The Hole in Our Gospel
I had this morning mostly free & spent it just relaxing and reading. I just started Richard Stearn’s The Hole in Our Gospel, and I can already tell it’s going to be a challenging, enlightening book. I wanted to share a bit from what I read this morning: “Jesus asked a great deal of those …
Time Flies
I wrote the date this morning and couldn’t believe it’s almost been a month since I left. It definitely doesn’t feel that long! Actually, I have already made a list of all the things I can’t wait to get back to in the states… and Chickfila may or may not be top priority… Anyway, the …
Ups & Downs
My first few days here have been filled with extreme highs and lows (as expected..) I spent my first night wondering why I was here and missing everything familiar, my second day absolutely in love with everything around me and eager for what my time here will hold, my third day sick in bed, and …
aaand Thoughts from Portoviejo
I wrote this earlier today when I had a bit of free time but the internet wasn’t connected… so I’m posting it now! I have a busy few days ahead of me and wanted to at least share a little about where I am and what I’m doing. Portoviejo is a bit of a bus …
Thoughts From the Bus

Random Facts
Since I might be leaving Quito tomorrow, I thought I would share some random things from life here! I think it makes sense that the first is this: plans change every other minute. I think I’m leaving tomorrow for Portoviejo, but I still don’t know… I thought this would bother me a lot since I …
Crazy Life
If this isn’t clear yet, I LOVE living here. My first full week was full of new things, adventures, transitions, pictures, craziness, prayer, frustrations, and lots of laughter. Thursday and Friday mornings were spent at COVi with about 45 kids! We played with them in the park, and helped prepare & clean up snacks and …
Day Off!
The past few days have been FULL, and I’m thankful we had a day off today. Since I work at Casa Elizabeth on the weekends and don’t really have time to relax, I decided to take Wednesdays off from everything and just sleep/read/catch up on whatever! On Monday, Jenna and Adelle and I went to …
LOVE my new home!
I’ve only been getting positive feedback about my blog, so I’m just going to continue writing often and you can stop reading if it’s too much! (: I have just had an AMAZING few days, and there’s so so much to share. Every weekend, Jenna and I are in charge of the girls at Casa …
