Sunday

Sunday:  Today has been a great day full of ministry, relationship
building and seeing more of the culture of the people of Ecuador.

We started the day with a very Ecuadorian meal of green plantain
bananas, cheese with an egg.  Then we were off to church.  The 10:00am
service started about 10:30.  We enjoyed a very different (and loud)
worship time together with all the church and then shared with two
songs of special music.

We then split up with most of us going into the Sunday School with the
30 children that were there.  We again did a VBS type program with
them with a Bible story, refreshments and a craft.  The rest of us
stayed in the church service where 4 of us shared testimonies and I
preached a short message.

We enjoyed very much our time with the church and getting to know the
people there a bit.  They especially asked prayer for their need for a
pastor.

After church and lunch (which the church blessed us with) we headed
home, stopping at the continental divide at 13,000 feet and then for
some last minute shopping for Ecuadorian chocolates.

We made it safe back to El Refugio by 8:00pm.  Thank you for your prayers!
