Good Friday in Quito

Wow what an amazing and challenging week in the jungle.  Yes the literal jungle - big bugs, lots of greenery and just last night a boa constrictor...  The students have been amazing!  3 hours of very hard work every morning followed by 3-4 hours of VBS each day.  Almost finished the very long sidewalk, but ran into a pretty substantial rain storm yesterday - yes California they get a lot of rain here.  What a work the missionaries are doing here!  Please keep them all in your prayers.  I would guess we had 150 kids at the VBS each day in our 3 sites.  They all heard the gospel message Wednesday and I know seeds were planted.  It was tough for the students to say good-bye to these wonderful little ones.  After a much easier 5 hour ride to Quito over a beautiful pass in the Andes, we are recuperating for more ministry the next two days.  It is a beautiful view sitting out in the yard looking over the thriving city of Quito with majestic mountains in the background.  Blessings to all, Mr. F.
