Some First Goodbyes

Part of the life of a missionary is saying goodbye: goodbye to your homeland and family and friends in the states, but also to friends we get to know in out new "home".  Though we don't plan to leave Ecuador for over three more months, today we said our first "official" goodbyes to our good friends the Bartons who will be in the states for the next year.  Paul works as an anesthesiologist and Kim is a pediatrician.  Their four boys were good friends to our children, especially Josiah, who became Caleb's best buddy here.  They will be greatly missed by all of us in the missionary community.
