Alright, this is going to be a short, informative blog just to keep you all updated. Today we leave Atlanta for Ecuador. My squad and I have been in Atlanta for training and more. Some since Saturday, and the rest since Sunday. It has been a great time of growing and learning together. So today, we fly from Atlanta to Houston, TX, with a layover for a few hours there, and then we fly to Ecuador. The first month is all squad month, which means all fifty-five of us will live together. We will have different ministry, though, depending on which team you are on. My team will be working with teens, but that is all we know. The host in Ecuador asked for all of the team’s ministry bios, they prayed over them, and then put us in the different ministries. Usually Adventures in Missions assigns our ministries to us, but since the host requested to do it, they were able to. I found it really awesome that the host took the time to read through the bios and assign us ministries. Everything I have heard about our host has been good, so I am very excited to meet them. Thank you for all of your support and prayer. Please continue to pray for us as we leave. Pray for safe travels, good health, for us to hear and follow what God is saying to us, and anything else you feel called to pray about. May you have a blessed and amazing day!
