Planting seeds....

So today went a whole lot better than I was expecting. I was very nervous and didn't know what to expect. BUT it went great!!! Bryan, Robbie, Zack, and I went to a class at the University this morning for two hours and we just got to know the students and vice versa. I absolutely loved it. Then the whole group reunited and we played frisbee and we got some students out there to play with us for a few hours and they really enjoyed it. At around 3:30 we went to the next class. I was with Trevor and Trish and at first it started out kind of rough for me. I didn't really say much. However, once a little time went by and the students continued to talk and ask question it got better. I got asked if I had a boyfriend and if they could have my number. Lol. All of these Ecuadorians were crazy about us. Pretty much everyone was asked if they were single. It was very funny. Anyway, we invited each class to come to one of our translators, Rebecca, for a night of worship. Just worship. Well, to be completely honest I wasn't expecting a lot of the students to come but oh how I was wrong. I was sitting down looking at my pictures on my camera and I look up and one whole side is filled with the afternoon class I was at!!! I was so excited!!! I went and said hi and sat by them and once the worship started I lost it. I was so happy these kids showed up. It just really touched my heart. Then they started leaving during it and I couldn't just stay in there so I had to go outside to see what was going on. Well they had to leave because of class in the morning and they lived far away. But needless to say it was still absolutely amazing!!! I love worship and I loved tonight. The songs really touched my heart and our group time, man, the things that were said really inspired and encouraged me also. I really am looking forward to tomorrow when we go back to the classes. These students are just so friendly and nice and laid back. :)

P.S. I don't think I've mentioned how the people in Ecuador greet. They do the little kiss on the cheek thing. Ha ha, I have always wanted to greet people like that. I find every reason to do it now. Lol. I love meeting people here. :D I know, I'm a dork.
