Quito is great, it is a very beautiful place. It's pretty chilly here, it rains a lot and I need to put on a sweater when the sun goes down. There are a lot of people here and they are very friendly. My new companion's name is Elder Mora, who is from Lima, Peru and he has been out around 15 months. I have been very tired this week, We cover a pretty big area so to go between appointments we might have to walk 2 miles between houses. I have been so used to riding in a car and not walking 10 miles every day, but life is great, I miss Ajo so much, but I am getting used to it here. I also have been a little sick this week.
We are in South Quito in a city called Turubamba. We are whitewashing this area, so that's my third one in a row. There are 4 missionaries who cover our area, the zone leaders and me and my companion. 3 of us are new so the Bishop asked us to come and share where we are from and a brief testimony. I went up and I probably talked for a couple of minutes. Everyone was so shocked and really impressed with how well I speak. It's crazy how much Spanish I have picked up on in one week. I don't have a lot of time to write each week. More to come next week.
Lots of love,
Elder Rich
