Back to Quito

After a week of venturing through the jungle we are now back to home base Quito a.k.a the guys apartment from Youth World. During our time away we traveled to two different jungle towns called Shell and Misahualli (miss-sahwa-yee). So first we jumped on a bus and endured for a long trip which lasted about five hours before arriving at Shell. From there we helped out at an orphanage called Casa de fe by working on a construction site for a new school and also got to play with the kids which included checking for lice. While working there we got to know some of the work crew who were surprisingly our age group that was already fathers to young families. The one guy named Luis was 21 years old and had four kids! After the orphanage we got the chance to work at the Nate Saint house.
Following that Sunday we jumped on the next bus to Misahualli a small town thats about 20 degrees hotter than Quito and full of monkeys. When we got there we checked into a hostile and went tubing down the river where we got to see an amazing waterfall. while we stayed there we worked on a jungle house that two missionaries planned to live in with their family as well as six other kids that lived in the jungle possibly even more kids could live with them. When our work in the morning was finished we made our way to a school where about twenty kids showed u p and we did a vbs (vacation bible school) for them. This morning we traveled on the river to the village of Pasuno where we hung out with kids who seemed to be very shy so they didn't talk much. Then we had to rush back for lunch at the hostile and from there the bus station for our five hour journey back to Quito where we will be staying for the evening.
We'll keep you posted.
