Greetings from Ambato, Ecuador! More specifically, we’re in the shadows of Tungurahua, the volcano that erupted nearby just weeks ago. Today, the volcano still has smoke pouring from its mouth, and you can imagine the power and anger when it explodes.
Our little soccer team got a jumpstart today when we discovered a small concrete “field” in the middle of the city. We recruited enough people to divide into three separate teams, and many people lined the sidewalks around the playing surface. You wouldn’t believe how they cheer and yell and how well these tiny children handle the ball from ages six, seven, and eight-years-old. Future World Cup stars!
Tomorrow, we will set out for a new adventure in a new rural area to recruit more soccer players and then share our testimonies and stories with them. Many of the kids who played soccer today ended up attending our evening church service! We are trying to build relationships and share how Jesus has changed our lives!
What a privilege to be here on Father’s Day! It was great to see and hear all our translators calling their “papas” to send their love. We saw many large families gathered today to celebrate Father’s Day, even in Ecuador!
Thanks for all of your support and interest! Can’t wait to share our pictures when we return!
Wooooo! Amy
