Last day in Quito

 Here we are, packing. Tomorrow is the day we will fly home. 

Breakfast with pancakes, and then we had a moment of worship and devotion. We heard about the story of the 5 missionaries who were speared in 1956 in the same jungle we spent 4 days in. 

They were young men who gave their lives for a greater good. Like what we remember today on Good Friday. Our Savior gave himself to us so we can be free, so we can love the way he loved us. We remembered that love is sacrifice, and in order to live fully and bear fruit, like the seed, we are called to die to ourselves. 

Then we headed for our day in Quito - Museum of the center of the world was our first stop. Here are few pics (now your kids have their phones so we have less pics, ask them they will show you !)

It was great to experience the culture insights but also we did experiments while in the exact line separating the 2 hemispheres. It was very cool !

more bananas

Delicious empanadas for lunch !

The afternoon was dedicated to some shopping in both the artisanal market and a large grocery store where we bought coffee and chocolate !

Our hearts are full and we will need a little time to process all what happened and all the things God taught us. We pray you can have good conversations with your kids and that they really had a good time here in Ecuador and that the Lord worked in their hearts for the good. 

Thank you for your trust and for raising wonderful kids, We had lots of compliments from the people about their behavior and their heart to help and serve, and the respect they had for people. 

Glory to our God ! He is the One who makes all these things happens, the One who uses us even if He doesn't need us, in order to change our own hearts. 

We hope you will have a wonderful Easter time celebrating the resurrection of our Savior.
