Ready, Set, Quito!

Hello friends!

We're here in Quito, and life is crazy!  Crazy good though, no worries.  We've had some full days of orientation, and three more to come.  I don't have too many pictures yet because we're not supposed to take our cameras onto the streets too much (trying to keep a low American profile...we stand out a lot already...so we're not supposed to flaunt our electronics :).  I'll post some soon though...the next few days should have some great photo taking opportunities. 

I'll write a more full summary of orientation soon, but let me just say that so far this place is beautiful.  The city is beautiful, the people of Ecuador are beautiful, and the people on my team are beautiful.  I miss you guys at home, that's for sure, but I feel really good about being here.  God has been confirming in my heart that this is where He wants for me this semester, and I can't wait to see what it is He has to teach me this semester.  As Abby said this afternoon, "Every day is going to be an adventure, and we're going to learn something every day."  I sure hope so!

Here's my address, for those of you that are wondering.  It's different than past Ecuador semester addresses.  **Important note: we can only receive things that are less than 2 pounds, and if anything is bigger than a normal letter, it needs to be mailed in a manila-type envelope.  Otherwise I have to pay a lot of money to pick it up :)

Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support. You guys are the best...I feel so loved :)

Have a great weekend!
Pictures to come soon!!
