I made it!

Thank you everyone for your prayers.  I made it safely to Cuenca.  Lord willing, this is where I'll be living for the next year.

 

I left MSP airport at 6:30am on the 8th along with Blanca.  She is pastor Santiago's wife and had been in the US for a short visit.  We had  7 hr layover in Miami, and then arrived in Guayaquil at about 10:00pm.  After spending the night at a mission guest house, we drove over the mountains and arrived in Cuenca just after 2:00pm.

 

Now I've spent the last day settling in to the routine.  Tomorrow morning I plan to meet with pastor Santiago to begin planning and scheduling my activities with the homeschool families.
