Overhead view old.
Notice the darker red roof that forms a sort of reversed J. Below that is a s shaped covered walk way. The new building is built where the four trees are shown. The down limit is the jog in the walkway, the up limit is 20ft past the bottom edge of the J Building. and its width is equal to or greator that the bright red roof building at the bottom of the picture.

A beautiful garden.

A nice new residence building in Guayaquil. It used to be a beer brewery. The effect on us is below.


A nice shot right after a rain. Cleans up the air nicely.

Sorry about the lack of posts. tons of stuff going on.

worked today on this:

Keeps getting better not.
adios amigos

Well I played volley ball and here is the result nice eh
ok got to go bye

just to let friends know i am fine. a quick note to DD. Ever since the amoebas i am your equal in a certain way that LD mother would very much disapprove of. hope the sound gets better with time but the volume, ie the quantity is excellent.

My roommate invited me to go with him on tour of the city.
Then we decided to go "look" at the light house. That meant climbing 400 some odd steps. Here is a view about 1/4 of the way up.

I guess I am out gunned.

Little church that sits next to the Lighthouse.

View out the other side of the Lighthouse.

The group that made the trek up the mountain.


Any way thought you would like to see what we did Sunday.
Went to a sign language meeting in the morning. It was a rather quite affair. :-}
Then off to a sign lang. bible study then to the city for the tour. The river you see is actually a tidal inlet. Correct name? It flows both directions and changes alto height 4 meters. Really nice. all the docks had huge pillars that let them ride the tide.
will send pictures of the SL Group next.

So many things going on. Where to begin?
Yesterday I learned that I will be here till June 14 or so.
Two days ago a plumber who is working with us was called into a meeting. He was told that he had to be in attendance in a conference call with two older men from his home K.H. and two local older men. He came back rather silent. When asked volunteered no answer. On a hunch I said, great now I have to show you double honor. It was true apparently.
Food is still great. I have been busy trying to prepare parts in two languages. Also with a looming days text comment on February first, I am very busy. Look forward to seeing you all in June and will miss all of you for sure.
Will post some pictures of the progress shortly.

Got my first ever Days Text Commentator Assignment Last one of three on Feb 1.
Below is the text that a brother is working on translating. Will do it in spanish, yippiee. :-)
{Gehovah our God is Holy. So he does not place us in circumstances that would weaken our resistance to wrongdoing. We can not blame Gehovah for our sin. Why?
Let us look at the steps leading to sin. A situation may give raise to a wrong desire. Desire is not sin. The caution is this:
If we do not dismiss a wrong desire, 'it becomes fertile,' is nurtured in the heart, and "gives birth to sin." Obviously we need to guard our hearts and resist sinful inclinations. Remember Cain and how a disregarded warning lead to sin. So, then, what if we are beginning to pursue an unscriptural course? Surely we should be grateful if Christian elders try to readjust us so that we do not sin against God. We face similar trials as did the Christians addressed in James. Let us always recognize the source of our trials.}

Below is a pic of a medium sized iguana, its about 4 foot long and about 60 yards is where this picture is taken from. Any nearer and away it goes. There is a larger one but he/she/it is being very stubborn and refusing to let me get close enough for a picture. At 130 yards roughly it runs away. A brother caught two 7 inch iguana's looked to be twins, wish I could of got a picture before he released them.

A little stream now, as soon as it rains this fills with water. Right now its 2in deep, in about three hours when the rain started again it was 1 foot deep, and during a "real" rain, a brother said it is 6 ft deep.

Look closely and you will see two friends :-)

A guard dog for the Bch.

Look closely this is one chevy you will not see it the states.

Hope everyone back home is preparing for the Mem. Season. Here the elders are already starting to build enthusiasm for the campaign. Apparently I am an aux. pio. since the brother stated that the body and MS were all going to aux pioneer. we will see :-)

New BH assignment is now Matthew 22-25
Oh by the way the great thing about being the Last commentator is two people ahead of you can say what you were going to say, leaving you in the situation; Do I say the same thing or try to think of something new? A brother in NY said that he prepares 4 versions for just that problem. However since I no intende espanol, I will play the dump gringo and say what I planned on.
he he. Take care all and know that I think of you all daily. Agape
