October Highlights!

*Hiking through the mountains, climbing a volcano, AND viewing a waterfall in the same day. Love the beauty of this country!


*Watching a Korean break dancing crew (Last for One) and eating sushi with friends in Quito (oh how I missed you little rice rolls!)


*Learning some Ecuadorian recipes and getting one step closer to killing and preparing my own chicken by buying a whole dead one, cutting off its toenails, and frying it. Note that I said only the toenails. The feet are prepared here. Yummy!

*Jovencitas (young girls) Bible study on Friday nights with Daniella and the girls from Casa de Fe orphanage

*Learning Spanish worship songs

*Successfully shopping and bartering in Spanish!

*Flowers and a card from Solomon! -- via Kimmy


*The discovery of a coffee shop in Puyo (15 mins away) with mochachinos!!

*Zoos galore!


*Helping my students learn to play their marimbas for the parade next month. Although, nine girls playing their instruments in a small room for an hour helps me remember why I chose to teach English instead of music. :-)

*Meeting tons of new people to share life with here in Shell. God is so good!

Love you all,

Kristin

  3. Thanks for sharing life and pics! It seems so amazing there (a little like Haiti with the mountains?). Just got back from there-still very sad but the people are amazing as usual!
