After and the party and many tearful goodbyes Emily and I waved farewell to the Jenn and Anna. On Tuesday the 10th of February they headed back to the states.
This Sunday I will return to Quito. I need to register my visa (I just learned I have about a week or I will be fined) and then I will start my work with Isaiah 61 Ministries. I will miss the people here but am grateful for the time that I had.
Thank you everyone for your support and your prayers!
Please continue to pray for safety, health and His Spirit to shine through me despite cultural and language barriers.

The overview (first leg of the race)… Since I arrived in Guayaquil I have had the wonderful opportunity of seeing people that I have not seen for nearly five years. I have visited with old friends and met some new ones…
After about a week a team arrived from East Auburn Baptist church…
With the group… On the 3rd of February Bill Legere, Anna Cousineau and Jenn arrived. We spent the next few days working on the foundation. We met with Pastor Dario, a lawyer and possible candidates for the program.
With the group minus Bill… Once Bill left all the girls got ready for Betsy’s quinceñera. A Quinceñera is the year that a young girl turns fifteen. It is similar to sweet sixteen in the US but it is much more important and rich with tradition. There is family, food and a lot of pink (sorry Bill that you missed out)

Hello friends,
Greetings from the 36ºC tropical weather of Guayaquil, Ecuador!
It’s hard to believe that people are experiencing winter right now. (My deepest sympathies are with those living in the Northeast). It is also hard to believe that it has already been three weeks since I first arrived in the country. I have experienced and learned so much in the short amount of time. Scroll down to read more about it…
The short and quick… Well, in the short time I have been here I have traveled a lot. I started my journey in Quito. Quito is the capital of Ecuador and city where my flight arrived. I stayed there for two days then went to Puyo which is about a 5 hour drive away. From Puyo to Baños and then back again. I stayed in Puyo for about a week and helped a good friend prepare for her wedding. Then I drove back to Quito, stayed there for two days and left for Guayaquil (a 9 hour bus drive away) and have now been in Guayaquil for about two weeks. On Sunday I return to Quito… Are you confused yet?
