Greetings!

Hi everyone!

My shirt for Ecuador & the Galapagos came in the mail! YAY! I am so excited! Thank you for all the financial help, prayers, and or encouragement. I am truly blessed by all of you. I will have access to internet for 15 minutes each day and so I will do my best to post on here each day so that you all can keep up with me. I have been connecting with some of the members who are on my team this year. Five people who were on my team last year in Guatemala are also on my team this year. I can't wait to see them all and meet all the new and unfamiliar faces. Every inch of my heart trembles in excitement. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us in Ecuador. I ask that you continue to keep my team and I in your prayers. Once again, thank you so much!

Love,
Michelle

PS: I bought LOTS of bubbles, stickers, some coloring books, and toys to bring over to Ecuador. I've also strung a lot of bead bracelets and wove some string bracelets to give away on this trip. Seeing these things each day are wonderful reminders of what is to come in TWO WEEKS (oh snaps, so soon!).

PPS: I forgot to mention that I'm a LIT (leader in training) this year. This makes me apprehensive but I know that it will be very rewarding (:.
