Tearing Down and Building Walls

What a blessing it was to have the Aurora, CO Work and Witness team in Quito to help in the remodeling of the seminary kitchen.  They were a big help in tearing all cabinets and counters out and also putting up some walls to start the new kitchen. It was a small team of 6 but along with the students from the seminary that helped it was a just the right amount of people for the project.  Since the kitchen was under construction the team enjoyed meals with the seminary students and staff prepared by the seminary convention center services, CENIC. Pastor Martin, the pastor of the team was invited to speak at chapel one morning. The team also attended church services in which one was a mission service held in a portable chapel.  One of the volunteers that participated with the team helped with the construction of the chapel. Three Mission Corps from Oregon were a part of the team also. This team was small but they were a great help furthering the remodeling.  
The three Mission Corps from Oregon were Keith and Nancy Spicer and Ron Boeve.  Keith and Ron worked in the Work and Witness shop fixing and repairing tools and also worked on making a log splitter.  Most of the parts for the log splitter were brought in Ron's carry on and it is a good thing the airlines didn't weigh his carry on!  Nancy did some paintings of flowers for gifts for us to give when needed and kept the dogs, Jack and Nakita company.  Keith came down last year and spent some time with a team while he was waiting for his motorbike to arrive from Oregon so he could take a month like trip across South America.  We are so grateful for our short term and long term missionaries.
