It has definitely been an awesome first couple of days! Bre Martin is with us now!! She will also be with us for the remainder of the trip :)

Yesterday we went to visit a poor family from the church that we are working with here in Ibarra. Its amazing how much food 30 dollars buys here in Ecuador!!! We were able to get apples, oranges, chicken, green peppers, corn, lemons, cheese, rice, sugar, salt, two types of pasta, lentils, oil, toilet paper, detergent, soda (because that is a treat here!)....I might have even forgot some of the items...Cause there was so many! What an awesome experience to see a family so appreciative for just the basic items that we Americans overlook so many times (and I'm mostly talking about myself!!)...What a humbling experience...
We also had our first music class yesterday with the members of the worship team from the church we are working with. That went really well! This was a challenge for me learning the Spanish words for the songs that we are teaching the worship team...but I finally know them all...and it is so helpful to have Breanna here! She knows much more Spanish than I do and that is helpful!! While Bre and I worked with the singers, Efra helped the musicians get their parts down.
Today we are going to a very needy family...they are not only struggling with providing food for their family of 7 but the parents are also on the verge of divorce. So please be praying that God would help us to bring hope to this family...and a fresh start.
