, due to the lack of teaching, but we are pretty good friends.

I also lied last week about the picture of the city, that is Cuenca not Guayaquil.

That is the week of Elder McCammon in the Frio ciudad of Cuenca. I ended up getting a cold so i did end up having to buy a sweater. I actually liked the cold, but i do not think that my body did.

 So I found this on google and added it so you could see the whole church.

 The rest of these were taken by Jesse.

I love and miss all of you, but until next week love Elder McCammon
