Celebration and Sharing Time Sunday Night

Hello all! We apologize for the lack of posting for the past couple of days. The internet has not worked very well here at the Hotel Tambo Real, and today we spent ziplining through the cloud forest in the Andes Mountains. We leave Quito for North America in a few hours.

We would like to invite you to our time of SHARING & CELEBRATION on this coming SUNDAY NIGHT, JUNE 2 from 6-7:30 at Crossroads. We will provide a meal and will spend some time individually sharing about our experiences and will reveal the video from the week. Of course we have lots of pictures that will be rolling during dinner and while we share. 

ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF OUR 18 TEAM MEMBERS ARE WELCOME!!!

We will keep posting to this blog next week even though we will be back in the States by then!

Thank you again for your prayers and we hope to see you Sunday night!

Sunday and Monday pics

This is my favorite photo so far. Alex Webb grabs Mom Donna Jo as he sets eyes on Mama Yoli's, the daycare and church he worked on in 2008. Alex's whole family is on this year's team! Mama Yoli's now provides education and daycare for hundreds of children in this community and is also the home of Living Water United Methodist Church.
First morning construction team helps pull the rebar up to the second floor of the building we are working on this week. Two years ago, the team helped set the foundation of this daycare. This year we are helping construct the second floor!

Abby and a pack of lions at this morning's VBS!

Erica enjoyed her time on the slide this morning! See the beautiful mountains in the background of this park with an amazing view of Quito's mountainside.
