June 24, 2009: Quito

We have worked hard. The people of Reconciliation have worked hard. We have framed two walls in upstairs. The door jamb in the back room is in. Another painful load of bricks has been delivered as well. Bishop Ramos even helped us load them in. The wall in the courtyard is taking shape. The Episcopal shield is all but done in the entry. The floor is being leveled in the back room. Today we were present for the feeding of Colombian refugees with the Bishop. We broke bread with them. It was a good day. We are exhausted and we miss our families, but we know they understand.

Peace, Brian
