Hello friends and family,

I am glad to announce that my finger has been recovering and I am no longer wearing a popsicle stick (as fashionable as it was). It is nice to use it normally.
I am also glad to say that I am approaching the end of a very successful week of ministry. The team from East Auburn Baptist Church and I have already gone to about 5 really poor families and to deliver bags of food. It has been amazing to see how far a dollar bill can stretch and how it can strengthen someone’s faith.
Our group has also been teaching an English class with about 30 students around the age of twelve (plus a few brave adults). Today they all graduated from the week-long class. We were able to give them a party, certificates and little gifts. They were all so excited to learn and did a great job. However the most exciting part of our class was the today. Pastor Carlos from, “La Iglesia de Dios” or “The Church of God” shared the gospel with the kids and around twenty of them prayed to receive Christ as their Savior. How exciting!
Tomorrow our team will go to “The Church of God” in Puyo to give food to about 11 more families and take part of a service that will be sharing the gospel with them. We will also be visiting a youth service to take part in their special prayer service as we lead a few worship songs.
On Sunday I will be heading back to Quito where I will be for the reminder of my time here in Ecuador. It may be hard to believe but I have not been in one place for more than two weeks since I first arrived in Ecuador- talk about living out of a suitcase! )
Once again I appreciate ALL of the prayers. Thank you! The Lord is my strength and He is faithful to answer the prayers of His children. James 5:15-18

Sincerely,
Breana
