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.

Update

Hi. I'm taking a moment to write a quick blog. We are moved into our new home and despite all the stress with Mark's illness, we absolutly are enjoying it!

Mark is going through the Social Security medical system to get all the tests done and see the specialists. We are very impressed with the Social Security system here. It is well managed and works very smoothly. The tests results should be back today or tomorrow and we will let all know what they reveal.

We got our first house warming gift! Fanny and William along with their girls came for lunch on Sunday and handed us a box. When we opened it there were two small chickens. The girls inform me they are a male and female named Bayly and Flippy. What a surprise! I guess you can say we are officially countryfied!

We still don't have internet so communication is sporatic. But, as soon as we do the blogs will continue.

  4. Hello there!!! My wife and I would like to move down there. We really want to come and visit to see what it is like, and what the ministry is like. She is a regular pioneer in her third year. We live in Minneosta now. Any ideas where we could stay for a month? would it be expensive? Thanks for your help! Brotherly Love, The Pepins

  5. I posted here recently regarding family members of my wife being in a drama. I am not sure if they are in your drama but this post confirmed you definitely know her cousin and his wife and children.
