The EGSM President is going to Speak to Us!

Good news! We just got confirmation this morning that the current Mission President for the Guayaquil South Mission and his wife will be able to come to our reunion on Sunday! We are so excited to have Pres. Montalti speaks to us about how the work is going in Ecuador. This reunion will be in Ecuador on Sunday, June 5th.

Packing Tips

This is mainly for the wives and family members who haven't traveled to Ecuador...

*Don't forget to pack for both hot and chilly weather. It will be hot in Guayaquil where the reunions and service are. And it will be jeans and sweatshirt weather if you travel to Quito or Cuenca. That was a surprise to me so I thought I'd pass it along.

*Ecuador uses regular outlets like in the US so don't worry about adapters.

*There are grocery stores and pharmacies everywhere so don't stress--yes, you can buy almost anything down there. Maybe not your favorite brand, but the basic necessities are all there.

*Bring a small day pack or bag to carry water, a gronola bar, your camera, etc. on the service days. You'll be gone all day.

* Yes, the temple does rent clothing.
