And the beat goes on

The day started with a 4:30am perimeter hike. That means a group of us hiked the boundary of the property here at El Refugio. This brought us to an elevation of 11,000 feet. That is 1,700 feet higher than the buildings that we are staying in. This was just a warm-up for the day of work that was ahead of us. More progress was made on the projects that we have been working on, but even better, we got to sit in on the Youth World staff meeting that is held at El Refugio once a month. This was truly a blessing to see the love that this group has for each other and how they are committed to their work here. During the meeting we got to hear from a missionary couple that is returning the states after 32 years in South American missions. They were an encouragement to all and Scott is sending for Tina and the kids to come down to take over their mission. JK… For dinner we had the privilege of tasting some of the Qui. This is the small rodent that we are building the new home for. It is considered a delicacy here in Ecuador. The night was finished off with a great time of discussion with our group that has brought us all closer together as a team and on an individual basis. Be sure to ask us about it. Some may not return…
