The last pictures are of a Nativity Scene and the entire life of Christ that a woman has been working on for 30 years. Each pieces is either knitted or crocheted even the birds, ducks and fish. She is the one that we took a picture of standing next to her display. It took her 2 weeks to set it up. It is beautifuly.

Tungurahua erupting
We finally caught Tungurahua erupting this week. We were in Ambato at Zone conference and we were inspecting apartments on Tuesday. While inspecting one apartment one of the Elders yelled at us to come and look out the window. Sure enough Tungurahua was going at it.
When we got home the next evening we seen a night video of it on TV and it looked like fireworks were shooting up.
A women we know that lives in Rio Bamba which is just South of Ambato said that they felt an earthquake last evening.
At any rate enjoy.

The Amazon Jungle
Nosotros tenamous fotos nuevo por ustedes a mira a.
The Mission President opened up a new area in the mission and created a branch in Coca. This is a city of about 80,000 people that is located Southeast of Quito about 300 miles. It sits on the edge of the Amazon Jungle.
There are two rivers that go around the city. They are the Napo River and The Coca River. These two rivers converge into one and then empty into the Amazon River about a 100 miles East.
We have two Elders in Coca and the President asked us to fly over and find an apartment for them and to furnish it.
These pictures are of our adventure over there and in a small way tell the story of what we seen.
The branch is small, about 60 members and the meetings are held in a house that was donated to the Church by a very wealthy man whose wife is a member. Our meeting on Sunday was very humble. Hermana Curtis offered prayer in two meetings and I offered prayer in one meeting.

Pictures of Banos a little city that sits in the bottom valley with volcanos all around, A man pulling taffy, One of our Senior missionaries eating Qwee (Guinea Pigs this is a delicacy here in Ecuador. How could anyone eat our pets) Also you see them how they are cooked. Also, many more photos. No we are not on vacation down here. We work an average of 10-12 hrs. a day and travel 75% of our time to cities all over in Northern half of Quito. Next week we are going to La Coca which is on the edge of the Amazon Jungle to find an apartment and furnish it for two missionaries that just started there. We will send you pictures of that when we get back.

Promise made to Quito Ecuador by President Kimball
We went to the Panecillo yesterday as a Sr. Missionary Group and Office Assistants and after touring around we found a grassy area that overlooked the South end of the Quito valley. It is a hill in the middle of Quito, Ecuador with the Panecillo or special Angel standing on top and looking over the city. We sat down and Hermana G. read this event and then we bore our testimonies. It was a very special day for us and so we wanted to share it with all of you.
Mas Fotos!
Here are more photos looking down from the Panceillo on Quito as well as photos of Banos which is at the foot of Tungerhaua the most active volcano in Ecuador. The meat that Elder Ward is eating is Kwee which is Guinee Pig. This is a treat here in Ecuador. Also, a man pulling taffy. Two indigenous women walking down the street, Note how they plant crops right up the sides of the mountains.
