So for all of you first years who watched end of the spear, today we got a tour of the Nate Saint House, which he built and lived in.. it was pretty neat.. we walked through their kitchen and bedroom and various other rooms.. although only the kitchen and radio room are intact... Yesterday we had an interesting experience at the market.. Kristen and Chris gave us a list of fruits (some we knew and some we had no idea what they were... apparently tuna is a cactus fruit here!!) and we were given kind of a challenge to find these various fruits and ask for them... which was cool.. however the boys did slightly better than the girls.. as we ended up with a few things that were not correct at all.. Kristen then showed us how to prepare them and we have been able to enjoy some neat juices today as well as a feast of fruits this morning.. grenadillas, mangos, strawberries, reina claudias!! mmmm... Anywho, we spent most of today at the school and then got to meet Patti Sue, who is in charge of the orphanage we will be working at for the next few days.. we go there at 6 in the morning to feed babies.. today on our mini-tour we saw a 3 week old baby that had been left on the street the day it was born... it was incredibly sad to see.. this evening we walked around looking for food for a while and finally found some strange hamburgers that had eggs and ham in them.. and then the boys got chicken burgers cause there was no beef left! Then, when I (Emily) was trying to order ice cream I accidentally ordered 4 sisters.. instead of 4 ice cream cones... I figure that is perhaps the reason that the lady looked at me like I was psychotic... We are off to bed now to get a good sleep for our very very early morning, but we are all really excited! God bless!

Thanks Ecuador!! Good update! Wow, you saw Nate Saint's house. We also watch a documentary on the Saint family today so the first years are tracking with you I am sure.
The Lord is touching or hearts with the realities of life outside of the comfort we enjoy here. Thanks for taking into your hearts.
Blessings!!! We are praying for you!

It's been interesting to follow your journey through your descriptions on the blog. I could just picture you standing in on the surgery described last week, Wilson. Wilson could you check your email for "opportunities" when you return to Canada? It's hard to believe you're on the final leg of this journey. Hope you all are well. Take good care of those babies in the morning.
