Victory

So, we did a lesson about Joshua defeating the Amelakites, and our "craft of the day" was a victory banner. Pastor Mejia stepped in waving the Ecuador flag to help with the relation. (It did help that Ecuador played Mexico in soccer that night...and won, of course.)

Days like These...

As I metioned before, Monday, we got right to work on painting the nursery area and mudding the walls of the dining hall. In the afternoon, the Pastor's wife and son took us to a nursing home that they regularly visit. We gave out some clothes and toothbrushes to the abuelos and Micah and Anna sang a few songs for them. They enjoyed it like crazy. Then we simply sat around and just listened to stories that we did not understand (because of language). Micah walked around and serenaded several of the ladies. "Muy Linda" they would say, which means you're so beautiful.
After the nursing home, we went to the Teen Challenge program. We gave them all new toothbrushes as well. Micah and Anna sang again, and Anna gave a little testimony/encouraging word to the guys that was very moving.
While neither of those afternoon visits were on our original agenda, we were very blessed to be a part. Everyone on the team has been great, and very flexible.

Buenos!!!

On Tuesday we started off our day by climbing a Volcano, Gua Gua Pichincha at Volcano Park. We took a gondola and ended up being about 14,000 ft up. When we reached the top it was a view unlike no other. We all were in awe at God´s beautiful creation. It was amazing to be above the clouds and look down and see planes flying below us.

Hola!

We had a little delay in getting some images posted, but hopefully we´ve fixed our technical problems. The team arrived safely Sunday night and this is a shot of us in front of our hotel, La Vieja Cuba. We went right to work on Monday at Foundaccion Elohim. The girls mostly painted and Micah and Kyle did a little mud-slingin´.
