Hello everyone!
We arrived safely at 9:40 PM last night into the Quito airport. We waited in a long line to get through immigration, and waited a while to get our four large checked bags at baggage claim, but we finally got them!
We were met by Daniela's father, brother, and grandfather, and we piled (literally) everything, including ourselves, into the car and went back to Daniela's father's house which is about five minutes from the airport.
We unloaded all the bags at the house, and we all went out to an Italian restaurant with one of Daniela's friends, David. My first meal in Ecuador was... : CHURRASCO! (Meat, fried eggs, rice, french fries, lettuce, & tomato)
We were pretty tired once we got back from the restaurant, and we went to bed.
Today, we will be relaxing and catching up with some more friends and family of Daniela's. Tomorrow we will be going to Daniela's father's church in Quito.
We will continue to update you as we start with El Refugio next week. Please continue to pray for safety and protection while we are down here, and for God's wisdom and discernment in our ministry to the interns at El Refugio, and to the other staff we will be interacting with at the retreat center.
God bless you all! And thank you all again for your prayers and support!
