Joining Up With The Team

I am currently in flight to Miami where I will catch another flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador.  I will make my way up the Andes Mountains to the city of Alausi, Ecuador.  This is the "Base Camp" for  Team Ecuador 2014 from St. John's Lutheran Church of Bloomington, IL.  They are currently staying at Hotel Gampala in Alausi.  The team is made up of 18 individuals from all over central and northern Illinois as well as a woman from Missouri.  This adventurous team has been building churches, schools, and providing fresh water to the Quichua by digging wells in the remote areas of Ecuador for eight years now.  You can follow their progress at TeamEcuador.us and also read about past projects.

I'll post pictures as I can.  For now, I'm going to try to sleep.
