Unity

Hola from Ecuador!

Yesterday was a great day of team-building and unity for our team and the youth team from the local church.

After breakfast (baked oatmeal with milk, fruit, juice) we spent the morning playing team-building games and challenges. While the language barrier was a slight issue, we were able to bond with and enjoy time with the Ecuadorian youth.

After lunch (cream of potato soup (Ecuadorians eat a lot of soup), bread, pineapple; another delicious meal!) we had some intense afternoon experiences on the high ropes courses. And when we say high, we mean high! Each of us paired up with an Ecuadorian, had a harness and ropes attached to us, and walked across a lot of tiny, tiny ropes. It was intense but exciting (cf. picture).

Today we're heading to Shandia, in the jungle of Ecuador. We won't be in contact for 4 days, but we'd really appreciate prayer as our group and the Ecuadorian youth interact with the people of Shandia.

Thanks for all your prayer and support - we can't wait to share everything that's happening with you when we return!
