Day 2: In Quito, Ecuador

We landed in Quito, Ecuador last night! Currently, I'm in the dining hall of the Nazarene compound.

So far, things are going great! It was a long day of flying. Started at 6:15 am Nov. 1. We drove up to St. Louis to catch our flight out. Made it to Atlanta in mid-afternoon. A breif layover and then the 5 hour flight across the caribbean and down into South America.

Today we're heading up the mountains to Riobamba, where we will be staying, and then it's on to the worksight.

Everyone is healthy, happy, and ready to get going! Continue to pray for our health and saftey. Pray that the work goes well and we stay ahead of schedule.

I'll have more thoughts on the country of Ecuador after we travel through more of it. I have some snap judgements about it after our breif drive through Quito, but not enough to get a more complete picture of what the country and culture are like. Needless to say, it's a lot different than the states. They certainly need as much prayer and support from us as we can give!

Blessings to my readers from Ecuador. Please continue to pray!

Ecuador Work and Witness

For the next 14 days I'm going to be coming to you from Riobamba, Ecuador as part of a Missouri Nazerene District Work and Witness trip! We're leaving today, Monday morning, and should arrive in Quito tonight around 10 pm.

I'll be updating my blog as much as I'm able to, hopefully every 2-3 days. Please pray for our trip, for the safety of the team, for safe travels, for productive work, and for us to reach the people of Ecuador with Christ!

The next time you hear from me, it will be from the field!
