Today was a holiday

Today was a holiday here in Ecuador - Dia de Cuenca. We slept in, ate pancakes, and then headed to Puyo for some swimming. The place we went has become popular with the missionaries. There were about five families there and the pool was full of kids enjoying the day off from school.

This evening Dustin is sleeping over at Mark's house. I walked him over after dinner. Walking over in the dark, I told him a story from my days as an MK in Papua New Guinea. Dustin isn't too excited about walking in the dark, and I told him a story about a time Rick scared me in the dark as I walked home alone from Youth Group one Sunday evening. As I walked back home on the dirt road, I thought about how comfortable it is here, and how much it reminds me of my early days in PNG.
