Missionary Retreat 2013

In October 2013 the Liebenzell Mission team in Ecuador had a couple days of fun and fellowship during a missionary retreat.  We spent the first day at the field leader Rainer's house and received teaching from Martin, the Germany mission director of ministries in the Southern Hemisphere.

 
Some of the German volunteers and national workers' children helped to entertain the children during the meetings.

Then for days 2 and 3 of the retreat we went to the hot springs of Chachimbiro.  Jacob and Elias check out the furniture on the balcony.

Joel and Jacob in a quiet moment.  They love each other so.

Amelia enjoying the hot springs which flow down from the nearby volcanic mountain.  Notice the greenish color, due to sulphur content.

The missionaries that sing together stay together!

Another teaching session with Germany missionary director, also named Martin, and Kevin as translator.

Fun in the pool for all!

After arriving back to Ibarra, my boss called me and asked me to translate a leadership meeting by Martin Auch, the Mission Director of Liebenzell Mission International that night.  Although tired from the retreat and nervous about translating, the meeting was a blessing to all, including the translator.
