Things are really great here in Ambato. First of all our sector is a lot bigger here and there is a lot more farmland. Ambato is known for it´s fruits and bread. However it is rather dry here in Ambato and I find myself getting really tired if I don´t drink a lot of water. The weather reminds me of Texas, just a little less hot. =P
The ward here is really big, with more than 250 members attending every Sunday. I think it will take a while to meet all of them, but they already have given us a lot of references, so I am really excited for that.
The first thing they gave us to eat on Tuesday was Guinea pig with potatoes and peanut sauce. Soooooo good.
Also this week we did a service for a member by cleaning out her water tank. Behind her house she had a big tank that fills with water, and we cleaned all the muck spider´s and slug´s out of it. At the end we put bleach and vinegar to clean the rest out and the smell was soo strong that my companion felt like he was intoxicated.
We have a few really great people we are teaching.
Carlos is an older man who was a Jehovah´s witness but he likes our church better. We have to pick him up to go to church because he can´t walk really well, but is really excited to learn more.
Yesterday we were getting ready to go to lunch and the Ortiz family called us. Well they are a reference from another family and are having a lot of problems in their family. They are really looking for ways to make their family better.
This week we have a leader's meeting in Quito so we have to leave really soon. Also we are planning on traveling to the jungle part of the zone to do divisions with the district leader there. I am going to bring my machete. =P
I´ll have more news soon!

Here´s a few fotos of me leaving Quito

| It was probably the hardest to leave Mauricio. He´s such a good guy. I´ve known him for 4 months and we´ve learned a lot of great things together. |
