Despedidas y Saludas (Goodbyes and Hellos)

After a week of goodbyes in Costa Rica--with lots of tears once again on my part--we embarked on the next step of our adventure. Ecuador! We were welcomed by many HCJB missionaries in Quito who helped us do all of the shopping for outfitting our house in Shell--driving us around, feeding us, and helping us out with the kids. We are very grateful.Sydney and Sam with Iveth--their wonderful Sunday school teacher

Then we took an interesting 5-hour bus trip down to Shell with all of our stuff and started moving into our house. I'll save those pics for the next blog! Thanks for your prayers--our move has been relatively uneventful and we are thankfully all healthy.
