An update from Sam and Russell:
Hello everyone! We did a lot on Saturday. In the morning we went to Otavalo, a town thirty minutes north of Cayambe, to shop. We went to a huge market where the Otavalo Indians sold all kinds of handmade stuff. It was an extremely cultural place with all kinds of jewelry, cloths, hats, knives, ect... We bartered the price down because they started extremely high. It was a new experience for some of us and we enjoyed it a lot. After we spent all the money we brought we went to a fancy restaurant on a glacier lake. The food was terrific but the view was even better! After that we headed back to the cabins and rested before heading to the church for youth group. We played flag football in the park(finally a game us Americans were sure we could win). Then we made picture frames for a group picture we took earlier. Everyone signed each others frames which made us all feel famous. Then we had a huge bonfire! Then Russell and Salvador shared their testimonies. They both talked about how God has a plan that's better than ours. It was pretty emotional for everyone. Then we sang praise songs and talked and ate hotdogs. We went to bed that night to an extremely loud concert across the street.
Photos soon to come!
