We were able to travel to Ecuador as a family during July, well, for the most part as a family. The kids and I (Joel) were there July 7th through July 20th and Kim was able to be there the 12th through the 20th. It was the first time back for the kids and I since we moved away pretty much a year ago. It was so wonderful to be back!
We were able to spend time with friends in Quito and go to many of our favorite places. The majority of our time was spent in Cayambe where we could visit the Children’s home and the kids there and be with the staff of the five projects. It was such a wonderful time of reconnecting with our staff and the kids. I was able to share a devotional with them as well as share an update on how we have been doing.
Additionally, there was a visitng team from Berlin, CT and our supporting church Bethany Covenant Church. With them, we were able to partner in doing vbs, a construction project and a medical caravan.
We had such a great time and it was hard to leave again. We can’t wait to go back!
