After a long ride from Quito we made it to Guaranda!. We got to meet Ana and have lunch at La Estancia, it was delicious. After a couple minutes and after our first seminar we can see all the energy that our students bring. We also got to meet Don Santiago who took us to La Guitarra to learn more about Carnaval and just like that the day flew by, but we are so excited because we know it’s just the beginning of this new journey.
All our Glimpsers are making new friends and getting to know each other. The beautiful city of Guaranda welcomed us with music in the streets. We are already creating great memories of this incredible place.

I’m having a ball reading each update and I’m so grateful to God that He allowed you such an amazing experience. I’m also glad you got an opportunity to use your gift of singing to bless the people. Seeing you smiling, loving, bonding, serving and teaching makes me SO proud. And girl…I just have to say….what a CUTE outfit to teach in!! I’m sure you rocked it!!? All in all, way to go Carson, you and the rest of the team are true SUPERSTARS!!
