About Me

In October, 1997, my husband Mark and I, decided to move to Ecuador. We settled in Cuenca, the third largest city. It is nestled in a valley surrounded by the Andes Mountain range. It has been an amazing aventure.

Why is She So Special?

This is Nancy. Look at that face!. Isn't she cute? What makes her so special? Nancy is the niece of a bible study named Digna. Digna has six children of her own, no husband, and is raising two of her sister's children, including Nancy. Nancy's mother lives out of town and she doesn't get to see her very often. They are a very poor family and live in an old adobe house with dirt floors. However, they all are very faithful in meeting attendance and field service. Nancy here always sits with me at the meetings. (We split the children among different brothers and sisters so that Digna doesn't have so much to do and can enjoy the meeting.)

So why do I say that Nancy here is so special? Tuesday night was my first meeting of the Theocratic School and Service Meeting since my surgery. I haven't seen Nancy in three weeks. That night it was literally raining cats and dogs when we arrived to the Kingdom Hall. Nancy sees our car pull up and runs out into the rain with no umbrella and opens my door to carry all my meeting books into the Hall. She didn't want me to get wet or carry the books. Soaking wet she escorts me into the Hall and finds our seats and makes sure that I'm comfortable. Then she gives me a big hug and tells me how much she missed me and hoped I was doing better. During the meeting Nancy is quite a leaner and always ends up with her head on my arm, cuddling. I think she really misses her mother, but I don't mind standing in even for just a two hour meeting. She is very precious to me and I know to Jehovah.
