Elliot and Fleming arrived in Ecuador on February 21, 1952. They first lived in [[Quito]], the capital city, where they completed their Spanish training. Then they moved into the jungles on the eastern side of the [[Andes Mountains]]. These lands make up the headwaters of the [[Amazon River]]. Here they used an abandoned Shell Oil Company base, Shandia, as their mission outpost, where they ministered to [[Quechua]] Indians]].

Soon after his arrival in Ecuador, Elisabeth Howard arrived as well as a single missionary. After careful consideration, Elliot abandoned his previous convictions regarding celibacy. They were married on Jim's birthday in 1953, and after a brief honeymoon in [[Panama]] and [[Costa Rica]], they returned to Shandia to work as a couple. Fleming was also married a short time later and relocated to another mission station.
