Elder Dallin Robertson is serving in the Quito Ecuador Mission as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Elder Robertson left on June 21, 2016 and will return sometime around June of 2018. Missionaries have a limited time to respond to all the E-mails and letters they receive so we will include here some of his letters home so that friends and family can keep up to date on how things are going for him and his ministry among the wonderful people of Ecaudor.

March 20th, 2017
Well, life here is good just a lot of rain. We got a little break today, it only rained for a few minutes. We have been finding a few people including a Jehova's Witness and two families that are nice. They are a little Catholic but they're good, nice people. Most days we are just contacting and no one wants to listen to us. They all think we don't believe in the bible and that we think Joseph Smith is our god. They don't believe us when we tell them otherwise. They are all Catholics and Jehova Witnesses, so it is hard, but some times they open up.
The video of the missionaries fighting? Yeah, I saw it. A less active showed it to us, it is fun, but we are a little scared that all the thug groups here are going to watch that video and try to take on the missionaries. I haven't had a problem yet, only a drunk trying to steal from us, but we just kept on walking.
AND, I got the package you guys sent me. I'm surprised it got here that fast, but I already ate everything. It was just so good I couldn't stop. I'm happy you guys thought of the suckers too, they were great. My shoes started falling apart, I sent pictures and then I got them fixed, for a dollar, so they're fine now.
My sector is not big. You could walk from one end to the other in 15 mins. It is nice and flat and we just walk everywhere, except to the zone meetings every Thursday, we take a bus. They are starting to put a subway in here. I don't know if I will ever get to ride it, we will see. They are working on it very fast and we think they are putting in a station by our house, we have been watching them build it.
I don't know when president leaves. I just know that, at the end of March, we get our knew one and president will still be here to train the new one. I think the new one is from Utah, but I don't know. Ellie's concert looked good. I was thinking when I get home we sing a song in Spanish for the ward.
I was just watching the video "Lessons I learned as a Boy." You guys should watch it for family night, I love it.
Other then that, life is great, and i love my Spanish, it is not perfect but I'm improving and talking a lot more. I love you all and hope you all have a great week. I sent Ellie the pics. Some are old and the last one I took today we had a zone BBQ it was fun. The food was alright, but the best I have had so far. Love you all, Hugs and kisses, :) Chiste no mas.
