| 15th July 2009 Lucy Gurling | - From: So much to tell, so little time... Just a quick hi from us! We are so pleased that all is going well and that you are all happy. Please say a special hi to Lidia from us. We are all missing you, Lidia. Abbie keeps asking when you are coming back! Love to you all, the Gurlings x |
| 15th July 2009 Katie & John Smith | Bless you for your update! - From: So much to tell, so little time... SO SO SO enjoyed every bit of news. LOTS to pray about and will be specially praying for the PEPE time on Friday. May the Lord fill you all with His Holy Spirit, to sustain you; bless the kids, every contact and to glorify God. Loads of love Auntie Katie xxxxxxx |
| 15th July 2009 Angela Workman | So much to tell, so little time... - From: So much to tell, so little time... I am just home from shopping in Lanark and it was good to find an update on your Blog. I guessed that you all must have been really busy over the past few days. It was very good to hear about your work with the PEPE children, and Richard doing his medical bit with the medications with all the fun you others provided while this was going on. It is ,as you say, wonderful to be able to express God's love to these people and to know the Lord's guidance as you do it. Am wondering how the painting is going on? Have been praying for you all. Must make a meal now - it is 5.30pm. Much love, Angela. |
| 15th July 2009 sheena | latest updates - From: So much to tell, so little time... Glad that all continues well and your Pepes classes were well recieved,i'm sure the diffuculty in language can prove a challenge at times but I am sure the mimes,etc you are using get the message across.The medicine I know would be well received by the medical teams there and help the villagers with health needs.You are all doing a fantastic job and I am sure learning as much as teaching.You all keep well and keep us posted on how things go. |
| 15th July 2009 Team Ecuador 2009 | Thanks so much - From: End of week 1 Hi Mum, great to hear from you and thanks for your thoughts and prayers and the verses from Ps 139 which i wil share with the rest of the group. We didnīt actually eat guinea pig... that was a wee joke on my behalf! Sleeping at night is fine for me, Lidia, Miguel but i think Lorna, Wendy and maybe Olive have been finding it a bit more difficult. Love to you and Dad and the rest of the family, Rich x x x |
| 14th July 2009 Anne Macleod | Prayers from Elie - From: End of week 1 Hi Lorna and the Team, Great to hear of all you are doing. every blessing for the rest of the work. |
| 13th July 2009 Katie | Still thinking of and praying for you - often - From: End of week 1 So encouraged and blessed by your report on your first week. It SO helps to get news and is a great spur to prayer. Trusting the Lord you are all beginning to aclimatise to ...... everything! temperature, humidity, food, sleep, creepy rawlies etc just to start off! It sounds you are managing to communicate well with the local folk. It also sounds like hard work and good fun. Love and prayers Katie xxxxxx |
| 12th July 2009 Elaine Cunningham | half-way done already - From: End of week 1 Hi Wendy and Team. Bet you can't believe you're already half-way through your adventure. Sounds like you are accomplishing loads. Feel that my life is incomplete because I have never seen a sock-monkey! I'm sure that can be remedied on your return. How are you all coping with the heat? Was good to read that the guys were preparing the food! Hope Lidia is enjoying speaking so much Spanish and not having any trouble with the local accent! Will continue praying for your good health and great opportunities to share your faith in both actions and words. Love Elaine and Graeme |
| 11th July 2009 Alison Chapman | Glasgow calling! - From: End of week 1 Good to read of your exploits thus far and to see some of Lorna's photographs - if she could just bring the machete home she could tackle both her garden and mine! I have never contributed to a blog before - hope this travels through the wide blue yonder. Alison |
| 11th July 2009 Angela Workman | End of week 1 - From: End of week 1 The time does seem to be going fairly quickly but you are fitting a lot in. Once you are all back from your various travels you will have to hold a post-trip evening and show us the mimes and roleplays which sound so exciting, not to mention all the photos and stories. How are you all sleeping? Is is hot and humid during the night. It is much cooler here now during the night. Nice and sunny during the day. In fact, Scotland has the best of the weather in the UK today:Saturday - that must be because of the Test cricket in Cardiff!! I do feel a bit sorry for the guinea pigs but then maybe the Ecuadorians feel sorry for chickens! Did it taste like chicken? It really is wonderful about the 'sock monkeys'. So simple yet can bring much needed income for families+self-esteem that they can earn money. Have you come across any 'Compassion' workers? I support a child in India through that organisation and I know they have workers and projects in Ecuador. I came across Ps 139 v's 7 - 12 and thought I would share them with you. All for now except much love to you all, Angela. |
