I’m back to Ecuador after six weeks of being in the States. After a 30 hour plane delay, I made it home on August 17. The trip was a combination of visiting family and friends and doing fundraising for FHC. During the past six weeks, I spoke at five different church services in four different states, two different schools, two Missions Committees, four college classes, and organized an art show. I was also working on redesigning the orphanage’s website – hopefully coming soon which I’ve been saying for the last month now. So it wasn’t really a vacation per say. I also got to visit good college friends and high school friends, and I saw almost every single one of my relatives. Oh and I also survived an earthquake and a hurricane in NY! Some highlights include going running along the Hudson with Jess, a beach picnic dinner with my parents, Krista, Keke, Tim, Diane and kids, swimming in a retirement community with Cara, going bike riding with Diana, going to the Hamptons which included an Indian PowWow with Krista, time in NYC with friends, playing board games with family, and Capt. Dusty’s with Jaclyn and Sarah. The Art Show was a lot of fun. It was hosted at a beautiful apartment in Manhattan and we auctioned off artwork that the kids at FHC had made. Over $5,000 was raised for the orphanage! I'd love to share photos with you, but it looks like I accidentally deleted them!
