IWC Ecuador

I have been nothing but a BUM since coming home, but after a week I'm ready to get back into blogging. Here's a look at the International World Changers trip in Ecuador that I helped Coordinate for the International Mission Board. These pics are in a random order, but here goes!

I may have been involved in a dance-off. Regardless, I did not win. The more I look at this picture the scarier it gets.

Oh how precious are these children! I'm posting cute pics of just kids on the photography blog if you want to ooh and ahhhh over how darn cute Ecuadorian kids are! Ecuadorian adoptions are difficult, fyi. Otherwise, I would probably have about 6 here in Mobile with me now.
I handed my Nikon d60 to a seven year old and asked her to take this picture. Bah ha! She did good though!
Ok- this was my buddy all week. Her name is Avigail, and no I could never pronounce it right. I thought it was like Abigail but with a "v" but it's not. She is SO SMART though and I really loved how she tried to communicate with me even though my Spanish was terriblisio (not spanish).
This looks like ice cream, but it doesn't melt. We found out what it is.... lard with sugar and eggs. SICK!
The lady is one of the fabulous translators and her daughter, along with three of her "gringitos" as she called them. These guys were so much fun and I am heavily recruiting them for Mississippi State.
Our two adult male chaperones. They were very mature....
POOL SMACK! The only game where you get to throw a ball as hard as you can, while inside a volcano pool (minus the water) in hopes of nailing someone in the back.
This was breakfast one morning.... The green part is banana leaves, the brown things are raisins, and the white part tastes like a pancake. It wasn't terrible.
And here's the group, translators and all. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News.
