I haven’t stopped for a moment to write down all the things I wanted to about Quito Quest training this year. But here is a photographic glimpse of what has been happening for the past couple of weeks.
My guitar didn’t quite make it in one piece all the way to Ecuador.Liam (4) decided where all the toppings should go on the pizza.The Youth World team (mostly Casa G) made it all the way to the Finals in the Quito Cup.A good-looking team and their cheerleaders from Youth World.Cameron translates Ezechias’s presentation on Africa to the Youth World staff.A fish farm, as seen from the overlook at the restaurant outside Baños, Ecuador.The bridge was only a couple inches wider than our bus.No, really, this bridge was tiny.Jorge Luís pouring us some Guayusa in Tena, Ecuador.The canoe that took us 30 minutes up the Napo River to Bella Vista, Ecuador.And look at that, our canoe was named “Guayusa” too.Organizing games with the kids in Bella Vista, Ecuador.Francis helped make dinner when we got back to Quito.Italian food during Quito Quest’s traditional “Fancy Dinner”Fancy Dinner. Absolutely the nicest this group will look during our entire 78 days.We must be official, now that we’ve got T-shirts.

Interns Ezechias and Morgan, Director Cameron, Administrator Rocio, Maestro Danny, and Roberto… who may or may not do any actual work.Ecuadorian intern Pablo… who is frowning because he couldn’t figure out how to change the gas despite living his entire 19 years in this country.Ezechias and Grace were no help changing the gas tank either, but offered their encouragement.Día del Niño at Emaús. The kids ministry leaders dressed up as characters from shows and movies.Marthita’s 19th birthday party during youth group at Emaús.Up on the roof!
