Another incredible day!--Julia Wofford

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure who else has been able to post, but I did hear from both the Santo Domingo team and the Sardinas/Coca teams and everyone is well and thriving.  Lots of work and play and praising God.

Today in Quito, our group of possibly the nine most willing and sweet high school students on the planet, along with Kasey Floyd and myself, finished painting the church.  It was a marathon job and we are all bone tired, but happy and filled with joy.  I am so proud of our kids for their open spirits and ready attitudes that I could just burst. 

After the grueling paint job, we were treated to beef, mashed potatoes and rice followed up with star fruit and ice cream.  Our cooks are truly spoiling us rotten.  It was beyond delicious.  Anyway, after that supper we had youth group with eleven youth from here and our group.  We sang and shared, Michael Porter was able to share a beautiful testimony, and studied the great commission together.  Then we hit the crazy busy streets outside Elohim Foundation and passed out tracts and invited people to church tomorrow night.  It was really awesome to see the Ecuadorians partner with the Americans and engage the people with the message of salvation.  I got a marriage proposal along the way, but I am growing accustomed to that on the streets of Ecuador;)  When we all reconvened at the church to play a crazy game of human foosball with balloons.  All cultural barriers disappeared after only a couple of minutes of that.  It was a free for all and everyone had a blast.  We had to make the kids stop so that those who had walked could return home at a reasonable hour.  Everyone is happy and full of the Holy Spirit tonight.

Please pray for the teams that are on the road tomorrow returning from Santo Domingo and Maderos (the Coca and Sardinas teams are all together in Maderos tonight).

I'm sure that you will hear lots of reports from the teams coming in tomorrow.  Our group will be visiting a nursing home here while they are en route.

Que Dios les bendiga! (May God bless you all!)
Julia
