HI EVERYBODY! Joanne says hi....we all arrived safely, made all our connections, and are now at Casa Blanca enjoying a cloudless morning! Thank you for all your prayers for our travels, we really had an uneventful day and only were delayed a hour in coming into Quito. Gustavo, along with the two interns, Abby and Annie, welcomed us to Ecuador and briefed us on our "contract" for the week....which included: choose joy, be here and now, give a %110, challenge by choice, and love covers all. We were all challenged to encourage one another in these aspects and keep one another accountable throughout the week. Today we will be participating in construction around the house and getting used to the altitude... Stay tuned for day 2's events!
