The Puerto Cayo Congregation was invited to the zone visit in Guayaquil, which was held in an open air soccer stadium, and about 40,000 people were in attendance. We left our house at 4:45am to catch a bus in the town center at 5am. The whole congregation hired a bus to take us to Guayaquil which is about 3hours away. It was so hot and humid at the stadium because it had rained the day before, yet you have to give credit to how good the kids were during the program. Ok I have to admit that the adults need some credit for this one too, because even with an umbrella you were still dripping in sweat from the heat and humidity!
All in all it was pretty encouraging to spend time with our brothers and sisters enjoying their friendship and knowing that for many paying the few dollars for each person in their family to take a bus to Guayaquil was a huge expense for them. Yet they viewed this spiritual privilege as something they did not want to miss.
