Week 18
2nd - 8th January 2012
A rather quiet week this week as Robin is recovering from his illness but he is now completely better praise the Lord! PLEASE no more ilnesses!! School has been fun and the children have been very playful with Junior and the boys climbing all over Robin and the girls running around screaming. We have also been to the Compassion project which had changed a little bit. Usually on saturdays they have both the teenagers and young children at the project which can mean 300 children squished into a very small space. But the structure has changed so that the younger children come on mon- wed and older students come thurs-sat.
It is strange to think that we only have 2 weeks left at the school before it breaks for holidays until April. Reminding us that our time in Ecuador is slowly coming to an end. Having spent the last 3 - 4 months helping, playing and getting to know all the different little characters in the school it makes me feel sad to know that we wont get to see there smiley faces anymore. I wonder if they will be alright. What their lives hold in store for them and what they will grow up to be. At times like this you feel bad for leaving them but whilst we where sat watching them play at lunch break taking tumbles on concrete floors and just getting straight back up again and brushing themsemves off I knew that they would be alright becuase there are people here like the teachers in the school who will love them and look after them.
Please pray for our safety and continued good health. Also for the children in the school and compassion project to grow up knowing that there are people who love them and care about their futures. We would also like to thank God for the fantastic welcome and brilliant experience it has been and continues to be working at the school and compassion project. Finally please also pray about the right jobs becoming available for both Robin and I upon our return.

-Valeria's very cute and slightly gross 3 year old sister who is always covered in dirt picking up an exceptionally dirty crisp from a extremely dirty floor and eating it.
-Ainoah playing with Peter the rochweiler sitting on him like a horse and trying to put his hair in bunches!
-One of the 3 year old boys in PE whilst trying to hola hoop exercises pretending to be a car and when people came to close started going 'beep beep'.
