From El Refugio to Quito

Howard joined the programming team along with some of our interns and two guests on a 25 mile hike from El Refugio to Quito. One of the guests is a pastor here in Ecuador and was at Refugio for some needed R&R. He was also to have a period of time where he completely "unplugged". The first two nights he stayed in the cabin and he told Howard he knew God was telling him to slow down and simplify his life. He said he was listening but then came the hike. While on the hike, he felt like God was saying, "No, really I mean it, slow down, simplify and get back to the basics." I wonder how many of us need to heed the same message?
