Friday was my cousin’s daughters 18th Birthday. I
can’t believe she is 18! It made me realise how fast time passes. It also made
me realise how much I want to return to England and spend time with many
children that I know and love. I want to enjoy that time whilst they are still
children.
Friday evening was the monthly Latin Link meeting in Quito.
It was a time to say goodbye to 3 people who have been here for 6 months. More
goodbyes! Quito was SO cold! It is amazing how just traveling 3 hours from
Santo Domingo, you can be in such a different climate!

Saturday morning I helped at a fun day with some teachers
who teach “values” in the school. It was a privilege to be part of it. The
teachers teach the children important life values. Being the month of “El Amor
y la Amistad” (Love and friendship) the children were told about what it means
to be a real friend. Friendships and relationships are complicated and
sometimes hard work. No-one is perfect. If you spend your time looking for the
perfect friend you will end up friendless. Friendships can be such a great
blessing and bring so much joy. I am very blessed with my friends. My book of
encouragements is now overflowing. I have had to add extra pages in it. Words
and cards of encouragements I have received go into my book. It reminds me how
blessed I am.
