humility...{humilidad}

Humility is my word of the day.

Today we did team building activities and a high ropes course at a camp called El Refugio [The Refuge] in Quito. I had to explain to the team that I have some back problems so there were some activities I couldn't do. I really don't like having to do that, but I had to let go of my pride and be honest about my weaknesses. The team was super encouraging throughout the whole day. I felt really accomplished because I completed a high ropes activity that I couldn't on a trip to Colorado when I was 14, but there was another one that I lost my balance and needed a couple of the ropes course crews help me up. The whole experience was super humbling, but I knew God was giving me peace through it all and encouragement through the crew and my team.

Tonight we had dinner with different missionaries and pastors connected to Inca Link. It was great meeting them and hearing some of their stories.

Today was a good day, but I'm exhausted. I'm thankful that tomorrow we have a day of rest before we start the "Amazing Race" around Ecuador on Tuesday. (which I am super pumped for btw!!!)

Thanks for keeping up with my blog and for your prayers.

Dios les bendiga! God bless you all!
