SpongeBob in the Fire
If you look closely, you can see poor SpongeBob in the fire. The kids seemed to be O.K. with it.SpongeBob
This is the story: On the Ecuadorian Coast, it is a tradition that the locals build out of paper mache different characters that they like and dislike. Then at midnight on New Year's Eve, you burn what ever character you have. We bought SpongeBob.
Ellie in the Splash
Imagine that!! Ellie waiting for the waves to crash up against the rocks and come through the rocks creating an incredible splash.

Behind Ellie and Dustin is a point with Rocks and Fish and Shell with waves coming up through the rocks

Manger Scene
This was the manger scene that we had this Christmas. It came with each character in a box and the story of Christmas of which the kids had to guess who was in each box and place them in the manger.
Charlie Brown Tree

Our first Christmas away from the States
This is the famous "Charlie Brown Christmas tree" with the little yellow star that Ellie made to put on top. Isn't it cute!!!!

These were the children that were leaving Sojourn in December heading for their field of service. This was also the last day of school for Ellie and Dustin in Costa Rica.
Our new friend Ana
This picture was taken the last day of classes when we had to say goodbye to our wonderful friend and teacher, Ana Maneses. I put a picture on the blog last month of her husband and children, Fredrico, Gloria and little Fredrico. We just love them dearly and will miss them but they have promised to come and see us while we are here in Quito, Ecuador.
Ellie and "Tommy" the Buck look a like
Amazingly enough, everyday walking to school we walked by this house who owned this dog. Who does he look just alike? Buck. God is sooo good. It was so good for the kids. We would by dog treats at the grocery and feed him everyday on our walk to school.
