Hey everyone,
I leave for Quito in a week. I’m really excited, but definitely nervous too. I’ll be using this blog site while I’m away. I’m try
ing to get into the habit of using it on a regular basis, but I think it might take me a little while. Pat (my younger bro, who frequently goes by ‘brother’) will be helping me keep everything up to date and everyone informed. That's him in the photo - he's a cool kid.
It’s going to be different being away from everyone at school. I didn't realize how hard separation is going to be. I was driving home a few nights ago when “How To Save A Life” by The Fray came on the radio. I immediately thought about Caroline and Becca – wondering how summer was going for them, how Caroline’s Semester At Sea experience was, how Becca is doing (since I haven’t talked to her in over two weeks!!). Then I realized that this is what it’s going to be like for the next year. There won’t be any singing to Becca in the middle of the night when I want her to wake up and talk to me, and no spending night after night after night on the balcony of the library with Caroline until 3 a.m... as she works really hard and I pass out and take a nap. So I’m a little sad right now because I am really, really going to miss all my friends at The Brair. But it’s only a year, and Quito is going to be a great experience.
I have the information about my host family and where I will be living. If you want my mailing address, send me an e-mail and I will send it to you. I’m also going to put it on Facebook when I get a chance. I am in the process of writing an e-mail to my host mom, but it’s really difficult - not the 100% Spanish part as much as the I don’t know her at all yet and this will be her first impression of the kid who’s coming to live with her for the next year.
For everyone at SBC, I’ll be coming down to visit with you guys before I go to Ecuador. I’m going to leave here on Sunday (19 Aug.) after church, so I should get to campus sometime around 2:30 or 3 in the afternoon. I don’t know where anyone lives this year (other than Megan and Laura live in that really funny-looking room of a “triple” in Randolph, and Becca and Kaelyn are upstairs from there), so I’ll try to find everyone in Prothro if I don’t see you before supper time. Otherwise, if you need help, I’ll help y’all move in. I’m excited to see all of you. :)
