Our First Spanish Assembly

This first picture is of Kello (obviously), Maxine in the red, and Courtney in the blue. The sister on the end had a nice conversation with Kel, but I didn't ever get her name.
This is Diana. I can't remember how many years she has been serving in Ecuador. But it's been a long time. She's a super sweet sister from Virginia originally.
This is Andrea. She's super sweet and lives in Puerto Cayo. She came up to me while I was waiting outside the womens restrooms. She does speak a bit of English. So slowly but surely she helped me understand a couple of basic questions in Spanish.
These two girls are Genesis and Ros...... I could not for the life of me understand her name. They were EXTREMELY energetic girls that spoke a mile a minute! It was almost impossible to understand what they were saying. But they were super friendly and sweet. And very excited to meet us!
This is Maria! She's so fun!! I can't understand what she is saying so she mimes things out for me with great enthusiasm. I already love her to bits!
This is Maxine with her "Novio" Joseph. Aka "Cougar Bait". lol.
This was after the assembly hall was all cleaned and everyone was leaving. Yes, behind us is the hall. It is open and absolutely beautiful!
These two girls were waiting patiently outside to get in. I do not remember the one on the lefts name, but the one with the dimples is Diana. She is super sweet! This little girl sought out Maxine to have a bible study! She's as smart as she is sweet.

On the left is me with my new pal Jonathan. We were sweeping out the kingdom hall on the back of the assembly hall. I've totally fallen in love with the kids here. There's so adorable! On the right is Luis. He's part of "the family" the has been collected by Maxine and Courtney.

Here are two friends I made on the first day of the assembly. The little boys name is Andi. He gave me a flower, TOO CUTE! And I wanted to steal this little girls hat. I didn't get her name. I don't think she ever spoke. But she gave Kel a flower.
