Mark and I went to serve in Ecuador as needgreaters in 2008. Our daughter Amanda joined us in 2010 and is serving in the Chinese group in Cuenca. Aaron, our son has also taken on the challenge of learning the language and culture of this beautiful land and arrived in July 2011.
We had to return to New Zealand in 2012 but have arranged things to be able to return to Ecuador August 2013

Needgreaters Anonymous Meeting
We had lunch with these two families on Thursday and because Becky interviewed us for her Blog site - we returned the favor.
All these folks have been very encouraging and supportive of us and we are thankful to have found such good friends.
Love the video meeting becky and your new neighbours too, As Maureen and I aggreed you are doing fine, things are looking up for the both of you! Maureen mentioned the kids are at loving it at Pioneer school, Wow what joy they must be to your hearts because you have helped them with their spiritual tools! Keep the bloggs coming Amigos I just cant get enough, They are funny, tearful and especially faith strengthning when the going gets TOUGH!!! arohanuixxxx
Actually the Rulla family are our neighbors and we should be in their congregation - we will wait till the co comes though to discuss moving. Becky and Mark are in another congo again. We all use the same hall though so that gives you an idea about how close they are.
Hi Alice and Terry - nice to get your comments as always xxx
I used to be a need greater in the El Cabo congregation but I left Ecuador in 1998. I also served in La Toma, Loja and Quero, Tungurahua congs. I've completely lost touch with the friends in these halls... if anyone can update me on how things are going there, I'd appreciate it. Lance - eljee6741@yahoo.com
Hello. Great Blog. I am interested in the needgreater service. Wanted to know if you can give me an Idea of what monthly expenses are like for a needgreater living in the countryside or small town? Thank for your help. Candace
Hi Candace Cuenca is the most expensive placein Ecuador to live and one day we will have to downsize and go out to a smaller country town. The only problem with that is we would need a car! So we probably spend around $800 USD a month as a family of 3 but this could be halved if we lived anywhere else! Maybe we will meet you here some day? Saludos a todos en su congregation!
Hi Lance Sorry to say I have no idea where these congos are - but if I come across anyone from them I will get the info for you. Saludos de Arenal, Cuenca
I have read your comments and wanted to know if you can assist? My husband and I are "moving over into Macedonia" so to speak! We have looked at Puerto Cortez, Honduras and other countries like Ecuador,Chili,Panama. Does anyone have any ideas for us? We have written the branch (US) and awaiting a return letter. Our income will be $1200 or so a month. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RESPOND TO MY EMAIL. bdavidsonpilot@yahoo.com Any ideas are welcome! Your Brother and Sister in OKLAHOMA
