A somber morning, as we bid farewell to our dear Hermana Griesemer aka " El corazon de la mision" (the heart of the mission). Her influence, creativity, and strong organizational skills has left a mark on Mission, Quito Ecuador. We love her and we will never forget her!
After zone conference, zona Otavalo left with their arms full of ironing boards, and clothes drying racks. They were all heading for the same bus, for the 2 1/2 hour ride back to Otavalo. We can only hope that they were able to get all their goods on the bus. They were thrilled with their treasures.
It was a beautiful night in Quito, to share dinner with our Assistants Elders Squires (USA) and Samayoa (Guatemala) and our outgoing Assistant Elder Ducuara (Colombia). We also had our two office secretaries Elder Cloud (USA), and Elder Law (USA). It was a night to bid farewell to Elder Ducuara and Elder Otero (Argentina), we will miss these two fine missionaries.
At Academia Cotopaxi, Stephanie is on the swim team. Here she is with her friend Maya who is from Israel. She speaks English, Spanish, and Hebrew.
As we have started our new round of zone conferences, it has been a delight to see all of our missionaries again. Here is Hermana Groesbeck and Hermana Rose, our two nurses, teaching a stress relieving exercise routine, performed to the tune "Called to Serve".

We have loved your blog. We're so excited for you to meet our son, Elder Evenson, who is headed your way this coming Monday! Thanks for your service! Rick & Lisa Evenson
Well, I was wrong about former "Elder Hailstone" not being ready to get married. Brad took your advice about long engagements to heart Pres. and became engaged April 30th with a June 10th wedding date in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. They are very happy and we just adore her. They will make the journey through eternity a fun one. How quickly life moves on. One month a missionary, 4 months later a happy groom! How grateful we were to be able to visit with you in your lovely home and feel the spirit of the Ecuador, Quito mission. Viewing your blog brings back such wonderful memories of our experience there as we traveled throughout the mission. Thank you for your influence in our son's life. We will forever be blessed with stronger faith and testimony because of his mission and also by our opportunity to experience a little of it with him as a family.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Sue Hailstone
