Hola everyone!! 

I’m a little late on posting this, but I am so grateful to officially be here in Ecuador! Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for all of the financial support, encouragement and most importantly, all of your prayers. God is showing me more and more of His faithfulness through each of you as you have come alongside me in so many different ways through this journey thus far. Below will be a quick re-cap of this past week and a half 🙂 

-Training camp: 3 days of amazing teachings, times of worship, team time, bucket showers (LOL), sleeping on the floor and more of God’s goodness through it all. (Also have some awesome stories of God working and speaking into my life in those 3 days- but will share at another time). 

-Host home: Inca Link! Our incredible hosts, Fabi and Mabe, have made our first week here such a comfortable and safe environment for me and my team. We have been able to put in work days around the house to help them and their precious ministry. What a blessing it has been!! 

-Ministry: Pan de Vida! This organization specifically helps the homeless and refugees in the local area by meeting the following needs: feeding program, micro-business opportunities, rebuilding of homes and sharing the love of God with all they come in contact with. My team and I have been able to come alongside of them and serve in any way they need. Today I was able to help serve in the kids ministry. What a crazy and fun time! (More details to come!) 

Two rest and adventure days have been allotted to us as well. It has been an incredible opportunity to spend sweet time with the Lord, explore this beautiful country and meet it’s precious people. Please pray that me and my team would make the most of every opportunity, come to know God more and to make Him known wherever we go! 

The journey has just begun <3
