Si Señor

Johanna and Debby are writing this blog and it is now very late at night! Please forgive us for writing such a short blog but we feel that we need to get to bed quickly as there is another full day planned for us tomorrow. We have been “roomies” during this Quito Mission trip and have developed a wonderful friendship which we both treasure immensely.

We feel like we need to digress back to Sunday when our team went to church at Dios es Fiel (God is Faithful). It was an amazing service for all of us on the team. Because she is from Colombia, Johanna understood every single word and song during this 2 hour service. “Si Señor” were about the only words that Debby recognized during the church service; this phrase was repeated a number of times. In English that phrase is translated as “yes sir” but Johanna explained that in the Latin culture it is understood as Yes Lord! That was quite profound for me (Debby) as those two words are so powerful in Spanish and as believers in Jesus it should be our response to God. So Si Señor!

All of us continue to work on our two projects at the school in the mornings with much enthusiasm. The teacher’s lounge had major progress today; we finished painting the walls and the results were very exciting. Not only was it satisfying to see the results but the four women in that room enjoyed a sweet fellowship and a time of getting to know each other better. The change in the patio was dramatic also. At the beginning of the week, it was a little overwhelming to see the amount of landscaping that needed to be accomplished in just four days but with so many eager hands it tends to help make the work easy. It is such a privilege and joy to do this for the school and for the Lord. SO Si Señor!






Everyday during Vacation Bible School the Lord continues to touch our hearts through the children. We don’t see just the physical necessities of the children but we also see the spiritual hunger. Today the story was about how Jesus is the only way to have a relationship with God. John 3:16 was the verse used for the story lesson. There were several responses from the children that our team shared tonight with one another. A sweet little girl named Genesis told Cindy that today she understood the meaning of having Jesus in her heart. Another little girl named Ashley requested a Spanish Bible. During our Team Time tonight the ladies prayed for individual children by name and for different situations and responses that occurred during the VBS time. It was very apparent to us that God is at work in these precious little lives. Si Señor! Si Señor!

















We are wondering if any of our family members are keeping track of this blog. If so, we would love for you to write a post and let us hear from you!
To end this blog our whole team wants to tell Debbie Guinn’s daughter, Rachel to have a great big Happy Birthday (Feliz Cumpleaños)today. Si Señor!

We serve a great and mighty God! It's the same God that is Fort Worth and is in Quito!
Praise God! Buenos Noches! And Si Señor!
