Quito, oh Quito, the things I will miss....

It's hard to believe that my three months have come to an end already. As I am here for my last few days I am trying to soak up everything I love about this place. From my little babies at the orphanage to the fresh fruit, bread, and flowers available at every street corner, to the amazing mountain views all around.

This blog will just feature many pictures that describe my time in Ecuador and why I love it so much here. I am confident I will be back one day, this place will always have a huge part of my heart.

In no particular order....



celebrating birthdays

spending quality time with my baby Antoinella

she's just so stinkin' cute

the friendly llama that greets me on my way to the orphanage

the beautiful smiles of sweet children



babies strapped to their mother's backs

walking down the streets in old town Quito

the motor-taxis

beachin' it in the middle of February

sweet friends at the garbage dump day care

smiling faces, excited to see us

sharing a bottle of Inca Cola with friends

mosquito nets

the babies in the orphanage

sweet little babies in their swings

Quichua women singing in church

buildings that make me grateful for the blessings I have

cramming all of Corban and the interns into one car to go to church

feeding precious children snacks

visiting the street children and loving on them

the mountains

cute babies on the bus

people selling just about anything and everything at every intersection


the vendors on every street corner

cutie pie kids coloring

ghetto taxis (this is rare for Quito, but so fun!)

beautiful churches

the Panecio

chiva rides

amazing architecture

this picture needs no words



And the thing I won't miss...

Meals that include entire animal bodies, including the feet!!



I thank my Heavenly Father for this opportunity
and praise Him for all He has done in my life while serving in Quito!!
