After spending a day in Argentina, I've arrived safely in Ecuador. The long flight took me from Melbourne to Auckland, Auckland to Buenos Aires, stopping over in Santiago, Chile and Guayaquil (Ecuador) before finally arriving in Quito.
After a week of immense struggle with the Lord, I resigned from my job in Australia at the Mercy Health Foundation, sold my car (for just a tad more than scrap metal), and prepared to leave. Just before I left, I met the girl of my dreams. The woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
After a few weeks of pure bliss, it's awfully difficult for me now to spend time away from her.
But at the moment, this is where God wants me to be. Upon my arrival, I was told my favourite kid (whose memory I held in my heart for 2 years) had finally been adopted, together with his sister, and that they had left for Italy with their new adoptive family the previous night. One of the special needs children had passed away the week previous, and one of the Houses had been renamed.
Despite a few minor changes in playground equipment and staff, much remains the same.
We're preparing for Christmas celebrations, and it is such a joy to be spending this time with the children.
