I've been contemplating all week long how to best convey my experiences in Ecuador, but have yet to devise a way that justly suffices. So, over the next few days, I plan to recap the highlights of each day, providing some photos that will hopefully enhance your ability to taste of at least a bit of what I did. It was a great week that evidenced God's presence and power from beginning to end. In my own prayer for patience and gentleness, God answered by providing delays on both ends of our flights, yesterday's resulting in the purchase of another ticket, another night in Ft. Lauderdale, and arriving home today rather than Saturday evening. But even in that, I felt the joy and peace of His presence, not getting anxious as I usually do about delays and unknowns. And also, we got one more night with our leader's atheist parents and another couple who was interested in hearing about the work we did. As much as I trusted God to get us home on time, I had even greater confidence in His timing, and the greatest avenue for His glory. Those attitudes are a work of the Spirit, I know!
