Hi again! Im at the cyber with Michelle this afternoon for a quick minute. Its 96 degrees in the shade today!! ay ay ay! Although Rosa tells me that the weather in Guayaquil is changing. For example, the first two mornings that I was here it rained really hard for about and hour or two- Im not sure as it was early in the morning and just heard it clanging on the tin roof while I was half asleep, but it never rains when Im here so it was strange for me.

First off- Anna, I saw a few of your kids yesterday!!! Victor and the two girls took me to the church becuase we were going to see Pastor, but he had already left for his house. However, we were walking down the road that the church is on and I caught eyes with Julio. I looked and him...he looked at me... and he didnt say anything so I wasnt sure if it was him, but I said hi and he smiled so I knew it was him. I gave him a big hug and said it was from you, Anna! Then Kayla showed up while I was talking to him. She was suprised to see me too. What a chatter box she is! Julio was quiet as always. =) We walked a little further and saw Manuel- for those of you who went to Guayaquil hes the one that lived\s in the church and is a nurse. As we were talking to him I spotted Betsys mom and ran over to give her a hug. I think I really suprised her but she was happy to see me. The first thing she asked about was you and Josh and "los bebes", Anna. They really love you and wanted me to tell you that. I asked them to come to church on Sunday so I can take pictures for you and give them the gifts that you have for them. She said shes not working so she can come. And then..ta da! Betsy came over. She looked SOO grown up. She was wearing heels and her hair was up and everything. She looked very pretty. I gave all of them that I saw your little thumb kiss, and they smiled when I did that. Besides them, and the people I saw at the airport I havent seen anyone else for the church. I cant WAIT until Sunday so I can see more people. Hopefully Gretchen will be there too.

Last night I finally got to visit my moms cousin Mike and his wife Sue who are missionaries here in Guayaquil. They live in a beautiful part of town! Wacho picked us up and the whole family went. We laughed a lot and they think Mike his really funny. =) He had some peanut butter from the US that he let them try and Rosa is determined to find it in the stores here, but Im not so sure she will. Hopefully when I come back to Riobamba in August I can stay with Mike and Sue to visit with them some more. The´re actually leaving for the US tonight.

A ver...que mas... we really didnt do much yesterday or today. Rosa used my laptop all day yesterday to do powerpoint presentation for her class this morning, so while she did that I played with Sarita. Today we´ve just been hanging out, but I think they´re taking me out again tonight. I have no idea where we´re going. I´m just going with the flow. =)

By the way mom- Rosa and Victor and being very protective of me! They both want to go to the orphanage in Riobamba with me to make sure that its safe- Theyre worried becuase I told them Ive only been communicating with them by internet, but Barb C has spoken with them when Javier was there and I know its a fine place. And they sure are feeding me well. Every morning they tell me "te vamos a poner mas gorda, nina!!" or... we´re going to make you fat while you´re with us! So much for all of that exercising that I did all winter... *sigh* haha..

Oh yeah... for those of you who wanted to talk with me using Skype...the cyber cafes here done have it on the computers so if you want to video chat we´ll have to use MSN messenger from hotmail.

Alright.. love you all! Until next time...
