Hola!

     This past week has been so crazy, because we had our first and biggest group of International World Changers here...there were about 130 people total, and it was so much work, but it was awesome! There were many people saved and we had a baptism service for some of the nationals at the end of the week. Tomorrow our next group comes...this week is family week, and only about 17 people will be here, which is a BIG change from this past week, but it will be much more relaxed for sure!

     We found an apartment about the third day we were here, and it is so awesome! It is close enough to Debbie and David's (the missionaries') house that we can walk, and it's very close to the Super Maxi, which is like the Ecuadorian equivalent to Wal-Mart.

     This coming week pray that the nationals we are working with grow closer to understanding their purpose in God's kingdom, because it is difficult at times for them to understand that they don't need to do works do be a part of it. Also pray that the American families get here safely (their flight was delayed a day due to storms in Houston) and that God will work through them with the Quichua communities this week. More updates to come in a few weeks!

Dios te Bendiga!
