Hey!!! or Hola!!! wow its been one crazy week... i´m homesick but getting better.. no worries.
So we arrived at about eleven o clock on thursday met the girls and got our rooms. We talked for a while then went to bed. The next morning we got up ate breakfast and had orientation.. which just covered everything and was boring. After a while we went and toured Ecuador.. people are the craziest drivers here!!!!!!! but its awesome... and you can see the mountains its gorgeous. We are in the richer part of town which is weird cuz it doesnt seem like it. Anyway... wow we went shopping at the market thing.. and i went nuts for all the jewelry and homemade things and you get great bargains!!! AFter shopping for a while we went to a hamburger and hot dog place which was different but pretty good. The next morning we went to see the orphanage and take a tour.. as i was walking a little girl came up and just hugged me! it was adorable she latched on to me for a while. So we saw all the kids and they are adorable... i want to squeeze them.. after that was our first shift.. which was at SL... its an apt complex with about five different "families" that have a mom. We go there to give eaach family an activity for about a half hour and give the "moms" a break.. so we walk in the first family and the kids are all around us hugging us and talking to us... oh it was precious. So we did an activity with them and then would go to the next family. There was this girl Gabby.. oh boy she´s my fav... i loved her she had the cutest laugh and cheeks. So we left went home then i was off with another girl to night shift with the babies... oh boy i love them they are the sweetest little things... we cant pick them up very much cuz the workers get mad but i do love them. While one girl was sleeping i was in the room with them taking care of them. At eleven i helped the worker change diapers in Sala dos and Sala tres which are the older kids. That was an event they dress the kids like there in the coldest part of the world!! its just part of there culture but its weird the kids are hot and sweaty. Oh well... at one o clock i went to bed... it freaked me out!! its creepy upstairs i left the light on it was too scary. At six i woke back up and helped more with the babies then at seven came home. I went to church there was like no one there its crazy but there all so nice. Now i´m just chillin. But anyways ecuador is huge there is houses all over on the mountain its insane. But just thought i would let you know i will get pics up soon but i cant put any of the children on any website so you´ll just have to wait till i´m home to see the cutest kids ever!! Anyways i love you all!!!!
