Ecuador 2007 - Part Two

Sorry it took so long to post more Ecuador memories but here they are... And boy what a memory is the first picture! This was the wonderful and delicious lunch after church on Sunday in Montalvo where we spent the week with the medical team and in VBS.

I think I've started a yearly tradition of a picture with some of the awesome kids at the end of a great day, utterly exhausted but joyful in the Lord for all that He was doing! Aren't they absolutely beautiful?

I mentioned in the Part One Posting that we participate in 3 ministries while we are there - medical clinic, construction and VBS. Here's a great picture at the medical clinic of our trip leader and my very good friend, Jennifer Miller, with one of our translators during the week, the sweet and generous-of-heart Carlos!! Now we had fun captioning these types of pictures and we think this one is:

Jennifer - Um... what are they saying?

Carlos (thinking carefully)- Um... how am I going to translate this woman's condition? (Keyword being WOMAN's condition).

:-)

Here are Margaret and Phyliss at the "pharmacy", aka table of goodies!

Our VBS craft room for the week - Jody (in the hat) and Lark (in the pink shirt) helped the kids so much!

We take a picture every year on the actual Equator so here's all 18 of us (if you click on the picture and make it big, you can appreciate fully the sisterly bond between Caroline and Anna!).

And saving the best for last, here's our group with the special people from Montalvo Baptist Church. Please do click on this picture and make it big so you can see the beautiful scarves that they made for us and presented to us on the last night!

Hello to all our friends in Ecuador! We miss you and can't wait to see you next summer!!
