Sunday

Today was a great day. We went to the University Baptist Church here in Quito and joined them during their worship service. We felt very welcomed by them because the pastor had the congregation say “Welcome” in English to us. It was very sweet. After church we went to KFC for lunch. Then we walked a couple of blocks to an artisans market and shopped for about an hour. Right now we are having some down time: some are resting, some are emailing, and some are watching football (we get NBC, CBS, and ABC here in the hotel!). Tonight we have arranged to use the sanctuary of University Baptist Church for our own version of RHCC´s prayer night. Laura (on our team) was a part of the planning team for this service so she is guiding us through what our brothers and sisters in Tennessee are going to be doing tonight. We look forward to joining our church body in prayer and spirit despite being on separate continents! I think it is ironic that the theme of our building campaign is “Wildest Dreams” because never in our wildest dreams did we think we would still be in Ecuador!!! Our God has a sense of humor.
