Starting off at 4:30am Saturday we began with the organization of 82 pieces of luggage and at least 40+ carry-ons. One would think that this would be an incredibly daunting task, but we had some incredible organizers on the job. Hopping on a bus at 5am we headed toward the great city of Chicago to catch our first Copa Air flight to Panama. Arriving in Panama we had a brief one hour layover before boarding our second and final flight to Quito, Ecuador. With safe and speedy arrival we then had to unload all of the luggage and wait for the bus to come and take us to the Hostal. We did have three first time flyers and many that hadn't ever left the country. This was very exciting for all especially the first time flyers. When we arrived in the city Pastor Fabian along with his wife, family and friends cooked us a homemade Ecuadorian meal, yes it was amazing and everyone had there fill and there were still left overs!
It has been such a HUGE blessing seeing God working in so many of the details already. From people to luggage and supplies to even flights and transportation, we serve such a big God that cares about His people and their needs. The team is very excited to LOVE and SERVE this week. The team has adjusted well already and is very excited about celebrating Easter with the people of Carmen Bajo. In all everything has went very smoothly and we thankfully give all of the credit to The Lord Himself!
