Nice new shoes! Compliments of some very kind people.

Today we worked on many projects including electrical work at the hospital, painting at the new bodega, staining and painting at the schoolhouse, sorting donations for the kids, a couple of diligent workers did concrete work around the facility having to remove big rocks out of the ground with their hands (uff dah!), and making bookshelves to name a few. We had dinner at an outdoor grill named Abuelo's with a missionary family, the Freemans. The cement mixer got it's first of many uses today, a extremely important piece of machinery. This is a beautiful community that needs our help. We are blessed and grateful to be here.

The Nazarine church welcomed the team on Sunday morning for a service in espanol.

Fun with the kids was very special for all involved, with Jeff Holte cooking up delicious burgers for everyone.

Working hard, wish you were here       

Jeff Freeman (left, a mississippi native) explains the history of Nate Saint and the people who started helping in Ecuador in the 1940s.














The Nate Saint House was established in 1948 (left), with an airplane hanger (below left) contructed shortly after.

Many handmade items made by the indigenous people of Ecuador are available in the Saints House and help pay for their medical bills

Today we headed to Casa de Fe and were granted a tour of the grounds and facilities. There is a newly erected school building with multiple classrooms, a multi-use building where the children live, and a Tilapia pond in the early stages of use. We also sneaked a peak at the new cement mixer that is very much needed.
