We are here!!

Welcome to Ecuador! Our group arrived safely last night, with the most effortless international travel that most of us have ever seen. We were blessed to not have any plane delays, and the flights were smooth and fast. We found Mitchell right away in Miami (he met us there, since his family recently moved to California). 

We were warmly greeted by Jhonny, an employee from Tangara hostel, at the airport. He led us to a huge coach-style bus-- which we piled onto for the ten-minute ride. Then, to our surprise, out comes Germania (Sister Annie's right-hand woman), Manuel (Damien House driver) and Abel (a Nuevo Mundo student). It was great to have such a big welcome party!

At Tangara, Anny, Antonio and Lucia greeted us enthusiastically. After settling into the rooms, we went up onto the roof for our first nightly reflection. Group consensus is that it still hasn't hit us that we are finally here, but now being here gets us very excited!! We shared for a little bit and then headed to bed.

Thanks again for all your prayers; you are in our prayers, too!
