An update from Trebol:
Hola. This is Trevor or as the Ecuadorians call me Trebol... In case you were wondering this means clover in Spanish and this is what some of them thought my name was when I introduced myself on Saturday. So now that we got that little background information out of the way, we will skip straight for the update.
Yesterday was Wednesday or as the Ecuadorians would call it miercoles. And for you Americans: hump day. It was another very productive and fun day as we woke up to grilled cheese for breakfast. After our breakfast we headed to la iglesia (the church) to continue our work. We started a new project attempting to build a big concrete step outside the kitchen. We also painted a white trim around the windows and doors and the mural continued to progress. Gissela, the girl in the top picture will never take a break painting. We joked with her that we we were surprised she didn't sleep at the church....
After our work at the church we went back to the hotel and we all got to experience Ecuadorian ice cream. I personally got to try a banana split, Cayambe style. It was magnificent to say the least.
After that treat we headed back to the church for another day at English club. We played soccer and got beat pretty handily: 6 to 3. Then we went back and made friendship bracelets with all the Ecuadorians. Andrew Menke shared a devotional after the English club. He talked about trials and went through Hebrews 12. It was very good and I think it spoke volumes to the youth.
After eating dinner at the Meyers we headed back to the hotel to get a good night's rest for day seven in Ecuador. So yup that sums up hump day. Adios! Over and out.
