Busy

Sorry we have been away for over a week, but life has been crazy. We went to Quito for a few days to celebrate Joe's birthday and then I was in the jungle for 3 days. We will fill you in more tomorrow, but for now please pray for rain for the entire country of Ecuador. We are having the worst drought in 45 years and as a result are running low on electricity. Because of the normally high amount of rain here, the electricity comes from several hydroelectric plants. Without rain, electricity is running low and the country is rationing. The entire country will be without electricity for 4-8 hours everyday until the problem gets better. Fortunatly right now we are getting enough rain here to have water in our homes, the real problem is further up in the mountains where the hydroelectric plants are. Please pray for rain there.
I will add pictures of the jungle trip and the reason I got to go tomorrow. I think there is a football (soccer) game today so the power should stay on so people can watch it!
