Okay, its not Christmas...yet. But I did have a snowball fight today!!! Today
we climbed (not to the top...dont trip, mama bear) Chimborazo!! It is supposedly
the highest summit from the center of the earth!!! There are volcanos a good
amount taller...but due to being on the equator and the earths oval
shape....its the highest summit. #Science. Jaja. It was epic!!!! I hadnt seen
snow since BYU like 5 years ago (or 1.5 years ago....the years blend together
these days). We couldnt see anything the whole drive up the base of the
volcano, as it was crazy cloudy and foggy, but once we got up to the 1st and
2nd refuge it was SUPER CLEAR. We basically hopped above all the
clouds....epic. I dont have too much to right about it...so ill just send a
bunch of pics. It was like a 2 hour drive from Riobamba to the 1st refuge, and then about an
hour hike up to the second refuge. Met people from like 10 different
countries... I felt like I was in the beginning of my mish again...

The trip to Quito was chill. Ended up staying
this Monday-Wednesday cause my comp had a knee appointment (all is well). We
chilled in the offices Tuesday night and Wednesday until 4pm....I almost jumped
out the window. It was sooooo boring/hard sitting in a chair for so much time.
Upside, watched every video you can imagine on
mormonchannel.org.... downside.
Missionary Leadership Council on
Tuesday was good. Got to spend a lot of time with my boy Elder U and see
a few other buds. The conference was good. Learned alot. Next month we are
gonna start a mission wide bus contacting movement. My comp and I tested it out
a few time this week. Surprisingly, Ecuadorians pay a lot of a attention to a
huge gringo talking about God in the front of a bus that he doesn´t even fit
in...EPIC. Feeling a lil big more like Dan Jones every day, jaja!
On Saturday we had a sisters conference. Where
all the sisters in the zone get together and us and the Sister Trainers train
about different phases of missionary work. It went really well, and we ate cake
at the end. Score.
Well, thats about it. Oh yeah! Carebear asked me some Qs....
Are you getting daily meals or cooking for yourself?
Are you getting daily meals or cooking for yourself?
We eat lunch every day with a member from the neighboring
branch, and then make dinner in the house. If we have time/are close to home we
hit a lil dinner break, if not we just make a lil something when we get home.
As in Tuna Sammys and Spaghetti with ketchup...DOWN!
Tell me more about the area, etc.
Pretty sure I did last week..but its...pretty. ;)
Random question, but are the beds there long enough for you? Or do you have to
put a chair at the end so your feet don't hang over?
No. My whole mission I have had my ankles/feet
hanging off the bed or sleeping in a diagonal position so that they can barely
fit on. Its not too bad, but I do miss a nice, large, Sorensen-sized bed
Love you all! Enjoy a few pics...more will come next week (took most with Elder Anderson´s camera...)
