Ecuador, Canada, Wedding, Louisville

Not too many people travel out of the country for their engagement to two different countries and then come home and get married four days later. But...such is my life and I love it! Walking with Jesus is the greatest and most fun adventure anyone could ever go on!! So, now that I have time to breathe I thought I might give you the scoop on Ecuador and Canada and the wedding and Louisville all in one blog. Yikes you say? I will try and keep it short!! Here goes the picture story of Ecuador and Canada:

The staff at the equator in Ecuador



Camp Chacauco



Tungurahua...the volcano about 20 miles from Camp Chacauco usually covered by clouds







Syncretistic Catholocism dominates this region



The Kiddos







The Market



Team Building Time with Larrie and Angela on the lake in Ecuador



We stopped by to visit the house that Nate Saint and his family lived in while doing missions in Ecuador.



The basket they used to lower the gifts to the Waodani from Nate's Piper Plane



OH CANADA!!!!

Staff trip to Ottawa





Lake Ontario



Jumping into Lake Ontario with all our clothes on...see me in the back with my hands in the air?





On to more important things...like camp....here we are at the site luncheon where we met the people we would be working with throughout Kingston during our 3 weeks in Canada.

The week prior to this picture my group tore up the linoleum floor and Will's (the man on the right) group came the week after us and laid new tile for FBC Kingston.



All in all it was a great summer. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know everyone on staff and made some lifelong friends. The best part of the summer I would have to say was the time of worship every night of camp. No matter what was going on in my day, when worship rolled around, it was a sweet, refreshing time with Jesus, just worshiping Him. It was a great summer!

I returned home July 29th and Jason as well as his parents and mine greeted me at the airport. It was a sweet reunion!!! Four days later I was married to Jason Arnold and 8 days later we moved to Louisville, Kentucky. I am sitting on my couch in the living room in my apartment as I type this. I regret to say that I have no pictures yet of the wedding or Louisville but I plan to get right on that!! So, stay tuned for the photo story of the last two weeks of my life!!!

Are you going to post regularly??? Most Louisville people post twice a year to once a month. You nephews miss you. Maybe dedicate a post to your oldest nephew on Monday as he starts Kindergarten. Just a thought.
