Hey family
I just have a few minutes to write here. We are in the sector right now. It is a bus ride of about 25 minutes outside of Otavalo. Its a BEAUTIFUL little city here tucked into the HUGE surrounding mountains and volcanos. I don't know if I´ve ever had such a big sector though, well to be honest, I'm sure I´ve never had such a big sector. The two wards here are Cotacachi and Carabuela. It is one big mountain to the other, and everything there in between and all around. I hope you get the jest of it. We met my bishop when we got to the house. He went to Yellowstone a couple of years ago with his family, so I invited him to the house for his next family trip. Kelly Klingler and Bishop Klingler came here to my ward the summer that I got my call. Kelly has a mission companion here in my ward, Elder Tabi. Talking with my companion he let me know a little about the sector. Every Sunday meeting is spoken in Kichwa (not quichwa). And here in our sector, if we contact any Latins, we have to send the reference to other missionaries, we can only teach indigenous! So I have to start to learn the language here. The majority of the people nowadays speak Spanish as well, but all of the old people only speak their native language. So this is going to be quite an adventure for me, I'm going to hopefully learn a lot. Physically and spiritually this is a tough sector. Next week I will hopefully have some pictures to send home in an e-mail so you can all see what its like here.
Love you all!
