Well, maybe not quite yet . . . but they are welcome lifers at the camp, and they have already brought amazing amounts of joy and love to our little clan. We were only supposed to get the cat, but we barely survived our animal-market experience without having to open a private zoo! We have a self-imposed restraining order on any future animal-market visits!!!! Skipper, the dog, and Skittles, the cat, are well on their way to training us all.
Many people have asked about a mailing address:
Donald and Amanda Murray
Casilla 0906-2316U
Guayaquil
ECUADOR
This address will get mail to a post box in Guayaquil (our nearest big city), then we'll pick up mail from a missionary who lives in Guayaquil and regularly collects the mail on behalf of other missionaries in the country. Envelopes seem to arrive just fine, even paddled ones, but I guess there has been some problems receiving boxed packages.
There's just under two weeks until Christmas, and we don't expect to have blog-able internet access again until the new year, so we do want to wish each of you a VERY Merry Christmas!
Next weekend, we'll be driving into little mountain villages, doing live nativity skits, Christmas games, songs, and giving out presents. We are really excited!!!! The Orellana family that are full-time missionaries at the camp, even have a four month-old baby to go in the manger that Don is building. We women (with Ethan along to help) are in the city today shopping for the children's gifts to give out, then both of our families will be spending the week wrapping.
Blessings to you and your extended families this Christmas! We'll be praying for you. Please do pray for our extended families, for health and joy and peace; we miss them!
