Today was the start of our week at Mision Emaus. For some of us it was full of happy reunions and others were making new friends, but everyone was greeted with the same contagious love and joy that absolutely radiates out of the church and its community. Our work this week involves eventually pouring a new concrete roof for the building (but before that there are a number of tasks that need doing, such as moving piles of rocks), as well as leading a VBS and "Choir Camp." Lourdes is as spunky as ever, and the hill to and from the church down which lunch must be carried is as steep and windy as ever. Rocks were moved, butterflies were made (from coffee filters!) and songs were sung. If today is any indication (and I fully expect that it is), our time here at Mision Emaus promises to be every bit as amazing as before.
After a full day of work at Emaus, we had the privilege of eating at Cameron and Roberto Vivanco's house, which happens to have one of the most fantastic views of Quito (that I've included below for your viewing pleasure).
Tomorrow we return to Emaus. God is good!
