Not too sure about this brand of toothpaste . . . .

We found this in a local shop and it was only 72 cents!

Our Friends

This is Salamon, Lucy, Isaias and Landon. Salamon and Lucy are graduates of the seminary and are some of our closest Ecuadorian friends. Salamon has been co-teaching with Stan which is good training for Salamon and a wonderful help to Stan. During the Shell weekend, Lucy adopted (and babied) Landon which he loved.

Isaias is one of the current students that Stan is mentoring. He is very sharp.

During this weekend, we saw that God has answered our prayers regarding Landon's adjustment to this culture. He had a great time! By the way, they are standing in front of an waterfall called "Pailon del Diablo" or The Devil's Kettle. It's named that because of the incredible force in which the waters fall here.

Training Weekend Culminates with Baptism

In March, Stan and Landon when to Shell, Ecuador, to provide personal evangelism training to 25 teens and teen workers. The group is shown in the first picture.

During Friday evening and Saturday they learned and practiced how to share their faith. Stan is teaching in the second picture.

After the Sunday morning service (see picture 3), they went to a public swimming/park area to have a baptism service in which Stan had the priviledge of participating. (See picture 4.) This was a definite highlight for Stan!

Afterward, they shared the gospel with the public in the park area. One of the methods for drawing a crowd was to play Christian music pretty loudly. Landon couldn't let this opportunity pass for entertaining the crowd. One woman told Stan, "He dances as if he has no bones!" (See picture 5.)
