After church all 16 of us and our missionaries rode standing up in the back of a pickup to the mall to each lunch! That was a blast!! Some tried the local cuisine, some had Pizza Hut and some had Chinese!
A group of guys from the church were meeting with 2 other church this after noon to go play soccer together! The kids were all excited to get to play and watch REAL soccer!
Tonight we met with the Ecuadorians that will be going to the jungle with us tomorrow and then had dinner together. Making plans and practicing the puppets, songs and dramas that we will be doing while we are there. We had a homemade meal of chicken, rice and vegetables mixed together and fried plantains, it was delicious!
We head to the jungle tomorrow. Our first day we will be traveling to the village where we are staying near the jungle. We will meet up with the missionaries we are going to be working with and we will do our drama presentations, some music and puppet show in that village. Before our performance we will canvassing the area to invite people to come and see what we are doing.
Glenn & Sherri McGhee are great missionaries to work with! They had a group that was on their way out as we arrived. We actually were here for a few hours together. They are exhausted but are keeping things moving right along for us.
Everyone is doing great so far! We are at approximately 9,000 feet here where we are staying. The elevation has been a little hard to get used to. As we travel we will continue climb higher and higher! At one point we will reach 13,800 feet!
We probably won't be able to post anything again until we return from the jungle on Thursday afternoon.
Here are a few pictures from today. Thank you all for praying for us!
