Dr Carlos and Karen Feijoo and Stephanie picked us up at the airport in Quito around 7:20 pm. They took us by bus back to the Alliance Guest House, where we are staying for the night before we leave for Carabuela. Pastor Paul shmoozed at the airport to get the Soderstroms bulkhead seats, their legs don't fit in the normal row! All the supplies from church( 190 pounds of supplies collected at church and VBS!)...and our luggage made it down safely.
Believe it or not, we were actually fed dinner on the flight from Miami! Gas here is $1.90 a gallon here and a bottle of water at the Miami airport was $3.25(go figure!). Brian Soderstroms feet hang off the end of the bed here. We actually have the same bus driver as the last time, he's awesome. Josh and Joey Swenson also met us at the airport, they are now working down here as missionaries.
We're all excited for tomorrow and will sleep well in our nice accommodations.

BTW: In showers here, the "C" on the knob does NOT stand for cold..it took me a while to figure that out. (it stands for caliente, or hot in spanish)

HI there friends and fam!
The blog looks great and I was able to give out the address for some to check out at church on Sunday. I did have a question asked of me--are you able to change the Stephen "Tumbergen" to Tubergen? His mom emailed and asked if that could be done, but I don't have the password to do it. Thanks much! I look forward to more updates soon! We're praying for you all!
We are so proud of all of you! Especially that you got this blog up and running!!! We are looking forward to tracking your progress. Our prayers are with you and those you are serving!

God Bless,

First time doing this blog thing so forgive me if I say or do anything crazy!!!
Ryan, my most precious, most wonderful, most missed child...Please stay warm and take your cold medicine if you need it. I hope I packed enough warm things for you. You know how I worry about silly things. Don't forget to take your probiotics every other day and don't forget to take your Malaria pill on a full tummy on Wednesday. We love you and hope you are using the gifts that God has blessed you with.
Teddy, please eat and take care of yourself. Ryan has warm clothes if you need to go there. You are probably working very hard all day so make sure you eat a good breakfast lunch and dinner. The babies send hugs and kisses and are saying prayers for you tonight.
Stephen, it's your other mother here. Take it easy my child. I know how you can get with all these great adventures in store for you. Don't push yourself too hard and smell a flower or two. Tessie has been on her pretend phone calling you up and wondering why you aren't with her. These babies miss you a great deal. They will say a big prayer for you, Ryan and Teddy tonight.
Ok was this a blog or a letter? What is the definition of BLOG?
I love you all and you are all thought of everyday.
Mom O'D
