After spending a FULL day of travel with a layover in Maimi, we made it safely into Quito, Ecuador late last night.  Customs was non-issue (praise God!) and our accomodations are exceptional.

Today we were blessed to worship with brothers and sisters in a small church in town.  I will share more when I return, but it was fantastic to be with another section of the kingdom I had never met before. 

Wendell played 3 songs in worship and I was graciously given time to speak (with an interpreter of course!).  Afterwards, some of the people stayed to work on the construction site of the new building project.  What sincere dedication to the cause.

We just finished watching the Superbowl here - in Spanish, of course.  Several people came in and there was nothing short of a feast to be had.  And I thought I wouldn't be eating much here.......

Tomorrow we start off on the first of the traveling leg to the jungle.  We will drive approx. 5 hours and then stay overnight.  The next day we will fly into the heart of the jungle and go precisely where Elliot and company ministered ('End of the Spear' story).

I won't be able to write for a couple of days.  But I hope to give an update as soon as we return here to Quito.  When we Wednesday we will be going into the prison to minister there.

Know you are all loved and missed.  Please pray for our safety and opportunity to serve. 

Peace and Blessings,
