Hey everyone! The time has come that I leave for Ecuador for a couple of monthes! I can't believe that tomorrow I will be flying out of Sioux Falls and landing in Lima Peru! My bags are all packed and now it is just time to go. The goodbyes to friends and family have been very hard this past week but I know that I have alot of support back here in the states.When we land in Lima Peru we will stay in a hotel and then on Saturday we have a 8 to 10 hour bus ride. This will be the start to a ten day training. The training will prepare us for the leading other short term teams, which we will be starting to do June 7.  Please pray for safe travels and that Aaron Jen and I will build good solid relationships with the other students and missionaries we will be serving with this summer. That is all I know for now and I don't know when I will get to blog next, talk to you soon!
