Day Off

Staff training finished well.

It's been awesome to see the dyanmic partnership Youth World has with many different churches and programs in Quito. It's been great to hear from the Pastors how the short term teams positively impact their churches and communities for Christ.

My stomach is feeling a lot better. Thank you so much for your prayers.

Last night, we had a celebration dinner that the staff made for us on the roof of an apartment building. We did some salsa dancing and had delicious Mexican food. It was a great time of fellowship.

Today, we had the day off. I slept in and us guys went to lunch at a cafe not too far from our apartment. Afterwards, we went to the grocery store. This afternoon I was able to go running for half an hour. It's a little bit different running at 10,000 ft above sea level!

Tonight, the female interns are all cooking us dinner! :) I can't wait!

I found out yesterday I will be leading a team to the Jungle to a village called Shandia. We will be working alongside the Waodani Indians, visiting Palm beach, (where Jim Eliot made contact with the Waodadani), and putting on a VBS for the children.

I am so excited to see God work this next week and see him in a new way.

Please pray for health and protection.

Blessings on your week!
