Marzo

I didn't send this blog when I downloaded photos on March 17, but I will today...April 17.  Where did the time go?  I know the routine was still Spanish classes daily 8:00-1:00, Saturday art therapy sessions at the girls prison and Friday night visits to the streets.  I struggled through learning all 4 of the past tense verbs and still feel cautious about using them correctly.  My journal entries during those weeks in March are few, but full of encouraging truth from the Message--Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians...

Praying over Quito from Parque Itchimbia
"Come Break the Chains"

"Arise, shine, for Your light has come..."
Never limit the anointing that is in you.

Tripa mishqui (intestines! Yum!)

More delicious vittles from the vendors on
our take-a-risk night of food tasting.

Volcan Cotopaxi--highest active volcano in the world 

On the drive up to Cotopaxi

Yup. . .just sitting on the side of the volcano

Cotopaxi Moonscape

Check out the six climbers ascending the peak!

Only about 2000 more feet to the top!  

Heading back down...the fog blew in obscuring all!

Looking back...hidden peak.

Watch what God does and then do it like children 

who learn proper behavior from their parents. 

 Mostly what God does is love you.

 Keep company with Him and learn a life of love. 

 Observe how Christ loved us. 

 His love was not cautious but extravagant. 

 Eph. 5:1-2

The journey is amazing in so so many ways!  With a thankful heart I breathe it all in, 

even when there are rough spots being polished and curves being straightened out!
