Hey everyone!
I haven't posted a good update about how life has been recently...and I'm afraid this update won't explain much of that either...but I did want to share with all of you a radio story that was put together by a Virginia reporter who came to Quito. She contacted me about doing an interview about our work with refugees and the link below is part of what she put together. There will be another story coming out soon that will talk more about the work of the Mennonite church. The story that I am posting now is about a family that I have been working with for a number of months. They participate in our monthly workshops, come to church occasionally and I have visited their house 3 or 4 times as part of my accompany work with them. I hope you enjoy listening to their story. I'll try to write a more in-depth update soon!
Click on the link below and scroll down on the page to where it says "Captured by the FARC". Below their picture, there is a link with smaller letters that also says "Captured by the FARC". Click on that link to listen to the radio story.

Hi David! You don't know us, but we've heard a lot about you. We are good friends of your parents and of Benito Miller too. My name is Anita (I'm a GC grad too!) and my husband is Cristian. We are Chilenos attending Community Mennonite Church. We figured we ought to introduce ourselves since we've heard so very much about you! We heard you are coming to Harrisonburg soon and we hope we get to bump into you so we can meet. We recently started reading your blog and have very much enjoyed it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHey Anita and Cristian! I've actually heard a lot about you guys as well. Apart from hearing about you through my parents, I think you are also friends with some of my friends in Goshen. Anyhow, thanks so much for the message and I hope to meet you soon as well. I'll be back in Harrisonburg during mid July. Hope you guys are doing well! Un fuerte abrazo.
