Our first Ecuadorian baptism

This Saturday, we attended a baptism of some people from Pastor Emerson's church. Pastor Emerson is the one in the water on the left. Our missionary friend, Steve is the white guy (in case you couldn't guess). They used a local mountain spring as the baptizing spot. We loved the older woman worshipping.

Our first miracle

Here is a picture of 10 year old girl that attends the soup kitchen. Last week, she fell off a 100ft cliff near her house while playing. She fell to the bottom on rocks and it took the fire department 2 hours to get to her. She was taken to the hospital and was told she had a hairline pelvic fracture. We visited her on Wednesday and Amy was able to do some P.T. exercises with her. She is now walking around normal without a scratch on her body and with very little pain. Amazing!

Our first week

Our first week in Ecuador has been a great one! We've spent most of our time visiting different parts of the city with Steve, our missionary friend and host. Here are some pictures of the soup kitchen we will be helping with. It is open M-F in the afternoons when kids are finished with school. For many of them, it is the only good meal they have all day. Right now, about 170 kids attend each day.
