Week 26

This week was much more low key than the last couple of weeks have been. We have had a lot of rain and spent a lot of time reading and chilling out with one another. This week we had a few visiting friends from North Park and they went with out students and did fun things over the weekend.


One group went to Mindo and stayed in the jungle and went on a waterfall hikes and hung out. Another group went on a train from Quito to the Cotopaxi park.



Prayer Requests: One of our students had to leave at the end of the week to be with his mother who has terminal cancer. Both he and the community are mourning his absence and the uncertainty of his return.
