I rose early

I was up early as usual and after spending time with the Lord took a last walk to downtown Cayambe. I walked through the market as the shops began to open and the place started to come alive. Men and women were carrying large bags of produce to their stands and setting things out for the day ahead. As I walked the rain began to fall again. This rain has been bad all over the country with all kinds of flooding and people being evacuated especially along the coast. We plan to head that direction on Saturday.
After breakfast we headed for Quito. We had some time so we went on a bit of a tour of the old city. We visited a large statue of Mary overlooking the city from a high mount in the center of the city and went through a couple large cathedrals (one relatively new but it looked old, and one old). The feel reminded me of Europe. We walked past the Presidential palace in the core of the city and as we did a very hot sun came out for a few minutes. This was the most blue sky we had seen but it didn’t last long and on our way to the Guest house it poured harder then we had seen so far.
During the evening we visited with three of the missionaries here and heard a bit of their stories while enjoying a pizza dinner.
The Lord is at work here but like the scriptures say the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. D
