Day 2 in Ecuador went great. I started off my morning early, kudos to the roosters by my window, but luckily I am an early riser. After breakfast, we hopped on the bus to begin our first full day in this beautiful country! Our first destination was Youth World, or Mundo Juvenil. We learned about the many wonderful ministries that are around Ecuador. Something interesting that I took out of this was that 95% of trained youth ministers live in the United States. That leaves only 5% of trained youth ministers all around the world. This makes it hard for youth who want to help build a relationship with God, but do not have the good resources to do so. Which makes it so wonderful to see tons of people come together and want to help bring people closer to Him and change the percentages.
We got to oversee some parts of a service going on in the church. We happened to exit the church at the same time as the service ended, there was dancing, music, and many people crowded outside of the church. Some of us even got to join in on the dances! Then, we walked further into Old Town and saw the Presidents Palace, and Iglesia de San Francisco, another gorgeous church.
Overall, today was an amazing day. I have seen God in many places around Quito, and I can not wait to continue seeing and learning more about God!
