After almost a whole year from when we received our medical donations, they have FINALLY arrived in Cayambe to be used in our new clinic. It was quite the party while unloading the container.
Container released!

My mom went to be with the Lord yesterday. It was a long hard fight against cancer in which she gave it her all but we all knew that the cancer would win in the end. She died peacefully at home with my dad, sister and brother all by her side. We will be traveling tomorrow to go home for the funeral. Here is her obituary: http://www.yoderculpfuneralhome.com/memsol.cgi?user_id=1509448
Thank you for your prayers!

IPEE’s Annual Meeting
We just got back from attending IPEE’s Annual Meeting in Santo Domingo in which Joel received the special designation of having his Ordination Recognized by IPEE, so he is now considered to be an Ordained Minister in Ecuador in addition to the United States. It was a very special event not only because all of the ordained ministers had their ordinations reaffirmed through the receiving of stolls but also because Curt Peterson, the ECC’s Executive Minister of World Mission, was in attendance and was a part of the event. Enjoy the pictures!

New Harvest Team Arrives
We were happy to welcome a work team from New Harvest Christian Church of Oregon, OH after they had a day and half flight delay problem making their way to Ecuador. Though they were weary from travel, they quickly got to work on the home for at risk children in Cayambe!

Back in Ecuador!
We made it back to our home in Quito, Ecuador this past Monday. Our flight back was a little bit delayed as we were trying to determine if Grandma was in a stable spot and we were helping out with her. But after a little bit over a month of spending time with grandma, who has terminal cancer, and grandpa, we are finally back in Ecuador and getting our lives setup here again. It was an important month for us as we know that grandma won’t be with us forever and we wanted to spend good time with her and the rest of the family over the holidays. Here are some pictures that show a little bit of our time there.
