Special delivery


Cherry sours from a dear friend made my day a little sweeter!

Special visitors

On May 31, my cousins, Parker and Lacie LiaBraaten, arrived in Quito.  The following day, they traveled with one of the friends up to Ipiales, where we joined up in the evening.  Here's their "We're all ready for our adventure!" picture taken in Missouri pre-departure.


Whose stuff is that?!?!

Packing to leave the field is always an adventure!



Beautiful promise

On Thursday, May 24, a small group of us traveled to Ipiales to begin our season of Special Meeting rounds.  This created a nice beginning.



Looks like that's worth eating!


May 22 - Guayaquil to Quito

As I recall, this trip ended up being about 11 hours door to door.  I was quite ready for bed when I arrived at my destination!

Guess I must be missing Ecuador a little!  It was hard for me to narrow down the trip pictures.  Guess I'll just subject you to a bunch of them!  :-)

Ah..... Quito!

Let's play our favorite game..... Catch Up!

Several people asked me if I'm still blogging.  The answer is.....yes.  I have not given up on blogging entirely, but somehow circumstances the last while have not been conducive to actually doing it.  My record of all the things that have happened during the last few months is quite sketchy, but I'll do a bare-bones summary and then try to do better in coming days.  :-)  Thanks for your patience.
