So Saturday and Sunday we went to Paute it is a little city outside of Cuenca about 1 hour away. In Paute is a sister church of the big church that we are working with it is a very little church it has only been around for about a year so it is super small still. So we went there just looked around at the little city it is a super quite little town or I thought so on Saturday. We had a church service thing that was suppose to start at 4 but the pastor showed up around 5:40 so he started and it is soooo hard to sit through a service when you are no idea what is going on… It just sounds like someone is yelling at you, but then after he finished we went to this other church where it was a 2 year anniversary. So it in another little town, so we get there about 7ish and we go in and sit down. I am thinking anniversary means like a party nope!!!! Another service I hate not knowing Spanish for this reason not being able to listen to the pastor… cause I am add so not being able to understand is so so so not good for me!!! But we were there and listened to like 3 pastor till like 10 ish and finally we left but not cause it was over but we just need to get home!!! So the next we go back to the same town and me, Bethany, and star work with the children cause it is so much easier to work with kids then try and understand a service. It was fun we talked about the armor of God. The kids really seemed to like it and we taught them father Abraham. But Sundays are crazy busy days in the city it is like the day everyone comes and buys food and stuff so the market is full of people…. Anyways we get home and we celebrate Bethany’s birthday with the family we are staying with. They are awesome they sang forever this birthday song and then they always eat cake before they eat dinner and it is kindda weird. Cause we have cake then we have dinner weird…. But it was really sweet the mom was like betany cause that is how she says it with no H we love you and she had tears and it was so so sweet this family really cares so much about us….. Then they took us to this look out place that you can see the whole city and it was sooo pretty!! But it was a really wonderful day….
