ECUADOR, part 2

Here are some more pictures from my trip to Ecuador,

Waterfall coming out of the mountain

         Walking around Salinas, notice how steep the streets are? The next picture..I just liked the paint job.

Notice the traditional dress, a lot of people dress traditional and some more modern.

Anyone hungry? Notice the GRILLED WHOLE GUINEA PIG on the menu?

Yes this is for real, no I was not that hungry.

 More pictures of the country, beautiful!

 Standing on the equator, one foot in the Northern Hemisphere and one foot in the Southern Hemisphere

Until next time, stay true to the Gospel.

ECUADOR

Well I'm back from my trip to Ecuador, and I wanted to post a few pictures.

Mt. Cotopaxi, an inactive volcano, one of many.

A look at the land

 Hauling milk to town

 Farming anywhere they can, even and mostly on the sides of mountains.

Sigchos, in the high mountains

Some of the people of Ecuador

 Market day, notice the beef in the background, just tell em what you want.

Busses run on all of their roads, they run fast, and accidents happen!

This one blocked our road for over 3 hours.

Driving above the clouds

The places on my heart, El Chaupi & Aloasi

Ecuador, a wonderful and beautiful place, a place to share Christ.

"GO AND TELL"

As I am getting ready to go on another mission trip, I have to think back to the others that I have had the privilege to go on. The first being to Belize in 2006, this was my first mission trip out of the United States, a very exciting place.

Last year I was able to go to Namibia, Africa on my second mission trip out of the USA, we went to Outapi, Namibia, a far cry from Belize, from the coast to the desert.

Now I am getting to go to Ecuador, I will let you know how it goes.
If I am able to find a computer I might even post from Ecuador.
Until then, Later, Randy

MARCH UPDATE

Wow, it's been a while since I have blogged, for those of you who actually read this, I'm sorry. Well let me catch you up, it snowed here, not much as you see, but that has been about the extent of our moisture so far this year, sad but true.

Becky is in the hospital again, feeling some better this morning, but it will be a few more days until she is out. It seems like with this cancer that she gets sick real easy, real fast and real often. But she makes up for it by not getting over it very fast, it seems like the only way that she cane really get over it is in the hospital. After a week on antibiotics and three trips to the doctor, she was put in the hospital by Dr. Green. He keeps a close eye on her, but last week she didn't get to see him, this week she did.

She is still going for her treatments in Amarillo, but it has been cut down to once a week instead of twice, and she will go back to the Dr. in Denver in April. I think this is all a part of her cancer, so keep praying for her.

Our grandgirls are getting more beautiful every day, little Zoe is learning how to sit up, and getting good at it. Eisley is walking more all of the time and Mia is just getting smarter all of the time. She went with Jody to the post office to get the ministry mail out of the box, looked at the box's six digit number and remembered it days later.

Jody and Sarah are in Israel for 12 days, flew in this morning, what a great trip that would be.

Amy and Zach are in the process of buying a house, fixing it up and moving into it.

Amy and I and some others from our church are planning to go to Namibia Africa on a mission trip in October.

Anyway, this is a quick update, let me hear from you.
