We have made it safely to Quito, Ecuador. This country is absolutely magnificent. Everything is so green, and the mountains are enormous. It is so beautiful! You can tell that there aremany people that are very poor. There are a few nicer areas that I have seen. There are houses really high up that just seem to follow the rolling hills all the way up to the mountains.

I got here at about 11:00 last night. This morning, we got up, ate breakfast and went strait out to minister. My team and I(team 1) went out to the plaza. We first learned a few phrases to invite people to the drama. After about twenty minutes or so we had rounded up a pretty large group of people. We performed the drama twice. I am a mime, by the way. Which means that I have to stand still without moving for almost the entire performance.

In between and after the drama, we helped to bring several people to Christ. I would say that with our entire group together, about 20 people were saved. I was in on 6 of them. I personally talked(with a translator of course!) with two of the six. With the other four, I was with a couple of other people.

Three people were healed today... for my group at least. One man who was blind in one eye, said that while they were praying for him it felt as though a hand was place right on his eye. The doctore had told him that he could never be healed. However, several people said that prayer was the only thing that could save him. He told us that when he got home he was going to take off his eye patch, because he knew that he was going to be able to see again.

Another man had a leg that was hurting. After a small group from my team had prayed for him, he said that the pain was totally gone. The same thing happened for a man who said that he was having stomach pain.

So far, today was really great. Now I am ready to go to our evening worship service, FUAGNEM(fired up and going nuts every minute) and be filled back up. I am sure everybody is ready to tell stories from the day. Think how many things have happened just with my team... there are eight teams and about 400 people!

I am not sure how often I will be posting on here... it costs four dollars to be on the computer for half an hour.

Please keep praying for everything!!
