Hey everybody!!! Im so sorry i have´nt written in forever... just been REAL busy. but ummmmmm we´ve done a lot of things since i´ve written, so ill just start with the beach. my family took me to the beach called Atacames and another called Same. (oh and that´s "SAH-meh" not same haha)it was absolutely gorgeous!! even though i had just gone two weeks prior, i felt the same joy and excitement that i felt the first time when dr. torres took us. the first day was the only one that the sun shined... and i got buried in the sand made to look like a mermaid... don´t even worry about it haha. it was actually really cool!! felipe my 3-year-old nephew here made a really cool swimming "sea" pool. we checked out the beach market looking around then went back to our absolutely gorgeous beachhouse. some friends from the church own it and let us use it for free. its simply AMAZING!!!!!!! haha its so close to the beach that theres just a fence separating you from it! so then the next day i got to get up early and jog on the beach with papi and mami as we went to buy some breakfast at the market. that was VERY neat because it was perfectly chilly but i didnt even mind because i was jogging. then over the next couple of days we just chilled. like, we went to the beach, visited some family there, and spent time together. i definitely made a lot of good memories!! then, that weekend was nathan´s birthday which was really neat. it was ecuadorian of course which basically means dancing dancing dancing haha but it was really cool. i bet nathan will never forget that he had his 17th bday here in ecuador, and he definitely won´t forget the beautiful presents that he received along with the oh so special ones he got from kellie lauren and i.lol well, that was the first week of november, so the second week would have been last week... we had testing all this past week at school, but all is well; they have certain weeks where they just take monthly exams and this past week we did exactly this. then, this friday we celebrated daysi´s bday, but just the four of us went to her house to spend some time together, we had a very nice dinner of fish and beans... nathan´s favorite :) lol that was fun though! and then on saturday, we all worked at the school, because were raising money so we can go to the galapagos... nathan and i taught english while kellie and lauren baby-sat. it was a really cool experience... so cool in fact that i think i might wanna be a teacher someday... but all in good timing :) then today we were invited to go to lauren´s church. so kellie and i got to spend the night at her house, and we put up the christmas tree there. the church was pretty cool... somewhat like a pentacostal church in the u.s. i liked it!! then, they dropped me off where my family was in a city called guamani and we all spent the afternoon with friends from the church. oh and everyone... GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!
TODAY IS MY MOMMY´S BIRTHDAY!!! it was really sad that i couldn´t be there but i heard that she had a very good time!! love you and miss you guys sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomuch!!! but ecuador is such a blessing and a great oppurtunity that i wouldn´t trade being here for the world!!
