Why Quito?

Over the weekend we, the missions team going to down to Ecuador in May, had a fundraiser dinner, it was a great night, a great meal and there were great testimonials shared. Amongst all the ruckus, I was able to build up my courage and get up on the stage and share with everyone, why I was going to Quito; so here it is.

Dearest Readers,  

Around this time two years ago, I was skeptical about going on my first Missions trip; Panama; but despite all uneasiness, I went. And it was the most powerful, influential, eye opening, spiritual experience I’ve had thus far. The people in Panama were so kind, so generous and so thankful for any and all work we did for them, whether we were good at our tasks or not, macheteing sugar cane, chopping fire wood or planting the next seasons harvest, they were thankful. Being there just made me want to help, want to push myself through my uncertainties and aid in anyway I could.  Now I have a chance to go to Quito, Ecuador on another short missions trip, when I heard about the opportunity to go to Quito, my heart skipped a beat and I didn’t even have to think twice if this was God calling me to go again.  I was overwhelmed by how quickly God reassured me that he wanted me on this trip. This mission in particular hits home for me and falls right in to exactly what I am doing in life right now; teaching and working with children.  I’ve always known that I had a special connection with children and the desire to brighten their day with a story, puppet show or a craft. Now we are heading to Quito to work at a kids club. I couldn’t be more excited to go and use my talents and skills I have gained over the last year. Already just planning activities and art for the children is a constant reminder of how good God is. The anticipation is growing more and more each day, receiving constant updates from Robbie on the club and the children there is so great and I cant wait to share with all of you what and how God is working through the club and Robbie down in Quito.

These are all the children that we will be working with while in Quito, I can already tell which ones are going to be a handful! haha. 
Please keep them in your prayers for now and always. Thanks all. 


Meet the Kids!
