This is our last day in our cities and tomorrow we will go to Guayaquil for a day of relaxation. Today was a blessed day in all of our cities! God has delivered many in Ecuador by using his people! It was also hard for most of us, separating from our friends that we have met this week (especially for Millie). There was a service tonight that involved all eight churches and it was beautiful how our cultures were intertwined.

Today, I brought the Catholic Bible to the lady who would only listen and hear from that. Lola, the preacher's wife of our community, talked to her for a while and she accepted Christ. Kerstin is excited for her nationals because a woman who was a new Christian pledged to give her house for a cell group meeting one day every week.

During Emily and Craig's cell group meeting, Craig and an translater walked the street to find people to join them and a man named Leandro (who was already a Christian) walked by and said that he had a drinking problem and that he would like to pray with them about it. They prayed with him and looked at scripture together, Leandro bonded with the man I spoke of earlier in the week that was lonley and they became friends.

Yesterday, the soccer team had five teenaged boys accept Christ. One, who's name is Christian, hung out with them all of today. He and one of the nationals will be using the soccer ball ministry in his neighborhood to reach men and teenage boys for Christ.

Cathy had forty children in her children's meeting. I just wanted to add that because I thought it was amazing! P.S.- that's Milllie's group too.

God Bless(ed),
