Mothers day here in Ecuador is more like mothers weekend. On Friday the school here Luz Del Evangelio a big fiesta for the moms. This included games, gifts, and cake. It was so cool to see all the moms and some grandmas of the kids!

Then on Saturday night the church had a banquet for mothers. This was really awesome because a handful of people invited their non believing mothers, who really got to see examples of Godly love and Christian fellowship. I was really excited because the next day one of the mothers that was a non believer visted the church!

And Sunday morning I got breakfast in bed pancakes (Bela stirred the batter) and fresh oranges and bananas (like right off of the tree fresh!)!

It was a great first mothers day, and a great opportunity to minister!

Hey everyone!  We have been hanging out in Quito a little longer than expected because today Bela has some nasty diareah, and food was just going right through her.  We went to the doctor to have her looked at (only $8 !) and he did not see anything wrong, but wants to do a stool sample to be sure.  She has gotten some medicine, and lots of pedalyte.  So far she seems to be doing better but pray for her and for me ( I hate seeing my baby in pain).  We appreciate it.

So today I experienced the normal way to travel in Ecuador if there aren’t enough seats in the back of the car / truck, putting a mattress in the truckbed (Which is usually optional) and riding to your destination! (Photo Comming soon!) So I was in enjoying it a whole bunch the fresh air, talking to a friend (all in Spanish!), and looking at all the scenery . It wasn’t until later when someone asked why I was so red and then I realized sitting in the back of the truck I got sun burnt…. Ouch.

The trip we took today was to the bigger city called Santo Domingo, its across the equator, and about 45 min away form La Concordia. It’s where most people do their shopping. Rob needed to find prices on what it would take to build a server down here for the school so that they can back students up!( Any questions he can explain better) I was just getting stuff for our bathroom and for Bela!

Thank you all for your prayers it’s great stop think when I am just sitting quietly knowing so many people are praying for us! God bless you all!

So we did it ……. No God did it! God brought all funds in! I thank you all who were led by God to join are prayer team and partner with us through a financial gifts! We are really feeling excited now especially since God has taken away the worries of finances!

I also ask for prayers for us during this time of finishing touches of packing! It can be a little stressful for me because I want to make sure I have everything I need for Bela , but Not knowing all I need because of not being down there.

Thank you all for your support again!

One Monday evening Rob and I went to meet with Valley Christian Church’s Global outreach committee. We were expecting that they wanted us to just tell them about our plans for our trip, well we surprised… the committee decided that they would be giving us a large gift! We are so thankful for all the blessing’s coming in.

We also have a very large prayer team now! which is so awesome to know that we have people praying for us all over the place! Especially since this is our first time going down as a whole family!

Thank you every one who has blessed us with encouragement!
