Hey all!! I don’t have much time, but I want to update you
on what is going on in my life.

1.       I am in Ecuador

2.       We are going to El Retain (a village of 20 or 30
families…aka: in the middle of nowhere in the jungle)

3.       We are going to be there for the month and there
is a school there that we will be doing construction on. Also Kids Club! The closest
ATM machine is a little less than 2 hours away, so therefore, probably no wifi…so
this may be my last update for awhile.

4.       I am broken…like usual.

5.       I am with our whole squad (all 7 teams) RIGHT
NOW and will be with only my team in a few hours, which I am super pumped for,
but yet will miss all my bro’s and sis’s that are in all the other teams.

6.       I am in Quito now and visited the city and it is
so amazing. I sorta feel like I am in Spain.

7.       I could go on forever, but to one last important
matter:

 
 
 
The DART GAME

Ok so this game is finally in full throttle here for the V
squad. It is soo much fun and I would put up a video of how it is played, but
it takes wayyyyy toooo long to upload video’s here, so you will have to do with
just pictures…

1.      
You make a circle with your fist.

2.      
Put this manmade dart gun up to your mouth

3.      
Make eye contact with someone

4.        “tut” the dart gun

5.        Person that made eye contact with you falls to
the ground

6.        The person on the ground makes a “V” on the neck
(using fingers) SEE BELOW

7.       
Anyone can come to the person on the ground and
pull out the “dart” (which is represented by being in the middle of the “V”) SEE BELOW

8.        The person can stand up again (SEE BELOW)

Ok so this game has grown quickly. It was just Lilly and I,
but thanks to my squad leader, Robbie, this game is in full force. We played
the dart game while playing volleyball with a hackie sack. It was EPIC. This also
broke out right before dinner, half the squad was on the ground…it’s amazing! I
will upload a video of this in action. You will have to deal with just pictures
now.

I could write so much more, but I have to pack!

I love you all and will maybe talk to you in a month! Please
keep praying for me, there is sooo much going on in my life right now.
