was a little different than the last in that she was able to accompany me (Kim) to another highland city, Ambato to help with a Women&#8217;s Medical Caravan.\u00a0 This was very special to me as she has never been here during a medical caravan to see this part of our ministry.\u00a0 It meant a lot to serve alongside her and to have her here.\u00a0 She was able to meet and get to know some of the other missionaries serving here in Ecuador as well.\u00a0 It wasn&#8217;t all work though.\u00a0 We did do some fun things like manicures and pedicures, playing whiffle ball games, her learning dutch blitz, eating yummy food and catch up on American TV shows together which are much more fun to watch together!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Christa for sacrificing to serve our family and friends here in Ecuador!<\/p>\n<p>Life is not always flowers and sunshine, but when you go through difficult times, it is better when friends are close and here to encourage.\u00a0 That is what Christa has always been to me and that hasn&#8217;t changed.<\/p>\n<p>Our family is beyond thankful to her family for sharing her for 2 weeks.\u00a0 Thank you to her husband, Bart for holding down the fort back in the States with her boys to let her come down.\u00a0 Thank you also to Joel and my kids for allowing us to spend time together and serve together.\u00a0 We are so thankful!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span id=\"en-NIV-17187\" class=\"text Prov-27-17\">As iron sharpens iron,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong><span class=\"indent-1\"><span
