Sorry I haven´t written in a long time! Quick Update.
Transfers happened! I abandoned the coast and now I´m here in the Sierra in a city called Cuenca. It´s absolutely beautiful. My area is huge (I don´t know how I´m going to memorize it, but oh well). It includes parts of the countryside, super close to the mountains, and also the center of the city. The countryside is classic Ecuadorian culture and the city is kind of Europeish. It´s weird, but really awesome...and suuuuuper cold (well, maybe like 50-60 degrees but it feels like antarctica in comparison to santa rosa). Huge, beautiful catholic churches here too...jaja. My companion is Hermana Dahua from Peru. She is super awesome! She is also bien salada. Being together is kind of dangerous, but has made for some really funny moments.
Milagro de hoy: My previous companion and I were teaching a family in Santa Rosa. They had a daughter who really wanted to learn more about God (investigadora de oro), but we could only teach on the weekends because she was studying in Cuenca hint hint. ya sabe. I didn´t get a chance to see her my last two weeks in Santa Rosa because she is suffering a little bit of anxiety and depression and didn´t want to travel. When I found out that I had transfers to Cuenca (they tell us in the bus terminal) I had a little tiny bit of hope that maybe I could find her. But then I arrived to Cuenca, and it´s a huge city and there are a lot sectors, so I knew the chances were slim. ya sabe! We found here today! We both screamed a bit when we saw each other. Her university and where she lives is super close to our apartment. Seriously, what are the chances?? A miracle folks, that is all.
That´s all I have time for today! I will send pictures next week! (hopefully jaja)
