• Ecuador Update #1

  The travel day was a success. We didn´t have any major snags besides having to repack the bibles into different boxes before checking them on the flight. I overpacked as usual and had to remove all my books from my bag to get it down 2 lbs. Sad. Try as I might, packing light is hard for me. I always think ¨What if?¨and pack accordingly. So I haven´t regretted bringing anything, but I wish I have brought more sweaters and a heavy jacket. It is VERY chilly here at night.

  Ok typing on a spanish keyboard is only slightly less difficult than speaking in spanish. Which has gone well - my spanish is much better than I expected and that has been a relief. Our team is INCREDIBLE: All hard workers full of good attitudes. We seem to only get bad attitudes when we have nothing to do - everyone is so dedicated and selfless. The first 2 days here have been work days and we have gotten many of the church projects completed in record time.

  We have laughed a lot. We are the weird, loud Americans and we seem to have fun everywhere we go. I also think we have taken around 500 photos as a team so far. Holy moley.

  Last night was the first of 4 nights of worship workshops that I am leading. It was a bit chaotic, but I was able to share my heart with them and they were very recpetive. We had ministry time at the end my team was ready on the spot to pray for people. Tonight we have another worship seminar and the rest of my worship team is sick with stomach virus. So pray for Manny and Paul that they would recover quickly.

   

  
  Ok computer time is up. I love you all - thanks for your prayers and support.
