We are spending our last night at casa blanca. Tomorrow we have a church service and then off to the airport.

Special time in Otavalo.

Sorry for another picture of me but this is the couple who hosted us in the mountains. They are special because they came to Christ through a single missionary called Evelyn Ritchner. This missionary my family often visited. She faced persecution and loneliness yet continued in this mountain village. Today I met the fruits of her labor. It was special.

Otovalo

We will be spending most of the day here. We will shop in the market and enjoy the beauty of Ecuador. Tonight we will travel back to Quito.

After a long bus ride we made it to Otovalo.
