Week 28

This week was sort of a wacky week. Classes were all changed around due to the professors being out of town on different days, and because Tuesday was one of our all day ministry days for the term. We spent the day with the children from a local orphanage called For His Children. Part of our group took their toddlers to the Quito zoo for the morning and the other half of the group stayed behind to hold babies. It was a fun day of hanging out with little kids, going for walks with them, feeding them and helping to put them down for a nap. The students are still well into the traveling mode, but this weekend seemed to take a little break as the students spent most of the weekend studying and writing papers. There were several groups that got away for a night or two in Quito, and a group of adventurous guys who spent a cold cramped night on the side of a mountain. Today was the begining of Holy Week. There are things going on all week long in Quito, so today a couple of us went into old town and marched in the Palm Sunday parade, it was a fun and exciting clture experience.








Prayer for this week… This is a heavy week for papers, so prayer for motivation and the ability to stay awake and focus in class. Pray for safety as the students set out to explore the rest of Ecuador over our long weekend for Easter. Prayer for finishing well.
