Hello from Ecuador to all you chaps and chappesses.
Thanks for your prayers that you have lifted to God on our behalf and for the support that you have given us. Our first day dawned bright and early for us, but we made it with time to spare thanks to the drivers. Actually we had about two hours in which we hung out and had some intense games of Uno. The flight to Miami was delayed around an hour and a half, which wasn’t a huge problem. The weather was fantastic, even though there was mild turbulence. The team members had a grand ole time on the way down, and some of us made new friends *cough cough Kelli and Lucy*. Once we arrived at the Miami airport, we hustled to the gate to get there right in time for boarding. The flight from Miami to Quito was long, but we enjoyed it. Unfortunately we were spread out all over the plane, but some of us finagled our way into a group of seats. The others chit-chatted with their neighbors. The view of Quito as the plane descended was beautiful, and God’s handiwork was evident in the mountains. When we disembarked from our voyage and stepped foot on Ecuador soil, probably everyone was leaping inside with exuberant joy. We were met by a MTW missionary, named Mike, and his wife. They drove us to a hostel where we unloaded the luggage. After we had all of it inside, the MTW missionaries gave us a quick briefing as to what we would do these two weeks. Then we munched a little bit on some snack foods. This was followed by a jam session in which we rocked to guitars, djembes, bongos, harmonica, shaker, and voices. All in all, we had a sweet day.
Buenos noches.
