Herb and Ellen Alexander had talked about this trip for 32 years, but never really took the time to go. Recently some friends had passed away from cancer and it made them realize that if they don’t do it now, they may never get the chance to go. With some help from dear friends, they made plans, took off and had a great time. God has really blessed them in so many ways. They appreciate their church family for helping to make this possible by giving them the time off to take this long-awaited honeymoon. “Thank you so much, Grace Christian Church for your love, support and prayers. Mahalo.”

On March 8 - 17, Von Rae and Aleisha Guiler traveled to Ecuador with Dr. Bob Chase and the Marietta College Petroleum Engineering program and company. The first few days were spent in the capital city of Quito, where they visited La Ronda Street, San Francisco Church, Pichincha Volcano, and the Botanical Garden. In the following days, they hiked to about 16,000 feet at the Cotopaxi Volcano, stayed at a three hundred year old haunted hacienda, toured the Naranjo Rose Plantation, and even managed to witness the Tungurahua Volcano erupting. In addition to the other activities, the group rode a train to Devil’s Nose and visited a Panama Hat Factory in Cuenca. They also hiked around Cuicocha Lake and shopped at some of the local markets. Overall, they had a great time and enjoyed learning about other cultures and seeing new places.
