Hola amigos y familia! As of September 2007, we will be spending one year serving in Quito, Ecuador. We will be working alongside our missionary friends, Steve & Micki Herrmann, founders of the nonprofit Christian organization, Workers in the Harvest. We'll be assisting them with running soup kitchens, hosting short term mission teams, and caring for the local children. We are excited to share with you what God is doing during our time in Ecuador. Thanks for all of your support!!

Dinner Time!
Mmmm....who needs marshmellows when you can have GUINEA PIG!?
The locals prepare roasted guinea pigs over an open fire. Did you know guinea pigs are considered cuisine for royalty in Ecuador? There's food for thought.....
Ok, how about a little warning next time!!!! Mice on a stick was tolerable in Africa, but that picture of the poor, hairless guinea pigs in the pot just about threw me over the edge. Did you eat them?
that is gross! I remember all the other gross things, but that?!! EWW! have you had snot fruit yet? could you have a bite for me. PLEASE tell Steve and micki that I said hello!!! :O) I miss them!!! I love you guys and I'm so glad that you are doing so well!
AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE tell me you did not eat them!! hahaha... remember my pet guinea pigs, they would be so appalled :) I love your blog, it's so fun to get updates and hear how you are doing. I am thinking about you all the time!
Amy Rose!!!! I was eating a homemade apple pie when I went to your blog and somehow that pie was not the same after seeing those poor little guinea pigs!! It was great talking to you tonight.Sounds like all is going great. Happy birthday greg. miss you both!

Okay - we knew this was coming - I think we'll pass on the guinea pic thank you. We'll stick to chicken! Mom & Dad B.
