General Conference

How I love to watch General Conference! This was my first time staying in the hospidaje for conference sessions. When I think back on living in Guayaquil, we arrived in November and left at the end on March. The difference between the States, Hong Kong, and Ecuador is interesting. 


The peace of the temple is powerful. 


When we were asked to take care of the Lascanos because the Románs were going to be "out of town" Paul thought President Román would be called into the Quorum of the Seventy. I thought that was crazy. No mission president gets to leave the mission boundaries. But he was sure. So on Saturday morning we turned on conference and Paul said, Here we go.


I know it will be a big change for their family--moving from Mexico to Utah. It is such a sacrifice to be called into the Seventy. He will have another 20 years of service, along with his lovely wife. They will not get to choose their location or assignment. 

We enjoyed Elder Dushku's address, "Pillars and Rays." He is the new general counsel for the church. I enjoy the legal minds like President Oaks, Cook, and Christofferson. The way each talk is presented feels like a legal brief. 

I enjoyed all the talks about covenant keeping. It reminds me of Sister Runia's talk in October that encouraged us to be like Lehi and stand by the tree. Stand and be firm. Partake of the fruit and invite others to come and eat. 
Location: Cumbayá, Quito, Ecuador

The Big Move

Image
 President Román asked us to move to Coca, about 90 minutes south of Lago Agrio, for the last half of our mission. It is very similar in size, but everyone in Coca says it is much safer than Lago. I've seen some videos of crime in Lago, but never saw it up close, and feel that we have been protected in many ways. I was not prepared for how heavy everything is and I've not been lifting weights. I should have called the elders to help us. The weather was its regular oppressive heat, so we were just dripping sweat continually. We had a box truck to be loaded, but the driver was uninterested in helping us load. When I realized we couldn't carry the fridge and washing machine down the stairs, I walked down the road and asked some men to help us. They saved us. Our clothes were soaked through. The power went out at its regular 7-9am shift. The truck arrived at 10am and we arrived in Coca at 12:30pm. Opening the gate for the last time. The power went out from 1-3pm, so as soon as ...

Drive out of the Andes

Image
 We started early on Friday to drive the 7 hours east to Lago Agrio. It is a twisty, turning road out of 13,000' high elevation. There were many times I could not look over the edge of the road because it was so steep. The temperature went from 6 degrees C to 34 C when we arrived. We hugged the mountains and saw plenty of waterfalls. Trucks, bikes, cars, and cows. Plus, there were goats and chickens in the road. We had to move slowly due to water washing out bridge areas. Some were pretending to fix the road as you drove by and asked for money. We finally arrived in Lago Agrio and to this enormous bridge that crosses the Aguarico River. The apartment had been set up with the newly arrived furniture by our wonderful branch president, President Osorio, plus young elders who volunteered to help.

A Beautiful Walk

Image
Every time we go for a walk we discover more amazing sights. Since the trail is over 25 kilometers, we have a lot of opportunities to see new spots. The smells of eucalyptus and oleander remind me of my childhood. An old train used to pass overhead above the trail. It has a date marker of 1918 and has been tagged by recent pedestrians. There's Elder Willard up there. It's a cool 70 degrees and this will be a 10K hike. We were being watched from a safe distance.
