Day 18 in Ecuador

The field by la Casablanca

Another relaxing day ensued for Day 18. We didn't head to church until around 11:00 so we had time in the morning to relax which was very nice. The church service was very nice today. There is something special about worshiping in another language. I have grown to really enjoy the church even though it is hard to understand at times.

After church we ate out at a delicious restaurant and then made our way back to la Casablanca. When we got back, we got to skype the Peru interns. It was awesome to get to talk to them for a little bit but also made me miss them more! Keep praying for them as they have Missions teams coming down this upcoming week that they will be leading.

We then had the opportunity to play soccer against the local Ecuadorian family again that we played against last week. This time we mixed up the teams and once again had a blast. The grandmas watching in the stands were so sweet and loved getting to watch us play.

We had to leave after about an hour of playing to go back and eat a quick dinner. We had plans after dinner to go play more soccer with the Browns at a 7v7 turf field. This was tons of fun and a lot more competitive than our pick up game earlier. We played against some other Ecuadorians and ended up winning 5-2.

These pics just don't get old.

Today was filled with a lot of fun. It was great to get to hang out with the interns all day. We also had some good conversations about tough topics and life. It has been a huge blessing to get to know these interns so well over the past couple weeks and to build strong relationships with them. Praise God for all the encouragement and support he provides!

Another short post, but another good day. Be praying for this upcoming week that Dale and I would be able to get a good amount of work done for Joseph and that we would glorify God in the process!

Dios Bendiga,
