So we've been here 9 months now and our cravings for the things we once knew are getting stronger. Not to mention its been a rough couple of weeks: I watched my friend, Kathryn who was visiting, get assaulted and mugged as we were walking to the bus stop, Greg was attacked in several places by a dog a couple of days ago requiring a visit to the hospital and stitches, and we are physically tired from long days with teams. So, we thought we'd make a light hearted posting about some of the things we miss the most since we've been in Ecuador. Most of these things are food, because after 9 months chicken and rice is not as great as it used to be. Now, we know that in eternal perspective, these things don't matter, but they sure do make life enjoyable! So here they are (not in any particular order) 1. Camping at Lake Powell (photo)
2. Delux burgers (those in Phoenix know what we are talking about)
3. Our bed! (We've been sleeping on twin mattresses pushed together.)
4. Barnes and Nobles
5. Our church, City of Grace!!!
6. Playing tennis
7. Silk chocolate soy milk (amy)
8. Having dinner with our friends, Steph and Alan (they cook for us a lot!)
9. Rollerblading
10. Watching a sport other than futbol
11. Tabouli, Hummus, Bruchetta
12 AZ blue skies
13. Driving (greg)
14. Jamba Juice smoothies
15. The gym (we have lost lots of muscle)
16. Coldstone ice cream
17. Starbucks coffee (greg)

awww.... We're going to make sure that your first week back we do as many of these things are possible!!! We miss you guys.
What can we say to encourage you! This is a very melancholy message and sad in some respects. We are so sorry about Kathryn - we didn't know she got mugged while she was there. Well, a little over two months and you'll be sinking your teeth into some great USA food! In the mean time take a few trips over the TGIF's in the Mall and have something there. Maybe Quesadilla's? They are pretty good there. We'll keep you in our prayers as always and remember, keep looking up! Love, Mom & Dad B.
Those things will all be there for you when you get back. So glad you both are safe and sound again. We love you Brills! We'll continue to pray for you.
Hi Amy&Greg, Sorry to hear about Katherine, glad she didn't get seriously hurt. Think of you often and send prayers as much as possible. The work you're doing is fantastic and the kids look so happy. Also glad to hear Greg is healing well. Looking forward to seeing you in Sept. and lots of cookouts in Ct. or Arizona or RI too. Just thinking of all you have accomplished is amazing. Lots of prayers and good wishes to you both. Love, Grandma Joan
I can't wait to see you guys when you are back in Sept... and you forgot one thing, PAUL'S PASTA!!! We'll definitely make a trip there when you are in CT:) And I can't wait to see the little Pavita too! Maybe we can also hit up the Dairy Bar at UConn, yummmmmm. Okay, now I'm just hungry!
Hugs,
KB
I cant believe you will be home soon and I can only imagine how awesome it will be to enjoy so many of the things you miss!! I'm glad to hear Greg is healing and hopefully will be able to join the teams soon.
