As we are coming to the end of our time here in Brazil we look toward the future plans that God has for our family. We of course still want to be doing missions and have been called to spread the Good News to more people then the ones here in Salvador so we have been looking for new places in which we feel that we can be used. One of the places that we have decided to look was Cuenca, Ecuador. Travis worked as a missionary apprentice there 12 years ago, loved his time and still has a special place in his heart for the people he met there. We had been asked to return there before we made our decision to move to Brazil but at that time it wasn't really the best place for us to go. At this time though we felt that this could be a possible next place to serve God. So we decided to take a survey trip there. We had a great time! I finally got to meet some of the people that I had heard about and to see where Travis had spent some of his life. Things have changed in the 12 years since Travis lived there but the people were the same, open to hear God's word. Travis even had the opportunity to study and baptize a man named Don Vitor. We were able to visit the church in the city as well as a few churches in the surrounding area. It was great to see what kind of work we would be able to do if we go there. We haven't made a decision as of yet but are open to God's calling to Ecuador if that is best for our family. We also have other options for mission work and are looking at those possibilities as well. Please be in prayer for us as we make this life changing decision again to serve God on a foreign field, whether that will be in Ecuador or another location.

Ecuador is such a diverse and peaceful country. The weather, the colonial cities and the people are just fantastic. Nothing compares to the landscapes of the Highlands, the lush of the Amazon Rainforest, the exotic Beaches of the Coast and the mystery of the Galapagos Islands.
