The Ecuador group left this morning at 4:50am and we did not arrive to our destination until 11:30. I didn't think I was going to make it considering I didn't go to sleep the night before. I went out with a friend one last time before I left and we got back at 2 and they didn't leave till 4 which was when I needed to get up. I have no regrets though because that night was absolutely amazing!
Anyway, I absolutely love airports and flying and considering I haven't been on a plane in 2 years I was filled with excitement! And it was quite an adventure. These people I am traveling with are such great people and they make me laugh constantly. I'm so thankful that God blessed me with this amazing opportunity and to share with some wonderful people. We started off in Dallas, flew to Miami and had a 3 hour lay over because our flight got delayed, then hopped on the plane to Ecuador. That flight was a little rough, I'm not gonna lie. It was a four hour flight. Longest I've ever been on a plane. However, they did put on a good movie that I have been wanting see: The Tourist. I only lasted about thirty minutes into it though then fell asleep. And then we got dinner which was actually pretty good! Shocking. Once we arrived in Ecuador it got a little crazy. But we survived it. We had to ride on a bus for three hours just to get us to the town we are serving in. I'll just say this real quick...two hours into the bus ride I was starting to get cranky and it didn't help that once we FINALLY got to the hotel they wanted to talk for about 30 minutes to an hour. I wanted to shoot myself. BUT I still had a lot of fun today. And I can't wait to see what God has planned for the rest of this week.
Funny story: I didn't get my second ticket from Miami to Ecuador so Chad and I had to talk to the people and the lady asked me, get this, "If I was older than 15?". Really?!
