Update

To say we've been busy is an understatement. Three days after our last team left we flew to the states to move Ethan home.  It was hard, not going to lie, and it's still hard. Ethan is living with Shannon's mom in NWA and working. He will be starting college next fall. Where? We aren't sure just yet. Please pray for him and us as we adjust. 

I thought I would share a few pics from our trip. 

Ethan and Megan got new glasses the second day we were home. It was past time. 

Shannon and I flew to Houston to pick up Ethan's car that was stored at my mom's house. Thanks to the Hopkins who picked us up and let us stay the night at their house in Tulsa. 

We traveled to a few churches to share about Ecuador. 

Thank you Searcy First!! They bought us all these gluten free foods. 

We played at Best Buy. 

Shannon was able to spend some time with his grandparents. 

Shannon and Ethan were given free tickets to a razorback game. 

We toured Evangel University. 

Megan got her senior pics taken. She too will be starting college next Fall. She has applied to U of A. 

We celebrated Ethan's 19th birthday. 


Then the dreaded day came when we flew home to Ecuador. This is us in the Dallas airport missing Ethan. Seriously, the hardest thing we've ever done. 

And this is us on our final flight to Ecuador after we ran a mile because we almost missed our flight. It was awful. 

I've been making things to help keep my mind busy. Okay, to keep my mind off of Ethan.  I brought some stuff back from the states to make a Fall wreath. 

Then I made this for my table. I love Fall. 

We were finally able to go out to the church and this is where we are on the construction. We will be putting to roof on next week. 


Next week we should be getting our visas renewed.  Please pray that we have all the right paperwork and we are able to get them Monday.
