It's getting down to the 'pack-up' time for Ecuador.  Missionary Rick Nanez says it's been rainy there so I am packing for an English summer.  The outpouring of gifts from the people here has been wonderful.  What a sweet, wonderful spirit in this place.

Yesterday the Sterling 'soppiness' for pets showed itself again.  Andrew is working on a rig in Decatur.  On his arrival yesterday evening he found a stray that resembles our current pup, Roscoe (and local church mascot!).  After sending us a cell phone picture of her, there we went after church assembly to Decatur to bring her back to her new home with Elizabeth.  Since Roscoe is 'Roscoe', her name has been given as 'Daisy'.  As Natalie told her on the way, "Young lady, you have no idea how spoiled you're going to be!"
