After touch down in Quito's new airport our friend, Remiro, took us to rest at the guest house. We talked the entire hour-long ride -- in Spanish!! This was so much fun after trying to communicate with him for 3 years with almost no language skills. Three days in Quito were filled with government offices, shopping and logistic organizing for our transition to the small town of Shell.
On our way to Shell (a 4 hour drive from Quito) we took 3 days in a tourist town named Banos, to rest, reflect and pray as a family. We did some swimming in the local hot springs and swung from a tree house overlooking the beauty that surrounds the area. Although we didn't sleep well (our minds are just to busy these days to shut down), we did down-shift a bit and felt ready to transition to Shell on day 3.
For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? - the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. Psalm 18:31-32
