Mission experience!

:)

Friends and family-
Today we started out the day by attending an english speaking church. It was a great experience attending a similar church but in a different culture. After we went to lunch and had empanadas and a delicious fruit bowl. We then got to go on a tour of the basilica which is a church that was built in 1910. I don't think I have ever walked up and down so many stairs (crowbars and chicken wire) in my life! Feet hurt just a little bit!! We walked around old town and saw many different churches and heard many different theories that have come from the churches. It was really great to learn about the culture we are in and try to understand where they are coming from. We took time to talk about our experiences from the day and talk about how god is using us here in Ecuador!
Talk to everyone soon!

We had a great day and had a lot of fun! We are looking forward to leaving to the jungle and serving the people of Shandia. We leave for that in the morning and will be there for about 5 days and will update the blog when we get back. Tonight we had youth world partnership orientation and talked about how we want to have a mission experience instead of a trip. Something that changes us and the ones around us for ever rather than a trip that ends when we get back.

Thanks again for all the prayers and support! Prayer for our bus ride tomorrow and open hearts would be awesome.

Thanks and God bless!
