Mother's Day Service

For Mother's Day we attended one of our favorite churches in Quito, Comite del Pueblo, which translates as Committee of the People.  This town is called that because it is an invasion community.  Thousands of people organized and "took over" this part of Quito almost overnight.  Much like squatters, each family took over a plot of land and settled there.  Now this "suburb" of Quito has one of the largest populations in a very small area.  The church is full of loving Nazarenes who know how to worship.  We always enjoy going there.

Today, several different groups performed either  a song or dance in honor of Mother's Day.  The adults danced an indigenous dance dressed as Otavalons (see photo 1).  A group of children performed a rap dance (see photo 2).  It was a great service.
