Susan with sisters Tamya and Maria. Tamya is the young lady who is teaching us to speak Kichwa.

Susan and her very dear friend, Aide. We met Aide in 1999 on our second trip to Ecuador.
She moved to Spain that same year, then we visited her in Spain in 2000, but hadn't seen
her since then. She just came to Ecuador in January and visited her family, so we got to
spend time together! We had the greatest visit!! She's a lovely young Holy Ghost filled lady
and is song worship leader in her church in Madrid, Spain.

Aide and her husband with family and friends in Ecuador.

Noemi preparing her first cake. Noemi loves to cook, but doesn't have an oven in her
home and had never baked a cake. So I taught her to bake and she made her first cake
this day. Whatever I can do for these people is my part in being a good missionary to them!

This is my oven in my home that Noemi baked her cake in.

Noemi and her beautiful orange cake. She was so excited over her first cake!! And her family loved it!
