Ecuador has been a place of great beauty, fun adventures, interesting cultures, delightful friends, fascinating history, breathtaking art, and so much more.
I've worked with young people from around the world. I've delighted in their learning, anguished over their troubles and prayed for their journey. I've also been able to participate in the birth of a new church and worked on Christian school conferences.It has been so good to work in a very well run school. The schedule often left this "youth impaired" gal tired to the bone and taking deep breaths to keep going in the high altitude, but the purpose of our mission and occasional R&R would refresh the body and give energy to the soul. I thank God for the honor of finishing out my missionary career in this delightful place. I am most blessed.
Where to from here? In June I plan to return to Garner, NC and resume teaching ESL classes at Wake Tech. My plan is to buy a home and perhaps take in international students from time to time. No matter where God takes me, I find there is beauty to find and enjoy. There are fears to conquer, difficulties to endure, and disappointments to sort through. Most of all there are people to love and encourage.
Hope your adventure these last three years has been as fulfilling.
