Counting down the days!

Yahoo!! We're down to 35 days until I leave for Ecuador! I'll be at The Ark Children's Home in Riobamba, as well as visiting my "family" in Guayaquil. Word must be getting around the church in Guayaquil that I'm coming because I've been getting phone calls from people I haven't heard from in awhile asking when I'm arriving and who I'm staying with, etc. I'm SUPER excited, but I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. I've never flown by myself before, and I'm not tooooo excited about riding the bus from Guayaquil to Riobamba by myself. I'm trusting that God will pull all of the loose ends together as I prepare for the trip. There are still a lot of uncertainties that I won't know until I arrive- like housing,etc. Please pray for me!! I can't wait to meet all of the cute kids at the Ark (especially all of those babies!!!) :o)
