No Pain, No Gain, Nothing But Rain

I know this is probably hard to see, but it is the rain we received very suddenly one afternoon.

Elder W. hobbled down with the camera to the entrance of our apartment building. The drops of rain were HUGE. Quito gets more rain in one month than we get in one year in Las Vegas. I wish I could bring some home, we always need more water. We can't wait for what they call spring. It has supposedly already started, but I have not seen it yet. I am really ready for some warm weather.

Elder W. did something to his left ankle (post batman experience) it is still very, very sore. He finally agreed to go to the orthopedic Dr. Bravo! I got some sort of virus on Thursday last week. It affected my balance, and thought process. Now I know you all think I'm a little daffy anyway, but it was really bad. If anyone had seen me walk, they would think I had too much to drink. I went to the Mission Dr. and he told us what he thought, gave me two prescriptions and we came home. In two days what a difference, I am so much better.

Elder W. has been helping to restructure the Mission Office. It was

a horrible mess before. Very, very disorganized, dirty and not pleasant to work in. This is a picture of the Mission President's office. It is beautiful. We get a new Mission President in July, Tim Sloan is his name. He works for the Church in the Welfare Dept. Because we worked a little with him during our last Misson, Elder W. has been in contact with him and what he would like in his office. It will be a good change, the Mission needs some new direction.

This is only one photo of the new office, none of us can believe the difference. It is a very calm place now.

Today is the second day that we have had no rain. I am soooooo happy. The sun actually brighened the sky today for most of the day. But no rain!

So when Elder W's ankle is healed, the sun is shinning a few more days in a row, and the Senior Missionaries are back into their new office, things will be great.

Serving here is a great pleasure. We are so happy to be in the Lord's service whenever or wherever we are called.

Love you all tons, miss you lots.

Until I write again,

Hermana W.
