Today, Salome took me to her families property in the country, a town called Guayabamba. It was one of the most beautifully cared for places I have seen here in Ecuador. The flowers were blooming everywhere and the trees were full of avacados, mandarines, and lemons. The gardens were so well taken care of and the owner lives in Texas!
Saturday a retreat group cancelled so we took the opportunity to clean the high ropes equipment and teach the process to the facilitators. At lunch time, we ran out of water and had to leave the rest for another occasion. But it was a sunny day and we finished work by doing an inventory of the games storage shed. The six "boys" decided to play ecua-volley where they play volleyball with a soccer ball. The girls (me included) decided we didn't want to be that rough on our wrists or hands!
I am involved in a women's Beth Moore study "Jesus, the One and Only". I am learning more about Jewish customs that teach me about how specific God is and faithful to His people. One interesting question came out of the study, "Do I turn to legalism when I don't hear from God or have a refreshing time with Him? God often uses a famine in our lives to work up an appetite for Him." May this encourage you to be faithful as He is faithful and full of grace as He is full of grace. God is always at work, even when He seems silent. John 5:17
Prayer requests: 1. Committment level of the facilitators, that they stick to what they say they will do and wisdom to know how to teach them responsibility. 2. Year end reports, plans, and inventories are filling up my time. That I would prioritize my time wisely to accomplish all that God wants me to do. 3. For a new roommate that God would provide someone who has a similar set of values and is trustworthy.
Blessings and thank you for being a part of the ministry!
