UM VIM Out-of-Country Mission
Quito, Ecuador
November 9-16, 2006

Thank you

This mission trip was pretty much a first for our church; we as a church have participated in foreign missions with a variety of other organizations:  Christian Hands in Action, better known as CHIA, Church World Service, and Living Water International to name a few.  We have church members who have family who work overseas with various Christian organizations, a true blessing.

But this time, we, the First United Methodist Church of Los Alamos, through the power of the Holy Spirit, led our own team to a foreign land.  What a blessing for our church, what a blessing for the individuals who participated in the field, their lives have been changed forever.  When a foreign country becomes personal, when it is no longer a blurb on CNN, when you have a personal relationship with those to whom you have served, it all becomes family.  The world is so large, but oh so small. 

In takes less than 6 hours by air to get to Quito, once there, we checked into the Nazarene Seminary and Friday morning we reported to Hogar Betania.  We spent four and half days sharing the love of Christ through acts of work, spending quality time with the residents of Hogar Betania, and sharing ourselves with the staff.

Each of you are a blessing, you each have contributed in some small part of this mission, I and all of the team members of this mission want to say thank you.

Quito Team Members: David Ring, Jim Little, Aaron Goldman, John Stong, Jan Stong, Mel Lora, Faye Lora, Sue Maier, Susan Nava, and Dennis Trumblee
