As the days draw closer to Christmas, there are many things happening at the mission. This past week we bought some gifts for the 29 small children here. What did we buy? Underwear and towels. This is what they told us they needed most. The pictures are above.
Yesterday we went to a water park about an hour away with 150 of the kids here. A family from Guayaquil (the city) rented the park for the day and two buses to transport all the kids. The kids were so excited just to be on a bus and when they got to the park they ran around to all the slides and pools until it was time to go. It didn't matter that it was cloudy and a bit cold. The kids loved every bit of it.
A special "Thank you" to all the members who have donated to the mission through the website. Your contributions really make a difference in these children's lives. I hope you are are well.

Merry Christmas Jim.
What's to-day, my fine fellow?
To-day? Why, Christmas Day.
It's Christmas Day! I haven't missed it. The Spirits have done it all in one night. They can do anything they like. Of course
they can. Of course they can. Hallo, my fine fellow!
Hallo!
Do you know the Poulterer's, in the next street but one, at the corner?
I should hope I did.
An intelligent boy! A remarkable boy! Do you know whether they've sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there? Not the little prize Turkey; the big one?
What, the one as big as me?
What a delightful boy! It's a pleasure to talk to him. Yes, my buck!
It's hanging there now.
Is it? Go and buy it
