Dear Friends and Family,
Training continues to go well. It's fun getting to know everyone!
We visited a Quecha school here in Quito. It was started by a local pastor who had a dream to provide the indigenous community with a Chirst centered education. With the help of generous donations, he runs a school from Kindergarten through third grade. It was awesome to play with the kids and lead them in songs about the love of God. I played my guitar (which I am really thankful I could bring it down) and sang with the other staff. I then translated for the first time for the pastor.
After visiting this school, we visited a different church who is expanding their building to provide medical services to the community. As I lead teams, we will be helping in finishing their roof to expand their ministry.
In addition to translating and singing Spanish songs, I also ordered for the whole group for dinner with one other girl on staff. It is very rewarding to take all of these first steps in my Spanish "camino" or journey in learning Spanish.
Please continue to pray:
for my health, my stomach has been a bit upset :(
Unity for the team
Great recall of all the things we are learning in training.
Besitos (Ecuadorian greeting: touch cheek to cheek and make a kissing sound)
Benediciones! :D
