Well we are sitting here in the Quito airport waiting for our flight to Miami. What an experience we have all had. We are tired and weary but so thankful for the opportunity we have all had to be here in Ecuador. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey with us. I think it will take us some time to process everything that we have seen, felt and experienced but it will be time well spent.
Yesterday we had an awesome day of relaxation at the Papallacta Hot Springs. It was a much needed rest after an extremely packed schedule. These springs are fed directly from a nearby volcano and they did wonders to relax our muscles and ease the tension. Saying goodbye to the kids and workers was difficult but I am glad we are on our way home.
It's a short one today because I am really tired and we are going to be boarding soon. Pray for our return flights. I have NEVER travelled home from Ecuador without a problem. The first time we were delayed 16 hours in the airport and the second time we we held over night but thankfully in a hotel. Our transfer time in Miami is extremely tight and I am a little concerned but God is in control and will see us through.
Oh...I forgot to mention one last thing that we did last night. Everyone, except the bald youth pastor (even Alicia...ha ha), got lice from the kids at the home. Most of yesterday was spent shampooing and picking and combing. I am glad, for once, that I was NOT part of the group. I think we got all of the little critters out.
Blessings everyone!

ReplyDeleteOh fun! I had hoped Alicia's new hairstyle would prevent that- oh well- at least it shows they were giving lots of love and hugs to the kids!!
