El Corrido del Torro, Missions conference, etc


Just a few pictures from a bullfight (un Corrido del Torro) we went to near Sanguaquil
Me with Angel (a Waorani), his sister, and Daysi
Me with two more Waorani friends. It was difficult to pronounce their names, so I will try to figure them out and write them later. The man in the picture (and his wife) are Christians and going to be trying to reach a different sect of Waorani that have had almost no contact with outsiders (they kill everyone who tries to contact them because they believe that everyone is cannibals except for them). It is extremely dangerous, but they are preparing to make the trek deep into the jungle near the border of Ecuador and Peru. They were extremely kind to me and on the second day of the conference gave me a crown made of a weeved plant material and parrot feathers.

Me with Linda and Lloyd Rogers. They have served as missionaries in the Jungle regions of Ecuador since the early 1960s. Lloyd (Don) Daniel Rogers lent me a book called "Jungle Pilot" about Nate Saint-it was given to him in 1959.


Just a picture from the top of the Andrangos house facing the center of the city.