| 10th July 2009 Lenna | Great to get your blog - From: Machetes and "Missiones" Just realised I could follow your trip on line. It's great to hear your news. Keep up the good work. May God make your time very fruitful in the community and in your own lives. Bless you, Lenna |
| 10th July 2009 Angela Workman | Postings for 9th and 10th - From: Machetes and "Missiones" Although it says there are reports for the 9th and 10th the latest one I have here is for the 8th. Why do you think that is? Angela Workman |
| 9th July 2009 Ann Archibald | Machetes and "Missiones" - From: Machetes and "Missiones" Delighted to hear all arrived safely and to read what you are doing. Stay healthy, have fun, and I am sure God will bless your endeavours. Am praying for your all. Ann Archibald |
| 9th July 2009 Graeme and Elaine Cunningham | Keep up the good work. - From: Machetes and "Missiones" Hi team. Glad to read that things are going well. What is the temperature like? Well done for clearing the ground in record time (couldn't find the photo you referred to) and glad that you enjoyed "smapling" the local delicacies! We are in Dallas Texas right now and are about to head off tomorrow on our road trip. No clearing of ground, or painting of walls in sight (although Graeme has been fixing a broken wooden chair while he's here). Great to be able to keep up to date with how you're all getting on. We will continue to keep you in our prayers. Love G and E. |
| 8th July 2009 sheena | Great to hear you arrived safely! - From: Buenos dias amigos! Great to hear you all arrived safely and started work on your mission there.Hope all goes well,and the locals respond to your help and teachings! |
| 8th July 2009 Angela Workman | Good to hear No2 - From: Machetes and "Missiones" Hi to all QPBC Team Ecuador.Sorry not to be very inspired re - Comment Title! Very good to know you had such a good meeting in El Jordan and I am impressed that Richard gave even a short testimony in Spanish. Well done boy-o, and I look forward to hearing that the sick folk you all prayed for are at least improved or at best healed. It is really good to keep up with your day to day activities. Unfortunately I cannot see how to access the photos so haven't as yet actually seen what you are up to. Will be praying for you all at the evening meeting tonight. In that respect it is good that you are behind us time wise.All for now. Much love, Angela. |
| 8th July 2009 Peter Dunn | - From: Machetes and "Missiones" Great to hear your news. It brings back many happy memories of our own time in South America. Sounds like you are busy. You are in our thoughts and prayers, but we head off tomorrow and so will be out of contact. May you continue to know the Lord's blessing and strength. Love, Peter, Jane, Ruth and Tim |
| 8th July 2009 sheena | Well done! - From: Machetes and "Missiones" Glad to hear all going well and your hard work and church visits are proceeding as expected.Pray you all keep well and the painting is succesfull. |
| 8th July 2009 Katie & John Smith | Now connected .......! - From: .....belatedly by e-mail but have been connected via the prayer 'net' since Richard started packing his bags! He'll tell you when that was! Thanking God for all your safe arrivals, including that your luggage travelling WITH you (unlike so many!). Will continue to pray for your time together, that you will be kept in health, spirit, soul and body and good times and bad. No, I mean 'easy' times and 'difficult' times, as ALL will be good on the basis of His Word in Rom 8v28 Amp ""We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labour], all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good, to those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose" Haven't explored your whole blog yet and how the system works but at least the prayer'net' is fully operational! May you be an enormous blessing to all whose lives you touch. Lots of love - Katie and John xxxxxx |
| 7th July 2009 Sheena Jarvis | God Speed-Good luck to the team. - From: Safe trip to all.From Wendy's sister in Humid,[probably not as much as Ecuador!] Katy Texas! |
| 7th July 2009 Jane Dunn | - From: Buenos dias amigos! Glad to hear that you have all arrived safely at last! How warm is it? And what's the time difference? How is the land clearing going? Unfortunately we will be out of contact for a while 'cos of being away ourselves but God bless you and all you're doing! Richard, we had a homegroup lunch at Patience's on Sun which was great, inbetween watching the tennis and Lyndsey had had a late night party on the Sat too! Bye for now! Love Jane xo |
| 7th July 2009 Angela Workman | Good to hear - From: Buenos dias amigos! It is 3.45pm here and I guess you have just had breakfast. At what time does your day start? Quite early maybe as you have a lot to get through. It is good to read what you are going to be doing and on which days. I am trying to work out if I can print the info off from the Blog, and I haven't got Richard here to help me! I had better look at the book - 'Computers for Seniors- Dummies' that he gave us!! Glad you all arrived and that Richard made good use of his delay in Miami ,as only he could do! Praying for you all. Angela. |
