Ecuador Bound

Dear Ecuador and OSSO, please take good care of this girl!  She is so excited and has so much love to give to those children, and everyone else she will meet.  Her shining light will be missed from our home, but we know she will gain so much from her service.  She will love it so much.  We will be excited to hear updates and news!  Aloha Nui Loa, sweet daughter.  Three months and counting!

Here she is after arriving at the airport.  It was an early morning!

We were a little bit early, so we just hung around and waited for the other girls to show up in their OSSO sweatshirts.

It finally felt real, and she was super excited!

First time out of the country!  First passport stamp!

We were so excited to meet the other girls!  There was one more, but she was a little bit late and met them at the gate.  The girl on the left will be going to Cuenca with Kori, going on the same Amazon trip, and flying home the same day.  Such darling girls!  I'm sure they will be fast friends!

Their plane was diverted to Tennessee after the Atlanta airport was closed due to storms.  It was touch and go if they were going to make it today.  Luckily, they were able to get to Atlanta and barely make their Ecuador flight.  We are so excited to hear updates and news.  It will be such a fun 3 months! We're so proud of Kori for having the desire to do humanitarian work.  It is just so perfect for her, and we're grateful for this opportunity!

Aloha Nui Loa!  Until we meet again!
