Saturday was mostly a travel day. We're staying in a hotel in downtown Quito. The elevation is 9,252 feet and I'm definitely feeling the effects - a little shortness of breath even when I'm just sitting around. It will probably take a day or two to adjust. There's no A/C here because they don't really need it. The forecast for today is a high of 70 and a low of 48, and the forecast is virtually the same all year. The sun always comes up at around 6:30 AM and sets at about 6:30 PM. Welcome to life on the equator!
On Sunday our group will be attending a church, visiting the equator, and going to observe some of what SIFAT has already done in the area. I am already very impressed with this organization. This is the most organized mission trip I've ever been on! Of course, I'm probably impressed by anyone that gives me good food!
Speaking of food, they keep saying that they're going to get me to try guinea pig before the end of the week. I've seen a lot of guinea pigs in my life, and never once did it make me hungry. So we'll see...
The real work starts on Monday, but we're hoping to get out on our own today and do some servant evangelism at the market. I'm missing everyone at Friendship since it's Sunday and I wish that I could be there with you to hear Michael Kelley. Thanks for all of your prayers!!
