We had a busy day today, starting with service in the morning. It was a good time, and one of my favorite moments was AJ at a driveway, standing and listening to his service partner, an adorable 12 year-old little brother, trying to reason with a very passionate gentleman. As me and my friend Mimi are approaching them, so is a delightful little (AJ says sizable) rooster. Maybe you had to be there, but it was such a sight to see this fluffy white bird clucking its way to AJ; knowing that he´s trying to stand there and look like he knows Spanish (and also that he´s very used to having roosters walk down the street that way). So it clucked and pecked its way right up to AJ (I didn´t know that roosters ´sniffed´people), and AJ very deftly did a little dance that got the bird away from his portion of the sidewalk.
After our morning, we got a lot done in the way of obtaining internet service (YAY!), thanks to our translators and friends Ivan and Mimi. We actually have a team of translators at our service, Mark and Becky McCleskey being on that team, as they show us the ropes of Cuenca as well. We are so grateful to Jehovah for our dear friends!
We don´t have our internet yet however, so off we go from the internet cafe...it´s been an hour and a half and that´s $1.20!!

We´re here!!!
We finally arrived in Cuenca! We don´t have the internet in our apartment yet, so for now there won´t be many updates to our blog. Hopefully next week we´ll have it set up.
Things are going well, and we really love the area and our apartment. We have our Congregation Bible Study, Service Meeting and Theocratic Ministry School tonight at 7:30. Normally our big meeting is on Tuesday, but our Kingdom Hall is under construction, so we´re meeting at a different hall on a different schedule. Our Sunday Public Talk and Watchtower Study is at 10:45 a.m.
Next Wednesday we´ll be traveling to Guayaquil to pick up our friend Michelle who will be staying with us for three months. We´ll be going to the English District Convention at the Branch Friday through Sunday next week. We can´t wait! Our Spanish District Convention is in September.
I´m at the internet cafe right now by our apartment. I´m off to finish getting ready for the meeting...
Until next time, take care!
