Machala, Ecuador

back to Our Walk of Faith

A brief up-date...we had an awesome time with Chris's parents and his brother, Brett, in Quito and in San Gabriel. We were really sad to see them go, but we know that it will be a lot less time before we see them again. Before they left us, they gave us money for a bus ticket...an anniversary gift!! They prayed about it and searched the map...we were to go to Machala. So here we are...we are walking today towards Peru...you'll never believe how close we are now...less than 80 miles from the border of PERU!!! We believe that God has shown us the city where we will stop "walking"--Trujillo. Rod and Maria Henderson, a missionary couple from Smithfield, lives there. They were instrumental in beginning the change in our prayer life...we hope to share a little more about that later. We are pretty sure that we'll be back in the US sometime in May!! I caught up the journal entries with the pictures...we're still working on it!! God bless you and keep you! We can't wait to see you! We love you tons!

WOW Rachel...Trujillo is where the Elliots live and where we'll be visiting in a few months! That's pretty awesome. Their email is elliots@terra.com.pe. Hopefully you can meet them while you're there!
