MORE PICTURES FROM ECUADOR

They flew to Houston on Thursday morning early and had to spend all day in the Houston airport so Dave Oldham had to find a place to rest.

This is the car that they traveled around in at Catarama. It was a Mercedes Benz van and it is pictured by the church in Catarama.

Rog stayed in a home in Catarama where no English was spoken. He had a small Spanish dictionary but you can imagine trying to carry on a conversation in such a situation. He said they looked at each other a lot:) They showed him his bedroom and he slept in a mesquito net(pictured above). When they showed him the bathroom, he didn't quite get it. There was a wash tub with water dripping into it but he thought maybe the water was not completely turned off. The water was on but no pressure so the lady showed him that he needed to dip a pan into the tub of cold water and pour it over his head. That was the shower! He needed
to pour water into the toilet to flush it as well. Pretty primitive.

You see the laundromat in Catarama where they are washing their clothes in the river. The kids are playing in the water while Mom does the laundry.

Each of the churches that they visited gave the ministry team members gifts and the straw hats pictured were given in Catarama.

This is a homemade pump that was designed by some people that lived outside of the city.

Rog and Dave Oldham rode in this motorcycle rickshaw around Catarama.

We don't see pigs tied up in the US but you would see this in Catarama.

They knock the fruit down from the trees when they are hungry.

The Quichua children were trying to get a better view of the foreigners.

This is the radio station headquarters in Quito, HCJB. This is where Rog heard the Gospel as a child on his short wave radio. He would listen to it by the hour.

These are the huge satellite dishes that are part of the broadcasting equipment of HCJB.

This is the GMU(now Avant) guesthouse in Quito that was named after Roger Youdarian, one of the missionaries killed by the Aucas back in the 50's.

Rog is with the pastor and his wife from the Quito Church where they ministered.

This is an older part of Quito. They say it is over 100 years old.
