| Me and my darling companion |
This will be a shorter update this week because we just went out to Sand's Point Reserve to see some castles and walk along a super cool wall on the beach. Definitely worth the $10 entry price. It's fun to walk around history and spend time with one's district. We picked up shells and rocks, played frisbee, and enjoyed the cool and refreshing day.
Well, first scary thing that happened this week was Hermana McDowell getting hit by a car. It was a rainy day and we decided to park at home. We walked over to a look up for a less active and a car was going by at around 25-30 miles per hour. I was in the middle of the road, and Hermana McDowell was walking in a side road between the sidewalks. One would have thought she would be more safe, but the car turned at the last second and ran straight into her. I stopped (still in the middle of the road) and gaped. She had luckily managed with her quick soccer genes to jump up on top of the car and most of the impact was on her wrist. But still! I was a bit shell shocked. It's hard to watch your companion het hit by a car when you can't do anything. But she ended up alright thank goodness.
Our investigator Allan Poe said his friends notice a difference in him now. He is making so much progress. It is so amazing seeing people change through the gospel.
We were at a member's house whose family friend from Ecuador was staying. And, I am happy to say we now have a place to stay in Ecuador near Quito with the indigenous people of Ecuador! I look forward to one day visiting.

Funny stories:
Hermana McDowell left her keys in the apartment accidentally so I grabbed them for her without her noticing as we closed the door. Then as we were walking down the stairs I noticed a rather bulky object in her arm. "Hermana?" I tentatively asked. "You're taking your pillow?" She paused, breathed in, and headed back up the stairs. And shook her head and laughed coming back down. I guess it was just one of those days!
But then the next day we got to an apartment complex and as we walked up to the elevator she didn't push the 'up' button as I anticipated. Rather, she knocked on the elevator. I was a bit startled, and a few thoughts entered my mind. Does someone live in the elevator? It *is* a bit ghetto, is knocking on it the only way to get it to open? I then saw the shadow come over her face as she realized what she just did. It, needless to say, was an accident. I'm worried the car running into her had more of an negative impact than she expected.
