9/19/11 from Banos Ecuador

Hola Family! I am here in my area of Baños Ecuador! It is beautiful. I really cant use other words to describe it. Its a kind of a touristy town that is at the base of a volcano. President Ghent said that it erupts about every 4 months and the last time was in April. So its about due for another Eruption. Dont worry there is a mountain that shields the town and I guess they are use to it. Today for PDay we went to see a beautiful huge waterfall. The tran here is like jungle. I think you guys would really love it here. I really think I have been blessed to be sent here and to have my companion. We have been here for 5 days now. We have been contacting a ton because both me and my companion are new  to the area. Oh yeah my companions name is Hermana Jaramillo. She is from Ecuador and she is awesome. She is very paceint with my language and is a super example to me. She only has until December left on the mission then she is done.Crazy! I guess after the mission she wants to go to BYU. So I have been helping her learn English. It has been a nice trade.  We will have to see what president does after she leaves because we are the only missionaries in this area. Hopefully I will have a handle on things by then. We have come in contact with four families that look to be very promising. Sorry I dont really have much time to write. We need to go to an appointment. It sounds like all is very good at home. Thank you for all of you letters and emails.
