What to say, what to say. . .

Sorry it has been so long since I have written, we had a hail storm the last time I tried to write, and so things were not working well. . .

Things are still as busy as ever here.

This past Saturday Bre and I went to a woman, by the name of Staci, house. She is a missionary and right now her full time job is to take care of 3 orphan girls - Nati, Josi, and Flora. She is not married and is quite overwhelmed. She is with them 24-7 with no breaks. Also, Flora is special needs. All three girls are beautiful, and Staci is doing a great job. So this Saturday was our first day helping her, and we will be there every Saturday to help her and give her a break - some days she will stay with us and others she will go out, she says this is an answer to her prayers, praise the Lord!

This Sunday I went to church, and between the Spanish I understood and Bre translating some it was good. The pastor preached out of Galations, lol to anyone who is in the Middle School at Haven since we just finished Galations, and it was about walking in freedom in Christ. :-D After church, that night we had a girls night, Bre, Jenna, Becky (the wife of the couple we are working with), the ladies we live with, and I. It was a lot of fun, and Bre, Jenna and I made an American meal, and let me tell you that garlic bread was strong!!!! lol

On Monday we woke up and Bre, Jenna and I headed out to the orpanange called For His Children. When we got there Bre went to an older kids house while Jenna and I headed to the baby house, those of you who know me can imagine my joy! I ended up taking care of an infant named Moyses basically the entire time I was there. He was probabally about 4 monthes old. I just wanted to steal him away, and this other little girl (maybe 1-2 months old) Assisatu away. . . God knows my heart, lol. I will be going back this coming Monday, and it has to be one of my favorite things I have done while being here. . .

Tuesday morning bright and early around 6:30 am, we got up and headed to South Quito. Byron, the husband of the couple we are working with, dropped Bre and I off at a "bilingual" school to help teach English. Please keep us in your prayers we will be there each tuesday to help. The one class doesnt even have books to study with, and the English teacher hardly speaks english herself, and desperatly wants our help. We talk English with the kids and help with classes all day. Please pray for open doors to share the Gospel. It is a Catholic school. Then we headed to Ashley´s, a friend of Bre´s and we will be living with her until we go back to the North on Friday. . .

Prayer Requests:
- The Continual leading of the Holy Spirit for myself and for Bre as we minister and live life here. - Health, the pollution has been kinda rough which can make breathing rather interesting. . .
- La Libertad Youth Ministry, Bre is preaching this Thursday
- Staci and the girls (Josi, Nati, and Flora) Josi and Nati´s adoption to go well, Flora to get a family, and Staci to have the strength to be a single Mom for them right now.
- Byron and Becky as they are expecting their first child. Becky has been sick a lot.
- For His Children - the kids there to all get homes, and to come to know the Lord. THat the children would get sponsored
- The food pantry - that it would always have enough food for the families it serves

I love you all, and I AM missing you, but God is so good and I know I am where He has called me to be for now, see you all in a couple weeks! I will try to keep you posted on what´s happening here! I will try to put some more pics up soon!
