We had a really nice relaxing weekend there, reading, walking, and of course soaking in the thermal pools. Hopefully Ruth and Josue relaxed too, as their visit to Chch seems to have been pretty busy to say the least! They're out this evening cooking an Ecuadorian dinner, which was a prize in an auction, raising $1000 for IFES. AND they're doing 2 more in other towns in NZ! The very scary part is that we've got Ana-Gracia asleep in our spare room though! I've been terrified all evening that she's going to wake up. I spent the whole of the evening telling the Bible study we had here to ssshhhh.
It's been really great spending time with Ruth and Josue, they're very wise, patient people, and I think they make us both feel quite humbled, when I think about how we bemoan the state of the Church in NZ, and the lack of commitment to the gospel among students. Sounds like life in Ecuador, and faith in Jesus is much more challenging, but they're faithfully persevering - and making a difference to people's lives.
Ahhhh - cute! Ana-Gracia's quite sweet too.
