We went to church at Remanso de Amor, for their sunday morning service. Once we arrived there one of the ladies from the church got us together and thanked us for all the work we had done. Later during the service Ramiro, the pastor, presented us with paintings and also thanked and prayed for the work that we were doing in the children and the church. We began with some familiar songs that we sung in Spanish and then in return we sang some worship songs for them in English. A few of us gave our testimonies and Zach gave the message while one of the workers from Youth World, Pablo, translated for us.
After the service ended Ramiro took our team out to lunch, which was delicious. Then we went on another glorious bus ride back to the church and did a mini vbs shin dig. The kid's favorite part was definitely getting prizes for memorizing John 3:16 (which I'm pretty sure most of them already knew...but whateva...they got some cool little toy piggies) Then we went back to Pastor Ramiro's house and had some good old (north) American pizza.
After dinner, Pastor Ramiro gave us these cool ecuador soccer jersey thingy mabobbers that were a tad too small...but an amazing gift nonetheless. We sat around and had some awesome conversations. Alot of laughing was involved for sure. Then we had to bid our farewells. Oh boy was that a sad one. But that was counteracted by the show that the male species of our team contributed to our festivities of the evening. They donned on their brand spanking new soccer attire and performed for Steve's video device. He proceeded to replay the little skit for all of us. It just happened to be an old Saturday night skit in which two males stated this.
"I'm Hanz. and I'm Franz. and we are here to pump you up!"
And the direct result of that was us all laughing until we were crying on the floor until...Steve and Zach returned to do the exact same thing that Ryan and Harrison had performed. At that point, our laughing turned into inaudible hysteria. All in all...we would say it was a delightful day.
Peace and Love. Laurel and Lauren.
