We all (minus Kate) ate Cuy, an Ecuadorian delicacy. (Also known as Guinea Pig)

God is good!

After a short rest, we drove to Ambato for the big "Desfile de Frutas y Flores!" (Fruit and Flower Parade) Little did we know that spray foam was a big deal here...especially for gringos...

We had such a fun time, as you can tell!

The next day, Kate and I took the bus back to Macas, because I had to teach school. Chris and Miles left on a bus to take Chris back to Quito to fly back home.

What a wonderful week we had!!! Thank you so much Kate and Chris!!
Love you dearly!!


Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement! The Lord is so good, always.

May you recognize His blessings in every part of your life, for He always brings good.

Que Dios le bendiga!
