well, i made it here! we had problems with the plane on the way to quito, so we had to return tp Panama two times! that was completely unexpected. instead of arriving at 10 20. we got there at 4 30. ! today we had orientation for the univeristy. it has been going great and my host family is better than i could have hoped. thank you all for your love and prayers and support before my trip. i reallu needed to remember that the past few days. God has been with me and i am very thankful for all of his provisions. i better run now, but ttys!!!!
