After a wonderful day of work and closing Eucharist on Wednesday, we spent Thursday packing the bus. one final presentation at Youth World Headquarters complete with good-byes to staff, and then touring the "Middle of the World"- the museum and monument demarcating the equator.<br />
<br />
With time to wander as a large group, share a final meal at a restaurant and do some final shopping- we then headed out to El Refugio for time to savor God's creation in the outdoors. El Refugio is a retreat center run by Youth World and gave us the opportunity to reflect on our week in small groups, solo in hiking and being in the outdoors, and then as a large group.<br />
<br />
We ended our time at El Refugio with roasting hot dogs, making s'mores, and singing camp songs. Before we boarded the bus to get to the airport, we spent time in prayer and our hands were anointed for the mission we were departing and embarking upon simultaneously.<br />
<br />
Our flight departed at 11:30pm and arrived in Atlanta just right before 6am on Friday morning.<br />
We departed each other's physical company when we finished customs and those who drove went off to the right and the rest departed to check in and continue their journey home by airplane.<br />

We arrived and immediately began our tasks, painting, making and pouring concrete, painting murals, preparing lunch, and catching up with the parish.<br />
We stopped for lunch and the resumed work until 3:30pm when our closing Eucharist began. We ended our time with song and prayer and gathering one more time around the Lord's table. United as family we then sang and danced and ate one last supper together. With hearts full of love and breaking ever so slightly- we head into our final 24 hours in country. Keep us and our new brothers and sisters in your prayers.<br />

Education = Hope is a wonderful program that allows donors to provide the means for children to go to school. A program that began 10 years ago with a single child now provides the provisions for hundreds of children to go to school here in Ecuador and also for some in Haiti and Uganda.<br />
<br />
After our brief introduction to Education = Hope, we headed off to Casa Gabriel and heard about the ministry ther for boys who lived on the street and the infancy of Dalia, a similar ministry for girls. Phil and Desi told us their stories and then we had the opportunity to support Handmade for Hope's jewelry..also providing resources and job skills for the girls in the program Dalia.<br />
<br />
THEN we went off to Buen Pastor to begin our day. Today we all headed out to separate work sites. 5 different groups painting and cleaning "the church in the community"- the families of Buen Pastor. What a gift. We can back and resumed work at Buen Pastor and now will eat our dinner and reflect on the day!<br />
<br />
We are greatful for your support!<br />

What a wonderful begining to our day!<br />
THEN we split into work groups. We had folks moving dirt from a future building site to another location on the property, painting continued, some helped prepare our lunch, patching walls began, Plastering the new office continued and after a most delicious lunch, we even had Vacation bible School for the children. A WONDERFUL day of playing and working with our friends!<br />

Today we worshipped at Buen Pasteur with our friends we worked with on Friday, we learned with on Saturday at the Cathedral, and will join again tomorrow for more work and play.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were given the opportunity to worship with our friends and the Bishop and his family even came and joined us for service! What a wonderful service of joy and singing. Nathanial Hanson and Ben Cowgill gave part of the homily today and Father Juan Carlos also preached. It was a gift to be one together as a community today with Buen Pasteur.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lunch was had and then we were off to the Artisanal Market where we all found a little bit of Ecuador to bring home and share.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today's theme for the day has been "giftedness"- what is the gift you experience today?</div>

We gathered for worship, we sang, we danced, we played community building games and it is in the songs, dancing and games that our fear of language barriers and apprehension of comprehension melted away. What a wonderful day of worship, ministry, and love.<br />
We listened to a key note speaker, at the most wonderful lunch, shared in a workshop and then closed in Eucharist complete with the Bishop!<br />
We ended the day with dinner and de-brief. It was glorious.... Thanks be to God for a wonderful and wonderful new friendships!<br />

It might be easier for me to update on the home page rather than the travel page.... So here are today's pics!<br />
Today, as mentioned on the travel page, we hopped on the bus and traveled to our host site/partner in ministry site. After worship with them, we began our tasks!<br />
With the direction of Juan Carlos, pastor at Buen Pasteur (seen in picture with cookie below) we painted and scrapped the church.<br />
It was a great day of work and we are off to dinner!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We departed site and headed home around 3:45pm for our evening of dinner and debriefing! See ya manana!</span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Our First Full day in Quito!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After a very restful and quick night in our great hotel/hostel..we began the day with eggs, coffee, cereal and fresh fruit. Our orientation began with the whole group gathered with our Youth World hosts. Cameron Graham Vivanco, her husband Roberto, and son Graham joined us for introductions and then Cameron led our orientation at the Youth World Offices.</span><br />

After our orientation at Youth World, we went and ate lunch. Empanadas and yummy fruit abounded. Then we were off to the Basilica and the historic plaza to see and hear about the history of Quito.</div>
