Our family continues to enjoy singing during this restrictive time. Dan's sisters joined him in Ecuador from Canada and Florida, via video, to record an old favorite...He Leadeth Me!
​We thank our mom, Debra Doyle, who gave us the love of music and harmony, but most of all, an example of one who loves Jesus, her husband and family. One day we'll join you in Heaven's choir, but until then, we'll go on singing here. We love you, Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

We are looking into possibilities of getting back to the USA. However, there are few, if any, flights. They are charging double right now, if they go at all. Please pray God works out the details in his time. We would like to be back in the States by the end of May/early June. We will have to do a 14 day quarantine at that point.

We're cooped up like everyone else. So what do we do besides regular school? 

Audra and Dan built a humming bird feeder, we've played with making videos, we recorded a song (It Is Well) and we're practicing more music. We're reading a book together called, "Joyfully at Home" about becoming a young woman, preparing for future. We watch Little House on the Prairie at night before bed. We try to walk the cow paths once a day. That takes us along the river and the dogs swim for a while. Our curfew is 2pm, so we're restricted later in the day.

Dan continues to mentor guys online, taking them through "Principles of Bible Study" and a couple others in "OT survey". We're going to kick off another "virtual course" in May. Also trying to keep up relationship with pastors I work with here in Cuenca and in Quito, not to mention back in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
​
So...it's enough to keep us busy! Haha! We are just a little crazy by not being able to get out and see people face to face. They're talking about stricter measures here. If that happens, we may try to leave earlier...maybe beginning of June instead of July. We have to store our belongings and get passports for our four oldest girls first. Dan's sister sent birth certificates that should arrive April 13, then we can see about renewing passports.
​
We're just going a day at a time and wait and see.

Let us know what you're doing!

See how God uses relationships to strengthen His church.
