New Friends









Here are some pictures of some new (and old) friends of ours here. Upper left hand corner is Amy and Brigette, one of the girls from the soup kitchen we met last year. Upper middle pic is Greg, Steve and Katty (Steve's Ecuadorian daughter) enjoying a meal at a local joint. Note the size of the calzone in Greg's hand! Upper right pic is Amy and Katty. Lower left is Greg teaching some kids how to play pool at Steve and Micki's house. Lower right is a pic of our first dinner guests at our house this past Friday night- Veronica and her daughters Liseth and Andrea. Because of the language barrier, we laughed a lot and used the dictionary a lot! Bottom left hand is of Greg showing some of the soup kitchen kids some pictures of our family and friends in the U.S.

I love the pictures! I bet you two are having a ball with the kids. That must have been interesting with the language barrier. I'm sure you'll be fluent with Spanish before you know it Amy!...oh...and Greg. haha...keep taking pictures. There great!

I am so happy that I feel close to the Brills again. God bless technology! He can truly use anything to keep his "church" connected, ey?

Will Greg be able to keep up with his beloved Red Sox? If not, I know someone who'd love to give him a play-by-play!;-)

Wow,

That is the biggest calzone I've ever seen, but you definitely deserve it after that huge hike!

Glad to see your enjoying your time there too. No better way to teach and help than to have fun doing it! Hope all is well, stay healthy.

I guess there's no shortage of good food there between giant calzones and guinea pigs on a stick. I'm still waiting to hear from you to see if guinea pig tastes just like chicken. Thanks for being such a good photo poster, AMY!
Miss you,
Rob, Nikki and Jaedyn

Hey, a little italian cuisine mixed in with the gourmet guinea pig on a stick! Wow - what a variety. What exotic meal did you make for your company on Friday - How about a nice juicy ball park frank in a bun! Go Sox! Anyway, keep the pictures coming- they are so great! Love seeing those beautiful smiles (:.) Mom & Dad B
