Me in the log Cabin in Cacha during the festival of Inti Raymi. I have a head light on, because I was reading a book called When God Winks at You. This book is about the how God uses the coincidences of every day life to speak to us. This day I just "happened" to read about God sending encouragement to a girl who was studying abroad in France. I could really identify with the this girls story. And I was encouraged by the fact that I randomly selected to read a story that was about God sending encouragement while traveling. Coincidence? I think not!

A little girl I saw in the street after work. I was fascinated in Ecuador to see so many little children without adults immediately nearby. What I learned was that their parents were often nearby, but just not holding their hands. This little girl had just got through trying to move a wooden carton. It was so cute to see her try to move this piece of wood that was almost just as big as her.
Me with the one of the medical interns at Hospital IEES and one of the doctors.
There was a parade outside my window...notice the pig in the background.
