I am en route to Quito, Ecuador. My day began this morning at 3:00am! I was able to get a whole three hours of sleep; luckily I was able to sleep on my first flight from Minneapolis to Miami. I am currently in the Miami airport waiting for my flight to leave after being delayed for two hours. I will be arriving in Quito at 9:00pm and will hopefully be meeting my group there once I get to the airport. Traveling by myself has been an adventure so far. A lot of my interactions since I have been in Miami have been in Spanish which has been wonderful but also challenging. One of the agents that helped me with my connecting flight told me that I spoke Spanish well. That was comforting to hear especially since it is easy to feel inadequate when you aren’t speaking your native language.
I have an answer to prayer. I am officially fully supported! I am so thankful for all of your support and prayers in making this goal a reality. I am looking forward to this trip. It finally is real to me that I am going!
