Weekend Update

Judy and I spent last week in Cuenca and Ingapirca which is home to the largest ruins in Ecuador. Both places were extremely educational and fit in well with our experience and study of spirituality on this sabbatical. It is amazing to see how God has led us to experience a vareity of in-depth spiritual and religous traditions in the present day and throughout history.

We are deeply grateful to God and for your prayers. There is so much we have learned and so much to process. We look forward to sharing more, if not on this blog, we will share more when we return home.

This trip has far exceeded our expectations. Our spirituality has been enriched and and we look forward to returning home and applying some of what we are learning and experiencing.

Jessica and her friend Ashley from WVU arrived Saturday morning. We visited the ranch in the afternoon and enjoyed an evening with family and friends.

Ecuador has been experiencing a lot of severe flooding the last few weeks. Yesterday, Riobamba had severe thunderstorms and hail which are both very rare. But this morning, we awoke to clear skies and were able to see for the first time Chimborazo, other mountains and even the active volcano spewing ash into the sky.





We spent the day with Frank’s family in Mulalillo and Ambato and look forward to being with Jessica and Janelle this week before we return home Saturday night.
