Hey All,
I made it trough orientation without injury and only with the minor embarassment of having to ask where I could send something express post because I accidentally brought my dads car keys with me..oops. Anyways orientation was really nice, I feel very...oriented. Tomorrow we start on our ministry sites and I was lucky to receive a spot on the social work site for child sponsorship. Although I'm not a hundred percent sure of what I'll be doing, i was told I'll be spending time in the school Magdalena and in el gorrion. I'll most likely be looking after childen in the sponsorship program...helping out wherever I can. So I'm excited to see what each day will bring. It's amazing how when you step out of your comfort zone god challenges you in ways you wouldn't expect, here I think I'm doing pretty good, travelling alone to another country, embracing the culture...totally outside my comfort zone, bur this morning we were partnered up And asked to wash eAchothers feet and If you know me you would know that touching things that are unclean with my hands is something I happen to find unpleasant, to say the least...but oddly it was a beautiful experience, it was very powerfull to do that for somebody as Jesus did for his disciples in John 13. We shared our prayer requests to eachothers and served eachothers in a way that was unsettling, that stirred me to tears
The people here are wonderful, I am blessed. It's funny how I came here to serve, but this place certainly does more for me than I could ever give it.

I'm really glad you're doing well. I miss you, and I almost peed when I read the part about leaving with your dad's keys.
