Week 27
This week started with a trip to the circus! It was quite the experience to go to a traveling Brazilian circus in Ecuador. There were trapeze artists, lions, clowns and men that drove motorcycles in a metal globe.
The rest of the week was fairly normal. We had classes and our Wednesday ministry day during the week. Our children’s ministries have been going very well and they are a highlight of the week for our students and (hopefully) for the children as well.
Over the weekend groups spent time in Quito, went horseback riding on one of the local mountains and a group traveled to Tena (one of the towns in the jungle).
Prayer: Praise for Michael deciding to return to our community. Please continue to pray for his mother and her health. Continue to pray for the details related to the closure of CBC and selling all three properties owned by CBC.

My favorite and least favorite part of the circus was the dance party. I didn't think they would exploit children a well as animals.
