We had a baptism this week. The cool part is
that since we don't have a chapel, we baptized in the river (: There are so
many rivers here, it is incredible. The main big ones are really kind of dirty,
but taking back roads and walking a little it is easy to find pristine rivers.
The baptism was of 2 kids of a less active member, sister Lara, and her
husband, Geovanny Rovalino, who is not a member. He lived part of his life in LA
and loves to speak english with me. We had a little barbeque afterward to
celebrate. I found a gecko and a tucan...pretty cool.
On Friday we had a training meeting in Ambato, the chocolate capitol of the world, We had to wake at 4:00am to get showered and make it there by 10:00. My companion and I slept in Puyo which is a bit closer. Elder Condori, from Peru, came back with me to Tena and my companion, Elder Borroel, stayed in Puyo. Elder Condori and I cleaned out the study room on Sunday. Funny thing, Sunday were the national elections and President Ghent saw it fit that all the missionaries stay inside. It is an obligation to vote, and it has to be done in one's home province, so there was only the first hour of church services so that everyone could travel to their destinations to "sufragar", like the word suffrage in english. So after the one hour of church, we came home and we weren't allowed to leave...so we organized things and put all the books into a busted bookcase that we found and cleaned.
We also baked the Cinnamon Cake mix you sent me
Love, Elder Blackwelder
