Arrival in Ecuador

Last night I arrived here in Quito, Ecuador at around 10:30pm. We were met at the airport by some of the missionaries that live in the city. We piled up our luggage and were dropped off at different apartments where we will be living for the next week or so. This week or so will be partly orientation to our jobs and partly a time to take care of paperwork. We will have to verify our visas, obtain our censos (national ID's), and take the driver's test. Once that is through we'll be able to move down to where we'll actually be living and working. So hopefully the time of living out of a suitcase will soon come to an end. You can pray that all these things get taken care of smoothly and easily. Mainly the driver's test as it's, of course, all in Spanish....and the study guide is quite long at 367 questions. I find that very ironic as very few of the driving laws are obeyed here and the cops don't seem to care. Thanks for everyone who was praying as I went through language school...that stage is now done and I'm about to embark on the real work!
