Three weeks down...

So my time is coming to an end here in Ecuador....at least I hope, I'm still waiting to hear from the embassy, but they told me that I won't have to change my ticket and that everything will be ready to go before I leave, which is on Sunday, but I am still praying and keeping my fingers crossed. It won't be the end of the world if I have to stay a little longer cause I have made friends with cool people and we have a lot of fun. This week we have had some adventures. As a school trip we went to this town that specializes in Guinnea pig and we ate some, thats right, I ate Guinnea pig...at first I didn't mind it, it was quite salty, but after a few bites I started to gag and dry heave, which to those of you know me well is not a shock, and that was the end of the guinnea pig for me. Then on Saturday me and Amber (a girl from the States), went back to Mindo because I really wanted to go rapelling down a water fall, and we did and it was sooo much fun, we took this crazy hike to get to the waterfall and then we went down...it was awesome. Then Saturday night four other girls joined us and we went ziplinning again. It was much more fun with six of us then when I went with my lonesome. So if all goes according to plan this is my last week here and writing you from Ecuador, hopefully my next post will be from Colombia...so here is some pictures of our last week adventures....

Keepin it real in Quito

Yo Yo Yo So I have arrived and I made it safe, other then my luggages coming the next day. I was delayed in Edmonton and Toronto so when I got to Colombia they rushed me and a few other passengers to the flight for Quito. I am staying with a family, in my house there is Mami, who is the grandma, Mampi, her daughter and Joanna the niece, she is about 17 years old. There is also another student from London named Bhavin and a Japenese girl just came yesterday...she is super cool. So if I am to be honest the first week was quiet hard. Language school was quiet overwhelming and I hadnt met anyone yet so I was feeling quiet lonely and missing all of you guys. I let the tears slip a couple times but that is just part if the experience. My teacher tells me that the first week is always the hardest and that in a month I will be speaking Spanish....that brings me some comfort. On a happier note I have been hanging around Quito and that has been cool. Climed up to the top of the Basillica

Fruit

*(names have been changes for privacy reasons)* Back into the swing of things again and I am super pumped for this year.   Remember the time that I was sharing how I felt that there was no visible fruit last year and how that was really discouraging to me, well a couple weeks ago God blessed me with being able to see some of His fruit from last year, some fruit after a year of tears and prayers.   As some of you also know that for birthdays I take the teen girls out for ice cream.   This is a good one on one time and just a time for them to get out and do something special.   First up every year is Maria.   Last year when I took her for ice cream, conversation was a little strained, a lot of her answers to my questions were just one word and lets be honest, there were a lot of awkward moments.   As this year rolled around first up again was my beloved Maria and we had an awesome time.   We laughed, we talked and she was really honest with my questions and was really honest a

Boys Camp… Just a little late

Image
When it’s been so long between blogs I always struggle with what to say, or what to share.   Sometimes it feels like so much has happened that I don’t even know where to start and sometime if feels like nothing has happened at all… I guess I will start with the boys camp that we had in November, which was forever ago I know, but I obviously procrastinated and haven’t shared how it went and when I was in Canada over Christmas a lot of you asked me about it. Well it was an adventure.   We only had about 12 boys, which  was a nice small group.   I was really tired and worn out by the time November rolled around, so it was perfect and a more relaxed camp, well for the most part…. I went ahead with three other staff, well that was the plan anyways, but the car we were in kept over heating and we kept having to pull over and wait on the side of the road for it to cool down.   So we got there a few hours after everyone else arrived.   I was so thankful for great staff t
