Hi again! It has been an another amazing day in beautiful Ecuador!!! On day 3 our team continues to experience new and exciting things. After a delicious breakfast provided by our gracious hosts we all loaded up on to the back of a truck and headed to the church work site for a morning of construction. Once we convinced the suprised tarantula to move along we started digging the foundation footers for the new church. You would be proud of our team as everyone worked hard along side our new friends from El Carmen. You would never know that we spoke different languages if you looked around at the many exchanges of words, looks and touches.
After a nutrious lunch and short rest we loaded back on the truck to one of our favorite places so far, the school where we get to have Vacation Bible School(VBS) with the local children. Our hearts are filled with joy and excitment when we see the kids running down the dirt road towards our truck. We spent about two hours loving these kids by playing with them, teaching them about Jesus and just making special bonds. You will have to ask one of the team members about our Ninja game.
After VBS we piled back on the truck ready for a much needed trip to the river. Even though the river looked more like choclate milk today and was running fast, we did not waste any time jumping in for some fun and cleanliness. The 30 minute truck ride back through the banana and mango fields air dried us with spectacular looking hair styles.
That is all we have for now but we hope to be able to give you an update soon.
P.S. Everyone is healthy and happy!
