journey with danielle: day one oh six

i have been in south america for more than one hundred days. that´s like...a big chunk of a year. a couple times now it has hit me...while waiting for a bus, while walking down the street...dude. i´m in ecuador. i´m a long way away from home. but most of the time i just feel like i´m at home here.

last friday was the last day of the vacation bible school at the ark. it went really well and im guessing over 70 kids from the community came.

this is al and jack...every day i awaited anxiously to see their outfits for the day. they never failed to disappoint.i dont know if you can see but jack is wearing two different shoes.

Isaac leading worship

kids waiting in line for the trampoline

last friday night we had a huge bonfire at the ark to say goodbye to Blas´s nephew, Bryan, who was moving back home to spain. And also because Isaac is leaving to Canada in a couple weeks, and also because they just needed to burn a pile of stuff. I bought stuff to make smores and OH MAN it just tasted like home. Like one of the hundreds of fires my family has had on sproat lake. i loved it.
jack, al, and dan just a LITTLE too excited
