Today the female interns helped prepare some of the food for our water project trip. We leave tomorrow for an indigenous community who live over 12,000 feet. We will be helping them work on getting water into their community without having to walk many miles in order to get it. There are some rumors that we might be able to help them finish it. That would be really awesome to be able to see the community actually be able to use what we helped them with. We will work on the water project during the mornings and then do VBS with the kids in the afternoon when they come home from school.
There are many unknowns about this trip. It sounds like we will learn a lot from the experience and hopefully make a difference in their lives! I will not be able to update you until I get back either Thursday or Friday. If you could pray that we will be able to show the community God's love and that everyone will stay healthy, safe, and warm. :) Thanks!
Andra, great keeping tabs on you and your adventures! Bringing back memories :). Glad you could see the volcanoes....usually cloudy, huh? Can't wait to hear about your "water" adventure.

Thanks for the pictures and the updates! :) I realized this morning that I hadn't really signed up to follow your blog even though I thought I had.... got to love technology. I love your view from the roof of your apartment -- that's awesome. What have the temps in Quito been like? Hope you're staying warm and having tons of fun. If the water project needs digging, they've got the right girl for the job -- you dig out the beach and our horse shoe pits for fun! Crazy child. We're headed up to the lake this weekend for Father's Day. Kevin has commented three times already that, "The lake is going to be weird without Andra, don't you think?" It's official. He misses you too. Love you!
