Wow, Im so thankful for you guys and your constant support through this roller coaster or a summer. I can honestly say that this summer has been the hardest summer of my life. The Lord has stretched me and grown me in ways that were deffinately not comfortable or fun, but that I needed. I have definately learned to rely on the Lord and He has given me a new appreciation for how much I need him on a daily basis. I have definately learned to place my trust in the Lord, a lot more than I did before.
The Lord has done some great things through this summer in our village with the family (Leoncio and Lucy and kids). I really feel like after spending a month in Quito Arma that They are growing faster and more every time they read the Bible. One of the things on the heart of Leoncio a lot is persecution. Hes one of the very few Christians in the town and his friends that he used to drink with (before becoming a believer) always make fun of him. He struggles with knowing what to do in situations like that. We have tried to instruct him as much as we could on that it just depends on the situation sometimes it is appropriate to stand up for yourself and your beliefs, and sometimes you just have to pray for them and leave them in Gods hands.
This is all I have time for today. I will try to update again tomorrow but deffinately before I leave the country.

Hey You! Are you still there? We have missed hearing from you this week. Hope all is going well. Can't wait until Monday, but then I guess I have to. Sure do love you-more than you know!
