Day 2: Are we there yet? 😃

We had a great breakfast with our hosts at Casablanca.  As we made our way from Quito to Hauticocha, a four hour trek through the mountains into the jungle, we encountered a bump in the road.  A quarter of a mile ahead, the road closed due to mud & debris slides. We waited on the bus, in a line of stopped vehicles, and passed the time eating our packed lunches, getting to know those who recently joined our team, & playing a card game called Pitch in which the rules continuously evolved. We have been waiting about four hours. We are all safe, healthy, & singing worship songs to pass the time until we can pass through.  We know God will get us to our final destination. As our team members have learned in our own lives, the journey may not go as we had planned or expected, but God is good and His way turns out to be better than we would have ever expected.
