It's hard to believe we are almost 2 months now in Ecuador! We're pretty much in a routine now ... service in the morning (service group is at 8:30) with afternoons spent going for almuerzo and free time to explore the city or relax. There is good support for service in the Laguna congregation. The territory is worked every 2-3 weeks and there are a lot of apt buildings with intercoms so it is tough that way, not talking face to face. Sometimes we run out of territory before the morning is finished. There are 82 publishers with 34 studies, not as many as other congregations in Cuenca who have 2-3 bible studies per publisher. We went to visit another meeting on Saturday, the Banos congregation and ithe KH was packed. They have only one elder, one less than Laguna with two.
We went to a lookoff on the other side of the city yesterday. Great view of the whole city of Cuenca.
We've decided to take a little vacation to Vilcabamba, a town about 4 hours south of Cuenca. There is a B&B down there run by a German couple and we have heard it is really nice and worth the trip. It is a lower elevation so warmer temps. We are planning on staying 3 nights. They have a pool and you can also go horseback riding and have a massage! Sounds very relaxing so we are looking forward to that. We are leaving tomorrow. Will report back when we return. Hasta luego.

Wow...sounds like there is a lot of interest there! makes us wonder what we are doing here??
We have friends in Brazil..and between the 2 of them they conduct about 25 studies plus. They are almost afraid to do regular door to door because they always start more studies and they cannot handle much more. They have to hand them over to others. They both also work at teaching English & French. They speak about 5 languages, so have no trouble existing down there. They love it & live like the locals. It sounds quite a bit like Ecuador.
Have a great 'holiday' and enjoy the pool, massage and relaxing!
Love the pics!
WCL: as always, John, June & Jean
