The day we forgot our age

Hi All,

 

Paul and Linnea Quam arrived yesterday.  Paul and I grew up together here in Ecuador, and they are down for a one week visit.  Santiago and I walked into the airport right at the same moment they walked out of security.  Perfect timing.  After relaxing at the G's house for a while, we went up to Turi to view the city.  The evening was beautiful. 

 

Right before supper, we went and toured the Bilingue school.  Paul and I climbed our favorite climbing tree.  What a hoot.  They've even added permanent ladders to the tree.  The bottom levels of the tree are very well used, but the top levels of the tree was very unused.  We could barely make it through the thick mesh of branches to stick our heads out the top.  (It seems there aren't many missionary kids climbing the tree these days)  We did "our duty" and reopened the routs to the top of the tree again.  What fun to sit on top of the world and remember old times.  On the way back to G's we went and gave Linnea a tour of "the wall" next to the mission home, and sucked on the orange honey suckle flowers.  What a lot of fun to be together.  God is so good. 

 

On the agenda this afternoon: a fishing trip to Cajas.  The Gs will be busy with a congregational meeting this afternoon, so the three of us will probably borrow the G's car and go by ourselves on the adventure.  It should be fun! :-)

 

Blessings,

Justo
