Today marks our 4th month of being in Ecuador! Time has passed quickly as we've been able to see and do so much. We continue to visit the soup kitchen during the week, helping out with homework and hanging with the kids. We have been trying to deepen our relationships with the children and their families so we frequently visit their houses and continue having sleepovers of massive proportions. We still help out with the youth church that meets on Sunday afternoons. In the mornings before the soup kitchen, we are helping with administrative work. Friday is our day off and we usually spend those days exploring new parts of Quito. We continue to study our Spanish daily to better communicate with the people we work closest with.
This year will be a busy one for us as March-July we have many medical and Happy Feet teams coming from the U.S. We will be travelling with them to various parts of Ecuador to minister to the people there. We are also prayerfully awaiting the funds to complete the second soup kitchen- currently it is 50% complete. If it is completed before we leave, Greg and I will be helping to get it up and running. On a personal note, we are looking forward to our first visitors; our friend, Vasanti, from AZ is coming in Feb., and both sets of our parents are coming in May! We may have to bust out the guinea pig in celebration!

I can't believe it's been 4 months! Wow - God surely has been good to both of you during that time. We're still praying that we can be added to your list of visitors :)
We are so glad to be on your list of visitors! Can't wait to spend the week with you in May and we know it will come quickly. Just as a side note: please don't go out of your way to create any special recipes that include Guinea Pig - But thanks anyway. :) Talk soon. Love, Mom & Dad B.
Has it really only been 4 months? Why does it feel like you have been down there for like 10 years? I'd really like to see some pictures of the Brills and the Gatcheks sinking their big choppers into some delicious guinea pig so please keep that on the agenda. :)
How incredible-4 months! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us along the way! And, if there happens to be a guinea pig shortage during my stay (so excited!), I mean, for your sake I'd be bummed, but I think we could get through it =) Blessings!
