L to R: Elder and Sister Vallejo, President and Sister Meza, President and Sister Espinoza (Tim's first counselor), President and Sister Vasquez (Tim's second counselor), President and Sister Angulo and President and Sister Baquerizo.

Our last Zone Leader Council dinner in the mission home May 31, 2011



We are with the wonderful family of President Villavicencio of the Coca

Branch deep in the Amazon region of the mission. We will miss this strong family, whose leadership has been key to the amazing growth of that branch.




A fun night with a few of our returned missionaries! We are so grateful that they made the effort traveling long distances to see us before we leave. L to R: Hermanos Cedeño, Monge, Solorzáno, Hermanas Hernandez, Delgado y Naugaulari









What a wonderful day - we had the whole mission together for a special conference with Elder Gonzales, Elder Hooker, and their wives. We had over 200 missionaries in the chapel at once. We will never forget this happy day!

















Our last Hermana's specialized training in May. We are so blessed

in this mission to have the best Hermanas in the world.



So lovely!




So fun and amazing- these Hermanas are a great example to me



Always something good to eat
