First Week of Change 2

¡Hola!

Wow sounds like everything is going great at home! that must be so much fun to have Melissa and Sean and the kids there! it was great to get there email too! I hope you have a great camping trip! and good luck with the fishing! I hope you catch some. It reminds me thats one thing that is super awesome about this sector, we get to have fish! Like the last few nights have been really awesome here. Friday night was especially neat. We had an appointment with one family but when we got there we found that they were one block down with their extended family (it was funny, their 8 and 9 year-olds told us that they were over there eating fish! lol). So we walk over there and find all of them with all their other family having what was like a big family get-together, barbequing fish. We realized quickly that we weren´t going to be able to have much of a formal lesson, but they insisted that we stay and have some fish and rice. It was our last cita for the night so we decided to stay. I don´t know why but the whole atmosphere just seemed surreal. It was so neat to see the whole family all together there in a little alley space between two houses of concrete blocks and part tin roofs sharing a meal. Oh and guess who they served the fish! They gave me the plate with rice, potatoes and fish, head-tail-n-all :). it reminded me of what Bro. Wilhite said about what it´ll be like in Ecuador and how they serve food, just slap down a fish head and all, lol. Now I can´t remember really if that sounds really gross now because here when I got the plate it really just looked and smelled delicious. It made me smile to see it with a head and tail, lol. It was nice to spend a little time just with a family that kind of reminded me of our family get-togethers. It was just a neat experience that reminded me that I really am in Ecuador and doing all the things I heard stories about as a youth. :)...
