This was the view from my living room window yesterday!!!!

Yesterday I woke up and opened my blinds and I had a Beautiful surprise from God! Amazing snow capped mountains, that we hardly ever see because they are usually covered with clouds. Thank you Lord for your Beautiful creation!!!!

 I have more good news!   Monday we were able to schedule a visa interview at the American Embassy for Harrison.  This is step two in trying to get a visa.   On Oct. 19th at 8am he has to be at the embassy with all kinds of documents proving that he will return to Ecuador.  They will then decide if they are going to give him the visa.  Something very important that God has shown me through step one of this process is that He is in control.  I need to have faith not just saying I have faith but really believing that He will do what He says He will do and even if and when that isn't what I want, He knows what is best and I need to trust him in that!  So please keep praying for this process as we get all the papers together and prepare for the interview.  We think it will all be in Spanish but we aren't sure.  And no matter what happens, if they give the visa or not, we know and Trust that God's ways are the best ways and there is no where we would rather be then following Him and going where he is leading us. 

One more thing, One of the ministries I'm in charge of is the NILI students time at a local dump daycare.  I've uploaded pictures to facebook (because that is the easiest place to put lots of pics) of our time there from last Tuesday.  We talked about the story of Noah and how God loves us and that he gave us a rainbow as a promise.  So we made Rainbows, it was an interesting time with lots of glue :)  But we had a fun time spending time with these adorable little kiddos.  So to check out the pics click here :
