Hola!

Ecuador in two weeks!

I met Elder Yama over the last week, he's from Guayaquil, he's also a really really weird kid... but it's cool meeting someone from there!  I haven't been able to pick out dialects of Spanish because I can barely communicate in Spanish as it is.  But people keep telling me that Ecuador Spanish is really weird

I buy myself candy at the Tienda all the time and as long as you keep money in my account, I'll be a happy me.  I'm doing my best not to buy big things like the scripture case I got last week.

Yes, if there's new missionaries I'll see them.  We get pretty used to the faces around here after a few weeks.  The CCM is on a slow season right now with only 300ish English speaking missionaries.  The Latinos are hard to keep track of because they only stay for two weeks.  they tell us that in June the numbers of missionaries will raise too about 1000 English speaking missionaries here at a time.  I'll see Bronté when she gets here. I'm super excited for it even though I'll be leaving when she gets here.

Elder Holland Spoke on our MTC broadcast last Tuesday.  Every Tuesday night a General Authority gives a conference quality talk specifically to the missionaries, making Tuesday one of the best days of the week.  Hearing all the general authorities is awesome. But when Elder Holland, the Head of the Missionary department speaks at a devotional, his talk is quoted and repeated for years and years in the different MTCs.  If you can and if you have the time you should see if you can watch Tuesday's talk somehow.  It was AWESOME and he threatened to kick us in the throat and what not! Apparently Elder Holland isn't above tormenting people who don't serve meaningful missions.

We had another earthquake a couple hours ago, it felt a little bigger than the last one but there still wasn't any dramatic shaking.  Cool little Welcome gift for the new arrivals that just got here yesterday and just barely this morning learned that there's a earth quake siren and panic circles that you have to go to when you hear it. I have now survived two earthquakes in my lifetime.

I love you all!

This is Elder Yama from Ecuador next to my Companion.  Elder Yama somehow hurt his arm playing Fútbol/soccer during his GYM time

I took a selfie while we were all waiting in the panic circle during the earthquake. As you can see Earthquakes are a good ol´ time!

I'm starting to get into Mirror Selfies when I get haircuts.  I had to include this one because Elder Povar.

It's raining right now, this is a picture of the guys in our Casa on their way to the computer lab.  We and Elder Povar took pictures for them, we don't mind a little rain.

The birds here are KINDA' like the birds back home, well call these crows... but they don't quite look like the crows back home.  We also have kinda' Doves, Kinda' Robins, and Kinda' finches.
