Alli puncha panigokuna y waukigokuna, Ñuka kani Elder Nielson, Nukanikani Estados unidos llacta manda, kani 20 añuta charini, villa chikuna kani yios pashi mita. That's kichwa. I'm learning a ton here in compania seeing how that's what they speak here. There isn't a whole ton of Spanish here. There are many who speak it, but the dominant language is Kichwa. I'm determined to learn it in my time here. I presented myself in Kichwa in one of our wards yesterday. That was cool. We work in two wards here so it's a little complicated, but it is super cool here. Otavalo is super legit. I'm literally working with the very same descendants of the Lamanites. It's so cool! This is the very people of the B of M. They are the coolest people ever. They are the most peaceful people ever haha. This week we got attacked by two ducks. They charged us and I was a little confused at first because I'd never seen a duck charge somebody but then they started trying to bite us so my comp and I took off running with two ducks hot on our tail haha. We escaped though. It was good. I live right by the lake San Pablo. It's so blue and behind us we have a big volcano named the volcano Imbabura. The volcano is cool because it has a heart carved into it. I'll send a pic. There is a hole in the shape of a heart right on the side of the mountain. It's cool. The weather is pretty cool here. It's nice. We have the best house in the mission pretty much. We have a super hot gas shower with so much water pressure that it feels like jets. It's so nice. We have a washer and dryer that the owner let's us use free. She is a member. We have the best view in the mission of lake San Pablo. At like seven the sun sets over the lake and a mountain right behind and it's like pink. It looks like a painting, It's the coolest thing ever. My sector is so cool. It is a sector that hasn't had an investigator progressing for 6 months. But this last Sunday we broke that streak and we are looking to build up the sector hard. This is my last sector so I get to put into practice all that the last 19 months have taught me. It should fun. I'm super excited. Everything is so cool here. I'm also glad to be a DL instead of a ZL. I'm going to train a new elder in my last changes. It should be fun. My comp and I get along well. We are doing well. He is a little newer, but we are doing great work out here. He's a super good guy. It will be a great change. I'm super happy about everything. I'll send pics. I love you guys. Kayakaman!!
