The other day we went with mom and dad to this Iguana Park here in Guayaquil. We heard about it and followed the map to it. When we got there, I thought, this can’t be right. It just looked like a regular park. People were sitting on benches and walking around like nothing was special [...]

Thanks for praying! We got tickets to leave the 23rd which gives us plenty of time. That gave us a chance to visit Pocoata, our future home. We had a whirlwind trip and just got back. I will post pictures and comments later.
