grrrrr

well,

i had a beautiful blog for you guys, complete with pics and everything... but it disappeared! i've always told my friends copy your email before you send it incase it doesn't...and i did....but it still managed to slip away from me.

so... rather than a well detailed post... you'll get a brief summary, with the pics, if they load.

Saturday
-went to Papallacta with some ecuadorian friends... and Bonnie and Kara - gotta love those girls. Bonnie's in Shell right now at the hospital, but came out for a little reunion
-had a relaxing day in the hotsprings. good times

Sunday
-FINALLY got in touch with Pan de Vida. shelter/soup kitchen place across the street from English Fellowship Church. been waiting since i got here to help out!
-Director is an ecuadorian, but went to school in the states. completed a masters in economics and business, and is totally convinced that God's call on his life is to help the less fortunate individuals here in Ecuador.
-im gonna be making a website for them, which im soo psyched about! yah, im a geek...i like to make websites. websites make me smile :)
-went to La Armenia Valle with my family to celebrate yet anotehr birthday party with the extended family. learnt how to salsa dance with my Cristhian and Gaby...i suck. man, latin bodies move in a way that no other body can move...they can try, but it's unlike anything i've ever seen. i'll be learning more at home, im sure.

This afternoon
-had practice for the Turkey Bowl - american football tournament happening next week between different missionary organizations. never played football in my life...and i loved it! i even caught the ball - twice! i forgot to keep running the first time...but the second time i took it hoooooome baby! good times... i worked muscles i never even knew i had. im sore now... i guess running laps around the field doesn't cut it...

more adventures to come, im sure. i love this country, i love the people... i love you :)

was gonna load some pics, but don't have the patience, cos it's taking too long and i have to go!

peace,
